Junior shooter J.P. Macura of Lakeville North has continued to pick up interest after a strong shooting performance at the recent adidas VIP Exclusive Run.
Macura added offers from Drake and Dayton to go with previous offers from North Dakota, North Dakota State, South Dakota, South Dakota State, Milwaukee, Toledo, Vermont, Northern Colorado, Wyoming, St. Louis, Utah State and New Mexico State and Minnesota could be extending an offer in the future.
GopherHole.com caught up with Macura Thursday night to learn the latest on his recruitment.
Gopher Hole: You had some close games in Dallas. How do you think things went last weekend?
J.P. Macura: I thought it went pretty well. We didn’t play as well together as a team as I thought we would, but that is what we have next weekend for.
Gopher Hole: Do you think that was a good learning experience playing against some of the top teams in the country to get you ready for the rest of the spring?
J.P. Macura: Definitely. I think that it got us ready because now we are going to play more together this upcoming weekend. I think that we will be good.
Gopher Hole: What was that experience like with all the coaches watching you guys?
J.P. Macura: I mean, it is just the same. We all just had to stay composed. I think that we didn’t think about it too much and just played.
Gopher Hole: It sounds like you have heard from some new schools recently. Who have you heard from?
J.P. Macura: Florida State, North Carolina State, Indiana, Boston College, Iowa State and Providence.
Gopher Hole: I think that you got a couple of new offers as well, right?
J.P. Macura: Drake and Dayton.
Gopher Hole: Have you had a chance to talk to the new Gopher coaches yet?
J.P. Macura: Yes, I talked to Pitino a few days ago. He said that he is going to be watching me closely and is going to try to come out and watch me play. He said that he wants me to come to campus soon and visit and meet with the coaches.
Gopher Hole: Do you know when you might do that?
J.P. Macura: I’m not sure. He said that we’ll talk when I get back from Denver.
Gopher Hole: North Carolina State said that they might offer you after watching you this weekend. Is that your hope that you might pick up some more offers after playing this week?
J.P. Macura: Hopefully. I just have to play my game and just show up.
