All Things Ben Carlson Recruitment Thread (Class of 2020) UPDATED: Commits to UW

Max Murrell to Stanford. Might affect Carlson's recruitment there a bit.

There is always some degree of effect. Still would be shocked if it was Minnesota.
 






This is a huge bummer. Not sure the Gophs have a chance at kids with this combination of size and skill if Wisconsin is in the mix. You can't beat the way the Badgers have coached and developed these types of players...or how much more they win games, for that matter. We're still a long ways off from being on the same level as that program.

Go Gophers!!
 




A comment on the Strib article asks what the attraction is for uw over Minnesota. Idk, maybe going to a better program...
 


Bucky sure does love them some white Minnesota boys.

Bucky loves Minnesota kids that win large in the Big 10, no matter the pigmentation. This is a very good get for UW. They loved Gard and were convinced they would win big there.
 

per STrib:

One day after Wisconsin landed a commitment from a Minnesota big man in Eastview’s 6-10 Steven Crowl, another top Minnesota recruit followed suit. East Ridge’s Ben Carlson, a 6-9 power forward, announced on Twitter Wednesday his intent to play college basketball for the Badgers.

Carlson is a four-star recruit who is ranked by 247Sports as the No. 4 senior prospect in Minnesota and No. 82 in the nation.

Carlson chose Wisconsin over Iowa State, Purdue, Stanford, Xavier and the Gophers.

When Carlson and Crowl join the Badgers, they will become the sixth and seventh Minnesotans on the roster. The others are Brad Davison, Nathan Reuvers, Walt McGrory, Joe Hedstrom and Tyler Wahl.

Built your contacts were right on this one. You kept saying to not forget about Wiskey. Carlson is a good fit and get for Wiskey. We will get our good fits and gets for MN. Nothing wrong either way. The fact that we even got semi back into the good graces of the family was pretty impressive.

Ok, I'll bite. How in the world did we miss out on Walt McGory? Who is Walt McGory?

I though he had another dream school he was waiting for?

He did, offer never came. They did not have one open in the 2020 class until September but needed to fill that with a dynamic 2-3 and are in the running for several especially if they hold it for 2021 where they will land a great one at that spot. It was timing and position. Ends up that it was always a 4 school race unless he received that offer.
