It's not time to be picky and given what we return he should help, but his overall fg% and the ability to defend a position in the Big 12 are arguably bigger concerns.Decent scoring, decent free throw %, decent rebounding ability for size. His only knock is an outside game. He will be baited a lot to shoot from outside, but overall, a decent piece for next years team. I wish we got a high caliber scoring guard with an outside shot but if this guy can drive the lane and free up Jackson or maybe Wiggington for open looks, I'm cool with that. Just thinking about who we have as outside shooters next year, much more limited than any year since before Fred.
Played in the same league as DeAndre Kane and averaged more his final year. = Better than DeAndre Kane.
That's just good math.
Well no duh a school is going to think he is going to end up there. If they didn't think that they could get Race they wouldn't be recruiting him.
Seems to have that 10 ft. fade away baseline jumper down.
His turnaround fade looks like it might be his signature move. He also looks willing to bulldog a little in the paint.
Updated it...
I put him as a wing. Seemed fitting.

Jackson

I think that is a team that might struggle early, but could surprise some people and come on strong at the end. Maybe even enough to push into the top half of the conference for an NCAA or NIT bid.
Not sure where you heard that we are leading on Race Thompson. Are we in the Top 5? Yes. But we are most definitely not leading.
Yeah but race isn't that type of recruit but nice try.Ummm schools recruit a lot of kids they don't have much chance with. But whatever you'd like to think, go for it.
When did I say he was? I'm confused at the angle you are taking here.Yeah but race isn't that type of recruit but nice try.

Yeah, that was me. And to my knowledge nothing has changed. My co-worker told me he would keep my updated if he heard any other rumblings from his son about Race. But who knows how in-the-loop he truly is. But as of 3 weeks ago, and a week before we went and visited him, Race was leaning towards Iowa State. But, as we have learned with recruiting, things change.A poster on here about 2 or 3 weeks back posted something along the lines of "I work with Race Thompson's best friend's dad" or "my son is best friends with Race Thompson"... something along those lines... and said that at this moment Race is leaning ISU. The poster acknowledged his father being a MN football star back in the day, but Race wanting to blaze his own trail and not automatically follow in his father's footsteps.
I don't remember the thread this was in (i'd assume 2018 recruiting), but i definitely remember reading it.
Minnesota, Marquette, Iowa State and Baylor are the Top 4 teams at this point. I would be pleasantly surprised if he ends up at any other place other than Minnesota. Dad was a college football stud at the U of M. However, Dad is not going to overly influence Race's decision. Great family and great kid. Prohm and company have been diligent but I think they will finish 2nd or 3rd. Baylor the other major player.
Sister plays Volleyball at Wisconsin, could that be what you're thinking of?Mom also did something for Marquette, too, right? Or some school in 'sconnie.
