Anyway we can get a list of players that we are recruiting and the players expected commitment date. I would expect that each player has a timeline in their head on when they will be verbally committing and it would be great to have that timeframe to follow?
 

I know in previous interviews Alex has said that he planned to commit before the start of his senior year, but who knows if that has changed since he is transfering out east.
 

Here's what I've gathered for the recruits that I would consider we have the best chance at. It's still pretty early for commitment dates to be set, but here are some general time frames that I found for some of the players. Things should become more clear once official visits are scheduled and taken. I've also listed three schools that I would consider likely leaders at this point.

Alex Illikainen
Fall (Alex could wait till late fall but Gophs will be there and I think they get him— Ryan James (@RyanJamesMN) July 24, 2014)

Max Hazzard, (Rivals #133) had a visit scheduled here same weekend as Nwankwo. Last time he was quoted, though, he seemed unsure if it was still on.

Cool, thanks for the update. Hadn't heard much about him for awhile, figured we maybe cooled on him with the recent offers to other guards Shamet and Randall. I assume it would be an unofficial visit since he doesn't hold a Minnesota offer that I'm aware of.

I'd have to assume we cooled on him and he cooled on us with the Dorsey commitment. They seem like very similar players - obviously with Dorsey being the more heavily recruited one though.
 





Figured I'd update this now that we have our second commitment. Put me in the camp that still believes Alex and Jarvis will round out our class!
