If Johnson can land a an out of state player this highly ranked it would be quite the achievement. Would certainly help with the overall perception of his hire.

 

[jovs]

Does he have a visit lined up.

 

[Mulligan]

Be still my beating heart.

Jaden Henley might be the guy who closes the deal for us.

His best friend that grew up with Evans.

In the Strib article, Evans' AAU Coach said he thinks MN has a good chance to land Evans. the Coach noted the connection with Henley, who played with the same AAU program.

Evans also has some quotes that are very complimentary of the MN program. he comes off as a fairly thoughtful young man - not the type that is chasing the limelight.

Deal

What about

Pryzbilla?
Mbakwe?

 

[TruthSeeker]

Przybilla?

 

[GeRoe]

Lingenfelter? Played 2 years, I believe, before transferring to South Dakota, and in his last year here, 77-78, he averaged 3.5 points and 2.8 rebounds per game.

Deal

What about

Pryzbilla?
Mbakwe?

Mbakwe is like 6'8". Not really a big though he definitely played bigger than he was!

 

[Gophers7NatTitlesBadgers0]

It would be something if he picked MN over KU!

 

[Holy Man]

It would be something if he picked MN over KU!

Reports suggest he is a really smart young man. Given that, not surprising at all!

Murphy was only 6'6" yet finished 2nd all time in B1G rebounding history!

[Roland Brooks]

What’s worse the list of bigs that were excluded or the fact Winter is on the list of great bigs at the U….

 

[Roland Brooks]

Bob Martin should be on it then

 

[Gophers7NatTitlesBadgers0]

Murphy was only 6'6" yet finished 2nd all time in B1G rebounding history!

I thought this was a list of great players 6'10" and over!

 

[tmvander]

Let's just name all the Gopher big men that we can remember
