Rivals updated their Top 150 today. Names of guys we've been in contact with that I recognized:

64. Collin Sexton
94. Darius Perry
150. McKinley Wright

All of these guys are point guards. Sexton knows Monte, which I would think helps us. Wright has been a main target of the staff. Who else am I missing?

Sexton is 59. Chuma Okeke who we just visited and have offered is 62. Terrence Lewis 112 and Goanar Mar 113 visited this season. 124 David Sloan has an offer, SG from Kentucky. Alex O'Connell 131 has been discussed in this thread. Daniel Lewis 137 same AAU team as Okeke.

I might have missed some, those are just the familiar names as I scrolled through the list.

When did Mar visit?

I can't find an exact date, may have been a football game just says fall.

[FONT=proxima_regular]“He went to Nebraska, Iowa State and Iowa in the fall,” Carroll said when asked about unofficial visits. “He’s been to a couple Big Ten games to see the Gophers. He went to the[/FONT]Illinois[FONT=proxima_regular] game and [/FONT]Rutgers[FONT=proxima_regular].”

What all do we even have for scholarships right now?

1. Burton
2. Mitrou-Long
3. Thomas
4. Cooke
5. Jackson
6. Malou
7. Weiler-Babb
8. Carter
9. Ernst
10. Long
11. Young

12. (Morris)
13. (Lard)

...and that is assuming we take Ashton off scholarship.

I guess that means either
(a) Monte is gone for sure, sad face
(b) Lard isn't happening for somebody like Kostas Antetokounmpo instead
(c) somebody (and Ernst is the obvious one above) is getting railroaded

I guess that does mean four for 2017, though, however. Big class.

Ernst is going to be a stud let the kid develop a little before you write him off. Dude is jacked and will be a valuable asset down low in the future.

Again, attrition will happen, no use guessing. So many possibilities/changes/ factors for this program before next season. Besides, this thread is about 2017 recruits, which won't affect next year's roster.

A so didn't know Sexton jumped up, I would like to get Darius Perry and Chuma and Terrance Lewis myself. That is weird about Wright thought he would be at least in top 100. I feel ISU if successful like I hope they will be will get 2-3 four star guys in 2017.

The Minny Ilini game isn't very fun to watch... Hoping the "visitors" feel the same way.

Minnesota Gopher recruit guests for Illinois game: 2017s McKinley Wright, Jericho Sims, and Goanar Mar plus signed Amir Coffey

Id love to see Amir decommit when Pitino is fired.

Doubt Pitino is getting let go yet, not sure there are any better options to take the job if he is fired at this point. The latest 3 player suspension could lead to some defectons along with a new AD could lead to a change in his RP's security soon. I want RP to stay though with the recruits in Minny ISU is targeting the next few years so Prohm can create some in roads.

I'd prefer to have Coffey look at the dumpster fire of the program, poor faciliites, loss of fan support (I live in Mpls and just had a discussion with a season ticket holder not renewing next year just yesterday) and potential of lil Pitino being fired over during his time at the U of M leading to him reopening his recruitment. Amir is a legacy local recruit and the main reason wanted to stay home so it probably isn't likely.
