We know that they are a package deal and they plan on taking an official here

Syracuse, UCLA, and USC... if they're a package that is. Those are the schools in common that are recruiting them that I know of.

Take out UCLA as a serious contender, insert Miami, and now your Golden. ;)

Most of the time when people say they are a package deal, they don't wind up being a package deal.

Nonetheless, if Minnesota got these two on campus together for an official visit that would be impressive.

Exciting. Hope we make the cut!

He also retweeted a lot of Cuse & Nova fans, and a few others. Lets just hope it is a beautiful, warm day, and a lot of attractive girls are out around campus when the duo visits Minnesota!

Temple and Miami. It wouldn't surprise me if that ends up being his top 5. Minnesota, Syracuse, Villanova, Miami, and Temple.

Good! I'm looking to see if Syracuse and USC makes the cut, specifically Cuse. If either of those schools get cut, I'm liking our chances.

That can be arranged. Fire up the HAARP!

Two huge recruits, and if we really want them, why not arrange to pull out the good 'ole "Welcome to Minnesota" banner with either fans or hot girls holding it outside of the front entrance to Williams until the recruits see it when they walk in the arena? That would impress me if I were a recruit!

I hope you're right, I like our chances with that list.

Villanova is going to be tough to beat for Newton. Home school, and Jay Wright, etc. are all over him.

One big question mark though, is how is that conference going to look now? (I.e., the big east leftovers) Sure there are some good basketball schools left, but no big time universities left now with Syracuse, Louisville and Pitt gone. Is there money? Exposure? TV contracts? Overall the "new big east" borders on a mid-major conference. Hopefully that'll sway Newton. Assuming we don't get Tyus, I think this is the guy we want.

Pittsburgh has offered 2014 Team Final (PA) PG Ja'Quan Newton, while Indiana is close to offering.

We are facing some stiff competition.
 

Crap... I guess I knew this wasn't going to be easy.
 


Isaiah Whitehead completely outplayed Rashad Vaughn tonight in Vegas in the head-to-head matchup of SGs.
 


These guys are too highly rated not to be heavily recruited. Pitino is recruiting to the same school that Clem, Monson, and Tubby did. Nothing came easy for them and they all tried their best. Rich has the same competition for recruits and the same facilities. He does inherit a strong upcoming group of high school local talent and there in lies is best chance for talent upgrade.

Tubby tried his best to get two 3* guys in both his 2012 and 2013 class? I could have done that. Hell, Pitino matched it in like 4 weeks.

Talk is cheap... Tubby's first Class was top 12 hoopscoop, top 15 hoopmasters. Funny thing that IZZO's 2013 recruits are all 3 star kids maybe IZZO should add you to his staff. McNeal is actually a 2 star ESPN recruit 3 star rivals. Anyways Your post is in no way germane to what I posted
