That would be funny. In all honesty he is probably watch Alec Brown(?) and Jordan Smith. Alec plays for Winona while Smith plays for Orono.
No way. He's going to Northern State. They've decided they will beat at Winona State at any cost. Don Meyer is a close personal friend, so it's pretty much a done deal. No word on if they will build a practice facility though.

Ok, but I believe Moats plays for Waconia, not Orono.

I follow the HS basketball scene pretty closely but unfortunately have never seen him play. The impression I get from people though is more of a mid-major player. But again, NEVER seen him play.

Nah - sources tell me Tubby is establishing his own (new) college in Orono.

Your correct the final sticking point to the deal is NSU really wants a multi purpose facility not specific to basketball you know like for spring baseball and girls tennis . They are pushing for that hard. Tubby wants a basketball only facility. Now its up to Boards of Regents to decide, create a budget analysis, do a few studies, this could go either way.
I have coached against Waconia in a league last fall. He is about 6'5" or 6'6", very strong for a high school player. Lefty who kind of floats on the perimeter a bit, likes to shoot the 3. IMO, I would think that we could get someone as good elsewhere, but I think after a couple of years he could contribute. He kind of reminds me a little of a guy who played for Maryland a few years ago; Nick Caner-Medley (sp?) I believe. Similar games from my perspective.
The SD Board of Regents is as dysfunctional as any. Sadly, NSU has a decent chance of being shut down in 2012 or shortly thereafter to 'cut costs'. Meanwhile, Coach Meyer is (or was) pushing for an expansion of the Barnett Center. Doesn't make a lot of sense.
