[MadtownGopher]

Damn, would have liked to get Jolly on campus. Hopefully we get Ellison.

 

[Gopher Warrior]

Just kind of have a feeling on Ahmad Gilbert.

That he'll commit to MN soon or that he'll be a very good player?

This is all I know about this guy. He passes well...unselfish. He has a very funky left hand shot. About midway through this tape he throws a picture perfect right hand baseball pass....I watched it twice....ha. Quite unusual. Seems to have some potential but...

No, that he saw that tweet, and wanted to jump on here like he has some special inside info.

Can we get Theo John into accelerated classes? With a little improvement in his outside shot, he's the exact kind of forward we need- now.

Does the sun rise in the east?

Based solely on that video, he appears to be a slightly less impressive version of Dupree McBrayer. Definitely wouldn't be a bad get, especially at this point.

Damn. I guess that could have been worse though.

If Ellison doesn't commit to S. Car on his visit I like our chances.

If everything goes as planned, we should be his last visit.

 

[MadtownGopher]

Going to be kind of a quiet week for recruiting news I think. Have to hope for no commits while Ellison and Boucher are on their visits this weekend. If that happens, and no blue bloods jump in late, I think we get both.

Love the optimism. Fingers crossed.

Found this article on Ellison: http://highschoolsports.nj.com/news...get-malik-ellison-plans-south-carolina-visit/

Pertinent part:

Ellison doesn't have any other visits planned at the moment, but says that could change after he finishes his South Carolina visit. A recent report suggested that Ellison's father, Life Center coach Pervis Ellison, wanted the three-star guard to stay local and play at Rutgers while Ellison himself wanted to go to Minnesota — but Ellison denied that report.

Rutgers coach Eddie Jordan has made Ellison a priority on the recruitment trail, but Ellison declined to handicap a favorite in his recruitment and says he has "medium interest" in all the schools.

Ellison's priorities are clear as far as what he is looking for in a school. He doesn't really care where he's playing geographically as long as he's playing.

"Location doesn't affect my decision," Ellison said. "Playing time is main."

There have been some reports that Ellison is nearing a decision, but he told NJ Advance Media on Sunday that there is no timetable for his commitment.

Ellison's dad is making me nervous...

I see what you did there

 

[Winasota Gopher]

good stuff right there.

 

[DeathClutch]

Would love to get him on an official. He retweets Andrew Wiggins stuff all the time and I know Boucher is a big Garnett fan. Maybe there can be an "accidental" encounter at some point, if they visit.

 

[SelectionSunday]

George Mason de-commit

What is it that you like about these two? Just curious because i have seen them numerous times

Out of those three, my preference would be Boucher, then Gilbert, then Russo.
