Nathen Garth

Remember this guy? Wasn't he the first kid to commit to Tubby at Minnesota before the staff (Vince Taylor?) cooled on him? He's off to a pretty nice start for Alford at New Mexico. ... 6 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 5.7 apg with a 1.89-1 assist to turnover ratio.

His intention was to enroll last winter at UM and thus be eligible to play much of last year. He had a terrible AAU tournament in front of Gopher coaches shortly after giving verbal commitment to Mn. The Gophers decided that Al Nolan would get them though 07/08 and wanted the scholarship for bigger fish. At the time I believe that scholarship was intended for Verdel Jones whom the coaches decided was better.
