Race Thompson

Looks like IU picked up a few Crystal Ball picks yesterday for Race, which I know always doesn't mean anything. I think I remember Harris getting some WSU picks after they got Brown and then like a week later they all changed to ISU when he visited.

I think those are "educated" guesses based on what they expect to happen. I'm guessing Minnesota gets the other kid and it comes down to a Big Ten school in Indiana or a Big 12 school in ISU. Playing the odds, it's relatively easy to pick him to the Big 10 school. Personally, I've always felt that he would stay in the Big 10, so I'd guess Indiana too. Hope he proves me wrong.

PF that could take Race's spot on the Gophers Roster.
@Marcus_R_Fuller #Gophers 2018 PF target Jarvis Thomas on his Twitter account (@harvisthomas) says that he will announce his decision Tuesday at Orono HS.
 
I noticed that Prohm has recently followed Jaedeon LeDees mom and dad on twitter. I wonder if he's going to be the staffs number 1 big man target now that Race is off the board.
 
The redshirt is kinda weird. You see that with kids that have academic issues like Lard but interesting that he's going to graduate HS early to sit out 2017-18

Was curious. If that is possible, why wouldn't more kids do it?

If you're 100% committed to the school it's a smart move to get into a college program to train and develop but if you want to transfer later in your career you've burned that redshirt year and will lose a season of eligibility.
 
I liked this comment on gopherhole.

"At least the Iowa State fans at Cyclone Fanatic won't get the satisfaction of landing an MN kid that for some reason they felt entitled to. Thats another MN kid that they struck out on."

Hey dumbass, him going to Indiana instead of Iowa State just means you're going to have to play against him every year.
