Another disappointing day in gopher basketball. We lose out on the only legit recruit from the high school team that we took two lesser recruits. Offering Russo is stupid. Didn't we learn our lesson from offering late offers to recruits that no other program wanted like Ingram, Maverick, Otto. Tubby doesn't put in the effort in recruiting. We won't win intil we get a coaching staff that recruits hard and gets good players. We can always use excuses that we don't have the facilities or bad weather or whatever. The excuses have to stop. We need players. Two years in a row of no worthy big ten recruits and one real big ten recruit in the last four years fell to us after Stanford said that they were not intersted in him. The future of gopher basketball is bleak. We lose. lose & lose some more. Who is going to give money to a losing program to improve the facilities. It is a never ending nightmare. 9th place and 10th place finishes in the big ten the last two years. At least we keep improving. We can expect an 8th place finish next year. UGH!
Ingram's other offers were Boise State, Western Illinois, and North Dakota.
Mav's other offers were Loyola Chicago and UCSB.
Oto's other offers were Iowa State, Providence, and Green Bay.
Russo has offers from Miami, Drake, Bowling Green, and St. Bonaventure. I think his offer to Miami might still be standing (he was offered by them only several months ago). So, Russo, in general, has better offers than our other "spring recruits."
