Re-Ranking Last Year's Top 100 Recruits - Coleman ranked #48, Hollins #40

[BleedGopher]

Their top 100 ranking from HS is in parenthesis:

48. Joe Coleman, Minnesota (95)
Coleman started roughly half the Gophers' games and played about half their minutes. Like many in this section of the list, he had a perfectly solid freshman campaign -- an average starter on an average Big Ten team.

40. Andre Hollins, Minnesota (79)
Hollins turned in one of the more impressive shooting seasons of anyone on this list. He made 38 percent of his 116 threes and 90 percent of his 94 free throws. He, as much as anyone after the injury to star Trevor Mbakwe, drove the Minnesota offense, even if Rodney Williams was its most effective contributor. Hollins turned the ball over on 26 percent of his possessions last season; if he can get that under control, 2013 looks bright for the Gophers.

I think we all wish the bolded was accurate last season. The obvious problem with re-ranking kids so early is that the opportunity to play early at certain schools is much greater than at others. That said, good to see some positive publicity for Hollins and Coleman.

I think it's great! I doubt there are 39 better freshman than Dre. The bad wheel really hurt him and the program. Last year was painful, but many saw better times were coming. Wish EE could be re-ranked! That said, need another strong recruiting class.
