Wahl will be announcing his commintment to Wisconsin soon.
I know he has been favored to go there, any reason you are confident it will happen soon?

Honestly surprised it took this long, all signs pointed to him wanting to be a badger from the get go and that all he was waiting for was the offer. Badgers of developed quite the pipeline with Lakeville.
When you have d bag Ruevers whispering in his ear, what do you expect.

A pipeline? One kid (Reuvers) is a pipeline?

Reuvers has a massive hollowed out core is all.
This in-state recruiting is a flat-out embarrassment. There has to be more to this. You have to really try to miss on this this many quality recruits since Pitino has been here. Who did Pitino piss off?
Yeah embarrassing for sure. I mean King, Lynch, Johnson, Coffey, Hurt, Kalscheur, Omersa, Oturu and maybe a new one in the next few weeks. Oh wait those are all Minnesota kids that Pitino DID land.This in-state recruiting is a flat-out embarrassment. There has to be more to this.

Pitino absolutely whiffed on the 2017 class, which was arguably the most talented MN high school basketball class ever. Trent Jr, Reuvers, Davison, Thompson, and Sims all left MN. Already missed out on Terry and Wahl, and no way they land Matthew Hurt. Minnesota high school basketball has been getting better but a lot of the top talent is leaving the state.

Whoever is saying they don't want him for the Gophers should go back in time and make their pitch to Coach Pitino before he offered him a scholarship.
One way or another, this pipeline situation is at least a little depressing. LN is going to continue to pump out D1 talent, and once again our strategy still seems to be to wait for Wisconsin to recede as a program so that the bloom goes off the rose for these recruits.
There are always going to be kids who just don't want to go to school so close to home and don't want mom and dad 30 minutes away. They want to get away. Some kids want to be close enough to home where mom and dad can come to some games but not be overbearing.
I think we benefit from this a lot in football. All things considered we are a fairly similar program to Northwestern and Illinois, Northwestern might even have better facilities than us, but kids come up to Minneapolis, get a change of scenery, see that it's drivable, but not too close, and commit. Some kids just want to not be 20 minutes from where they grew up...
Right now our basketball team is in a better position than Wisconsin. This doesn't change that.
We are?!?
Yes.
Yes.
