Even if Duke loses today, Amir Coffey isn't going to say to himself. Oh, if I go to Duke I will lose the national title? Looks like I should stay home and hopefully make the tourney!
Pure speculation. You nor I have any idea what Amir Coffey is going to say to himself. Maybe he'll say to himself, "My dad made an Elite 8 with the Gophers and Wisconsin just won the National title with three starters from their home state. Minnesota can win a National title. It is possible."
So to answer your question, yes, Duke every time.
Even if my hypothetical lineup was a reality tonight? I just don't get that. In my opinion the less success the MN blue chippers have when they go to greener pastures and the more success the MN blue chippers have if they stay at home and go to Minnesota the better for the Minnesota Gopher program. As a die hard Minnesota fan I want the Gophers above anyone else to have more success.
Minnesota won't realistically be competing with Duke for recruits any time soon. We may be on the same list, but they wouldn't be picking MN over Duke due to the great success of the program it would be for reasons that won't change regardless if Duke wins or not.
You are probably right. It is a safe bet and likely a good bet. However, it's unknown. Maybe the Gophers will compete with Duke in the future. Just need a couple Blue Chippers to take the leap...
Anyway, I like and read your posts when I see them. Enjoy the game if you are going to watch it.
