Though I think the favorites are pretty much known guess McKinley wants to make it official.

@gophersMarcus #Gophers 2017 PG target McKinley Wright, who ended solid AAU season with D1MN, said he'll narrow his list to top 5 in the next week or two.

Any guesses what it will be?

If he goes to Minny we should just give up on Minnesota


Agreed. We should land him. Minny is a dumpster fire, Dayton is solid, but we should not be losing recruits to them.

I'm pretty sure his top 3 is ISU, Dayton and Minny, so you have to like our chances.

How many top 100 commits will it take to make you realize that how good a team is, especially when it comes to MN, doesn't mean **** to most recruits?

A lot of top players lave Minny. We love Campbell because he will recruit anybody but want Prohm to quit Minnesota if this kid goes to the U. It all makes so much sense.

I get what you're saying, but then what is the point of wasting time recruiting McKinley Wright and Jericho Sims?

It sounds like you're making the case for abandoning recruiting that state.

My point is that it's never going to get easier than it is now for MN players.

Not sure if this has been leaked yet, but a source EXTREMELY close to the program tells me that Colin Sexton will be at the UNI football game.
If this is true then it is a great thing for ISU. First football game of the year, people will be going insane for it, and we have a chance to win. Could paint us in a great light as far as fans, for Colin. I hope we can at least get him on campus to show him what we got. I've always been a fan of Monte being close with him, even if he doesn't try and persuade him to come to ISU, it has to help a little if anything.

Watched Wright and Sims play Simms. Wright is really good defensively and a really smooth player. Really like him after watching him. Sims is uber athletic and has a huge upside. Also want him after watching him play. Simms is a more physical guy than Sims and has a more polished interior game but overall I would be happy if ISU landed any of these kids.

That'd be huge. I don't think he comes here but getting him on campus and the attention that will bring will be big for the program plus it maybe with other recruits
