I would be absolutely shocked if there wasn’t a departure or another something to happen in 2 years to open a scholarship. It’s college athletics, things are ever changing.
My question now goes on what this means for Amaya Battle. Do you think they continue to offer her or will they be done recruiting?
The Gophers have told Amaya and Mara (before she committed) that they have room for both. Not sure what that means in terms of current roster or people transferring. With 3 commits (Heyer, Holloway, and Braun) it's unknown what others they are continuing to look at but here is the list of who had known Gopher offers. These ones have not publicly put out a list or removed Gophers or have Gophers pulled the offer from them to my knowledge.
