Geno Crandall

I'm going gophers.

Geno's 4th of July insta photo he's with a large crew; right next to Jelly and Jarvis. Dupree is in the photo. Nate (I'm pretty sure). Buggs too, surprised he is still around.

Go Gophers!!
 

I'm going gophers.

Good sign.

Would think that he wouldn't still be hanging around those guys if he knew he was going to Gonzaga. At least I'd like to think that.
 

dang that photo is real promising. I would say he’s coming here if he’s chilling with the team on the 4th of July.. this is amazing
 



I'm hopeful that he's coming here, but I don't think him hanging out with his friends on the 4th really means a whole lot.
 

is that Nate Mason on the right, covering his eyes?
 





I think it means something.

I like our chances, but if he hypothetically chose Gonzaga, I don't think he would lock himself in a room and hide from society on the 4th. He would be with friends/family regardless.

His announcement couldn't come soon enough.

I would think Geno would still have a lot of friends that aren't current and former gophers that he could hang out with if he wanted to. With the exception of Jarvis and maybe Amir, aren't most of these guys new to Crandall this summer like Mason, Buggs, Dupree and Isaiah? We've never heard about him hanging out with the team like this in previous summers or school breaks.

In other words, I don't think he all of a sudden became best friends with these guys that he didn't know before in one summer just to go to a different team.

Who knows though.

I get the basketball community is tight, and that everyone knows each other, but if his go-to friend group to hang out with (let's face it, on the 4th you hang out with your best group of friends) is Dupree and Jarvis and Nate, I would think that Minnesota would have a huge advantage, to the point that Xavier or Gonzaga would have to blow Geno away for him to commit....

I know it's one photo, and for all we know maybe Geno was with other people and happened to come across Dupree and friends, but if Geno is that close with those guys, to the point he considers them good friends, I'd think he would want to come here. It's not like our basketball is in a different tier than Xavier or Gonzaga. If anything, we will be a sure-fire top 25 team if Geno commits.

By my calculus, friends+top25=commit

And another thing: Geno is from Minneapolis. He probably knows hundreds of people who still live in the city. If he chose to spend it with those guys, I would think that is good news for us...

Counterargument to this whole post: Buggs is also in the picture, so obviously Dupree and Jarvis and Nate are cool with guys who don't play for the Gophers. So maybe you're right, basketball allegiance might not be a priority
 

It is Thursday. Do we have a time this is supposed to go down? I have been an IW skeptic and think he needs more time than most of you guys. I think Geno at the 1 and 2 for us this year would be huge. Don't need to rush IW, his time is coming.

I asked Marcus on twitter and he said he doesn't know what time Geno is announcing.
 

The tag line is so obvious... keep the family close....

I would bet Geno has known Mason and Dupree for about 3-4 years now. Same with Buggs. He's obviously known Jarvis. With the pro-am and just being in Minneapolis over the summer, they would surely have crossed paths. Were they tight enough to kick it like in the photo from yesterday? That's probably the question to ask.

Yeah, thats more what I meant.

I saw the green coloring in the image and immediately got bummed out, thinking he had gone to Michigan State or something lol
 




Can he just please commit soon so I can get back to enjoying my vacation. Sure would like to stop checking for a commitment every 15 minutes.
