Nolen Anderson commits to Gophers!!!




Per Marcus:

On Thursday, the 6-7 senior wing announced his commitment to new Gophers coach Niko Medved.

“When I told Niko he was pretty pumped and so was the rest of the staff,” Anderson told the Star Tribune. “I’m excited. I can’t wait to get down there next year.”

Medved and assistant coach Dave Thorson watched Anderson’s breakout performance during D1 Minnesota 17U’s run to the Adidas 3SSB championship game in South Carolina. Anderson visited the U unofficially and started to build a relationship with the new coaching staff that has already established a strong local presence since Ben Johnson was fired in late March.

“The biggest thing is how invested they were in me and showing their interest in me,” Anderson said. “They were at every single one of my games [during the live recruiting period]. They were non-stop communicating with me and being honest and transparent with everything.”


Go Gophers!!
 






Seems to be a similar player to transfer Cade Tyson, a 6-7 200 SF, and Bobby Durkin, 6-7 220. Shooting is a definite strength of all 3. Great to get a Wayzata guy as they are a top program that produces some talent. Also great that his game has really taken off this summer that he comited now.
 


















Anyone interested in seeing some highlights of N. Anderson and Wiggins (Iowa St.) vs Maple Grove JR (Baboucarr Ann), it's a fantastic game.

Anderson makes quite a few 3's, including running off a screen, and a nice faceup drive.

The JR Baboucarr is matched up with Wiggins much of the game. He is at least an inch taller, is much longer, and seems to be a better athlete. Baboucar reminds me of Femi Odukale with a very good 3 pt shot. He has to be a high priortiy for Niko!

who is the pg # 4 for Maple Grove?
 


#4 is Max Iverson. I looked him up after watching the clip yesterday. He's listed as 6'3" and a very solid player.

I see that Bleed posted in another thread that he is the son of former Gopher and Eden Prairie standout, Ryan Iverson and headed to NDSU next year.
Maybe Niko could flip him!

Iverson looks like a solid mid major prospect. Many great h schoolers just don’t have the upside for power 5 conferences, be it height, quickness, athleticism. He could be a very solid player there, and be the 10% you missed on.

Ryan Iverson? That’s a name out of the past.

I can remember when Jesse ‘the Body’ Ventura stunned the world and was elected governor of Minnesota.

On election night in 1998, while giving his acceptance speech, Jesse was sharing inside jokes with some young, unnamed guy in the room. and that young, unnamed guy turned out to be Ryan Iverson.

Glad to know his son is doing well and will be a Bison.
