Recruit Lists v2.0
- Thread starter SvrWxCy
- Start date
What's up with kostas recruitment? We were his first offer and he only has one other offer from Memphis. Kids got two older brothers that made NBA and his 3rd brother is a pro soccer player in Nigeria. Has he not impressed on AAU circuit? Just figured hed have more offers. Glad we were his first offer, hopefully a long relationship will benefit us like malou.
I feel like Kostas is either a late bloomer or a project. The good programs will keep an eye on him, and maybe throw an offer his way in the spring. Just a thought.
Agreed. I haven't seen much to indicate that we're even still recruiting him. Since the initial reports that TJ offered back in April/May, there hasn't been much on him. Sort of weird considering his length and perimeter game.

Ryan James @RyanJamesMN 4m4 minutes agoArkansas forward Eric Curry said he will make his college decision this week between Arkansas, Iowa State and Minnesota.
One of these days I want a recruit to cut his list and be like: "This is my list and if you're on the top I like you the most and if you're on the bottom I still like you but you have some work to do."
At least Romello White choosing GTech, Arlando Cook cutting us and committing soon, Amir Coffey choosing today and Eric Curry choosing this week sometime gives the staff an opportunity to move on to new recruits rather than being left hanging this spring.
Curry and Coffey both go to Minnesota. ISU gets Long and waits for a transfer and another recruit (HS or JUCO) in the spring. Cook goes to Arkansas. MARK IT DOWN!
This is my guess too.
Filling 4 of the 6 spots is a pretty good start. I want us to continue pushing the "Transfer U" thing anyway. We'll have a better idea of what our true needs are after we see guys like Carter, Ernst, Burton, Cooke in action. Plus we'll find out Monte's status.
A couple guys have said Malou is a SF, not that it really matters, but he's listed at 6'9 210. And when I watch his videos he's got a tough, violent presence around the basket that even a lot of true PF don't have around the rim. Maybe you can call him a post swingman, but I think he's going to have at least as much true post game as Niang and McKay have, on both ends of the floor.
If one guy in this class fits what our squad and style needs going forward -- I cannot imagine a better fit than Malou. He's got the size and style to play fast on offense and also play the half court with an imposing presence. Position doesn't really matter, I'm excited to have a big man with his skill set.
Amir Coffey has presser in Hopkins at 3:30. Strib this morning is mentioning Gophers, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Baylor, Arizona and Texas. Says he cancelled weekend Texas trip.
Just an interesting sidebar since it isn't us but still a midwest recruit we were in on. Good kid, good player, good HS, good family. Someone's getting a recruiting win.

ahhh I see. I probably should have figured that out. hopefully we can get a midyear or 5th yr assuming 5th is still immediately eligible. Seems we need another big and backup PG if monte leaves.
