Hey GH'ers - I'm going to head to the Timberwolves shootout on Saturday, and am hoping to be able to get quick interviews with these two. Just when I was thinking that they had probably been asked everything...I figured I'd solicit questions from you. I know I get a lot of random ones on Twitter too, as inquiring minds want to know about these talented young men.

I know whenever DL posts on the Football side for Jerry Kill q's, they are fantastic. And since this is a fan website...what do you want to know? I'll use the best ones.

If I don't get to chat with them on Friday, I'll try to catch them during the season. Fire away!

Okay, how about
4) Whats your favorite season and why? if you want a meatier question

5) Are you worried about never finding a job in Minnesota again if you leave the state for college?
 


Here's one - "Do you want to be a legend in your homestate for the rest of your life?"
 

Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses, or 1 horse-sized duck?
 

Is there a realistic chance you come to Minnesota, yes or no?

Is Duke the lead dog for you right now, Tyus?

Rashad, if Vince Taylor gets a full time gig elsewhere, will that be a knock against Minnesota?

Please, someone, anyone ask these. Yes or no questions. They get you the most information.


Also, ask Anders Broman if he thinks he deserves better than SDSU. Maybe not those exact words, but I'd be curious to see if he is hurt about not getting a chance at a bigger school.
 

Okay. Serious question.

How is your relationship with Tubby Smith or would you enjoy playing for an old school coach like Tubby Smith? (not assistants, but Smith).
 



Do you see the style of play of the Tubby coached Gophers as a positive or negative regarding your decision?
Which past Gopher player does your game most resemble or which player was your favorite growing up?
What current player would you most like to play with and why?
Where would you like to be in 5 years?
How important is fan appreciation (chants, twitter, etc) to your decision?
 

Just one question. Are you going to play for the gophers? Come onnn...
 

Is wearing women's underwear part of your turn-on?
 

Ask them if they want to be in a 30 for 30 Documentary 5 years from now about 3 High School kids that picked the local University and went to the National Championship?
 



(1) "When a player of consequence, like yourself, chooses to ultimately end their athletic career, often times there is an opportunity for that player to return to their alma mater and make a significant impact in some way, shape or form. Does that idea of 'creating a legacy' at your future college-home play a role in your upcoming decision?"

(2) "Do you feel there is any way we as citizens could harness the power of Tubby's mustache and focus it's strength to fight crime, cure disease, etc.?"
 

Tyus: A point guard is supposed to be a leader right? If you believe that to be true, would you really think about basing you college decision off of where Jahlil Okafor goes? Let him follow you man.

Rashad: How could you see yourself in 5 years as a gopher? How about Baylor/Kansas/MSU/Louisville/Cuse' etc.?

Tyus: What do you think your legacy will be at a Blue Blood school like Duke or UK versus U of M?

Tyus & Rashad: If you both, along with Reid Travis commit to the U of M, how far do you think the gophers could go?

Tyus & Rashad: Do you think the gophers could beat the likes of Duke, UK, KU, UNC, Cuse' with you both on the team?

Winner, winner. Chicken dinner.
 

1. What has the whole recruiting process been like for you so far? Are you enjoying it or will you be glad when it's over?
2. Do you feel a lot of pressure from family and friends to stay home?
3. If you could pick one thing about your game that makes you stand out compared to other players, what would it be?
4. What's your "can't miss" tv shows?
 

What material do you prefer your statues to be made out of after you lead the Gophers to the national title? Is solid gold okay?

1. Yeah, the whole recruiting process has been great, the coaches are great, my fans are great, its all be great. I am enjoying it to the fullest, just taking my time and making sure I check into everything. Its a tough decision but ultimately me and my family will make the right decision for us.
2. Of course there is pressure to stay home, I hear it all the time, but there is pressure to go elsewhere as well. Ultimately me and my family will make the decision thats best for us. We are going to take our time and do the right thing.
3. I think I'm the greatest
4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
 

After you commit to Minnesota, are you going to work on your fellow elite recruits to join you so we have a class that rivals Michigan's Fab Five?
 

To Rashad.... does rodneys' success and vast improvement play any part in your interest to the U
 

Wow - some of these are really great questions, and some are just hilarious. So glad I asked. Keep 'em coming!
 

Ask them both if they know where Stub and Herb's is.
 

Have you ever seen or do you know someone that has seen a big foot? Did you pee a little when you saw it?
 

Do you want to be just another cog in the machine at Duke or Kentucky and be one of many in the back of the fan's memory or long remembered as part of something special for a great coach and the University of Minnesota?
 

ask them if they would really pass on the opportunity to be a gopher and miss out on being interviewed by Amelio Rayno, Nadine Babu, and of course Sid after every game
 

Ask them if they read the Gopherhole and what they think of it?
 


Please ask this to Tyus! Please!

"Have you imagined creating a backcourt pairing with Andre Hollins, who will be a senior in 2014?"

And to both recruits if you have time...

"Have you pictured a possible 6-man rotation in 2014 of Tyus Jones, Andre Hollins, Rashad Vaughn, Joe Coleman, Reid Travis, and Elliot Eliason? How would you feel about that team?"
 

Ask them if they have a preference on a major yet and if that will have a bearing on which college they attend?
