Damian Johnson is the coach there, correct? That can’t hurt.

Is he standing next to the sh!tter?

Pretty sure that’s a white board, but would be hilarious if your thought was true.

That still might qualify as a 'sh!tter' to some, have you been to San Francisco?

Name checks out.

Looking at some of the recruits we are getting in on early, 2025 has the potential to be a special class.

From what I hear, Wilson could be a really special player. I've never seen him play other than highlights but he is really tall for a FR who likely plays on the wing. He could easily grow to become a 6'9" wing player. He is highly skilled and hasn't quite grown into his body yet.

I think he'll end up being one of those kids recruited by the blue bloods. Glad we're in early.

Wilson played for Pulley this summer. He is currently ranked #67 by 247. I feel like he is one of the MN kids who is high ranked that we actually have a shot at.

Yes he is. He was recently a guest on the YT channel ‘Locked on Golden Gophers’ and mentioned that Ben is already on this kid. And he doesn’t go to Lakeville, so we have a chance

And he’s from Minneapolis so he won’t be scared of all the crime in Dinkytown…. Joking

EJ Walker is a 6-8 prospect out of Kentucky. Has been offered by WVU, Purdue, and some mid majors at this point.

Is he standing next to the sh!tter?

no that's just Iowa

 

[USAF]

no that's just Iowa

So...he's standing IN the shitter.

It wouldn’t, as long as the Gophers keep sending Damian free sweaters.

Only if you pronounce each vowel separately.
HI: Kah-oo-Kah-oo-Nah.
WI: caw-Caw-nah.

This cracked me up hard- nice explanation!

So that’s where Stoudermire’s gear has been going

Per Shooter:

The Gophers, with UCLA, also are in pursuit of 6-8, 175-pound Orono sophomore Brady Wooley. Minnesota is working on 6-7 sophomore shooting guard Jalen Wilson, too.

Charley Walters: Thinking playoff opener for Vikings? Think Cowboys, Giants or 49ers

The way it looks now, Minnesota’s first-round playoff opponent could be either the Cowboys, Giants or 49ers, depending on seeding.

maybe it was said in the in game thread for Maryland

But Mason Klabo. PG from Fargo Davies was a visitor for the Maryland game. And from what i hear the plan was for the Gophers coaches to head up to Fargo this week to check out a game or practice? not sure if that change with the whole covid thing.

He played with Howard Pulley on the AAU circuit.

I lived in Hawaii for seven years and Minnesota for 26, you got the pronunciations wrong.

ESPN doesn't list any Minnesota prospects making their 2025 prospects list yet. It's still early.

Great that we’re in on fo many highly rated 2025 players- Bens showing his ability to connect with the recruits and that our struggles this year apparently aren’t scaring them off thus far- many of these players are far more mature than lots of posters on here and I would think they know more about basketball as well than the Naismithians on here.
