Both consensus Top 50 recruits, a lot of competition there.

If we beat out Kentucky for either one of those guys I'll poop my pants.

He's retweeted every Minnesota fan and media member who's mentioned him on twitter! If you tweet him he'll retweet it. It's kind of fun to follow.

Ok, twitter aside though, it seems as though there is legitimate interest from both parties.

I'm not getting my hopes up for Trier. He obviously likes Minnesota but this has the feeling of another Newton or Whitehead situation. I'll get optimistic if we actually get him on campus for an official.

Not trying to jinx anything, but Trier has more interest in us than you'd think!

Actually reminds me of Eli Thomas, who gave the Gophers a lot of early love but excluded them from his Top 10. But we can hope this one turns out differently. Richard is bound to land a top-100 kid eventually.

You just keep your mouth shut when it comes to recruiting. You Guy Fuks and Tommy Flanders are all jinx's when it comes to big time recruits coming here after you predict them.

And save the whole "its a moving target, young kids change their minds and I'm just trying to help I'll keep my info to myself" bs... Been there, done that... You're all worse than weather men... I hope Carlos Morris shoots a better percentage from 3 than the 3 of you do on predicting recruits destinations.....

After all that said, you got any inside info on Trier??? I'm dying to hear it! :cool02:

Post of the month...and we're well into the month.

Cayman · Apr 28, 2014

Has anyone heard anything new about Jalen Adams recently? He's a top 50 point guard from out east, holds offers from Kansas and national champion UConn, so it seems he'd be pretty tough to get, and I don't think I've seen him mentioned in this thread in quite awhile. Is either side still showing interest? Do any of you guys who seem to have inside information, Tommy Flanagan or GameDay, know anything?

You're better off watching John Edward channeling dead relatives. "I'm getting an image of the Letter M. Does that mean anything to anyone? I'm also seeing the number five. Anyone? A woman is saying don't worry about the money . . . and she adds that there will be a recruiting development in the future."

Oh. I'm sure sad now. Your opinions are important to me.

Tom Izzo is one of the few rival coaches I like, but It's going to be really hard for me to continue liking him if he steals Jarvis from us.

Brevin Pritzl would be pretty good addition to this club if your looking for a good shooter, his stock is blowing up right now. His shooting ability transfers to the high-major level. Has good size, a high and quick release in which he needs very little space to get it off. Here are his highlights from this past weekend.

I'll be surprised if he ends up anywhere but Wisconsin.

Trier just picked up offers from Louisville and the national champs UCONN tonight. Pitino can really, really make a splash if he lands this guy

I'm a big critic of Amelia, but I will definitely give her props for those Manyang updates. Hopefully we see more stuff like this from her!

BleedGopher · Apr 30, 2014

I'm really happy that we're getting aggressive with our recruitment with Manyang. I was really impressed the couple of games I've seen him and the recent video of him was even better. I'd love to get him.

Go Gophers!!

Ryan tweeted that he heard Minnesota was showing increased interest in both Pritzl and Matt Heldt (6'10" big from Neenah, WI). Pritzl will likely have a UW offer relatively soon. If that happens, I would expect that he'll commit to UW pretty quickly. Heldt has improved a lot over the past year, and I know UW is interested, but he's a backup plan behind three other 2015 bigs. If they miss on at least two of them, I could see Matt getting a Badger offer. Marquette's new staff watched Matt over the weekend, and liked him enough to offer when he visited Milwaukee on Tuesday. I would expect both of these guys to stay in the state of Wisconsin at the next level.

MadtownGopher · Apr 30, 2014

Appreciate the insight as always UWOle. Despite your allegiance to Bucky, I still have you among my 3 favorite posters on GH. Love hearing about the local (WI/MN) kids coming up.
