All Things Gophers Basketball Class of 2022 Recruiting Thread

So...Dodd is simply not good enough for the B1G. Why then would anyone pine for him to be on scholarship at UMN?
I’ve never seen Dodd play so I no perspective on his ability to play at the Big Ten level. But I do know that lower level D1 programs doesn’t mean lower admission requirements than power five.
 


I’ve seen Dodd and Holloman play. The difference in the 2 are closer then you want to admit.
I have only seen Dodd in person, but Holloman on film. Perhaps their shot is similar in that they aren't going to light it up behind the arc.
I saw Dodd play DeLassle in the section finals. He was the 2nd best point guard on the court in that particular game. I am surprised he didn't get an offer from St Thomas as he would have been capable in that league with SDSU, NDSU and others.
 




I heard the same thing about Payne
Payne has likely already made admission requirements unless he screws up this spring. ACT OR SAT scores are probably already been satisfactorily received by UMN Admissions. Don’t know about Dodds.
 

Agree. Something seems off there.
When people complain about the portal, I always roll my eyes because it's going on at all levels of college basketball, mid and low majors are also using the portal to stay older, so there aren't as many opportunities for Freshman. Look at Augustana Freshman class, that class is absoloutely loaded for a D2 school. St. Thomas has a loaded class for a team that's only in it's second year of D1 basketball and won't be eligible for the Dance until their incoming Freshmen are Seniors. If Dodd plays well, he will have opportunities to transfer up

Go Gophers!!
Welcome aboard Kadyn!

It's interesting that we refer to him as a wing, I always thought of him as a stretch 4 type. If he can play the wing at that size, it'll be huge for us.
