Didn't realize Tyus had his own college. People are probably right we aren't getting him. Seems like he is going the Lebron package deal route. Except he's not Lebron or getting paid. There are plenty of good basketball players in the world. It may be easier to recruit kids from New York than Minnesota, Got to agree with Dr Don the arrogance and entitlement these kids show is a bit much.
Quite simple, if he and Okafor are going to play together he will not be a Gopher .History has showed upper midwest kids don't stay home to play. Be it Cole Aldrich, Harrison Barnes, Marcus Paige, Mike Miller, Alan Anderson, Nick Collison, Isiah Dahlman, Kirk Hinrich or a host of others. The big boys come calling and the party is over. The bright side is you can get plenty of good players , have them for four years and compete with the high turnover big programs. I'm through getting my hopes up that any of these kids would love to play at home. Maybe some day but when you look at 80 plus pages on Tyus on here it makes you think there are other players if he wants to play with a team of Mcdonald all Americans I could care less.
Cody Zeller doesn't belong in your arguement. There are way more big time players who leave. Especially in Iowa and Minnesota although Wisconsin has lost some also. The Totoko kid who is at North Carolina, Jerry Smith to Lousiville. Korie Luscious to Mich St,the Fisher kid from Germantown is going to Indiana. When you look at Rickert and Humphries it was freak deals that lead them to the U, Adam Boone went to Carolina. We managed to lose El AMIN. I know my recruiting history and it is close to impossible to get these kids when the bluebloods come calling. You could add Raef Lafrenz, Jeff Boshee, Johny Gilbert to the list. We did get Pryzbilla and Jacobson. But it is a struggle. Maybe Pitano will be the guy to change things.
