Amir Coffey 2016 Offered

[PGsHeroes32]

From what Hayward'sHeroes says, if MU recruits Amir as a wing, we won't get him.  And I suspect that Wojo is honest upfront about how he's going to use a player.

Woah. I never said once that we won't get him if it's as a wing.

I said that him and his dad were looking for a PG opportunity. I said many times that they may realize that chance just isn't there.

And alas there is talk that Coffey now sees himself as a 2/3 in college.

Never once said he ain't coming if he can't play point

Shaka Smart and Texas offered Coffey tonight.

I was extrapolating from what you said and evidently ended up putting words into your mouth that you did not intend.  I apologize.

Ahh it's cool!!

Yeah it's looking like as many have said PG isn't going to be realistic for him.

I just hope regardless he ends up here. Huge get.

Good article.

Should note that the author only mentioned a few teams outside of the gophers(a couple not even in Amir's top right now)

And Amir himself said nothing about any teams.

All about him, his dad and the families work ethic.

Is he Jewish?

I cannot help thinking he is a smaller version of Henry in that he can play all over. How Wojo utilizes Henry may help recruit him, if he sees Henry as a one and done.

Versatile, sure, but quite different players. (And they were teammates in 15U for D1 Minnesota fka Minnesota Pump N Run.)

I project Amir as a much lower usage guy than Henry. Want to see Amir's usage rise more than he's been at, but don't see it ever being to a Henry level (28%+ is possible as a frosh)... Amir.. 18-24% year 1

Still a long way's out, I know. That being said. How are you currently feeling about our chances, JayBee?

SMU offers 2016 Hopkins (MN) wing Amir Coffey, he announces.

[brandx]

SMU will certainly pay Amir more than anywhere else.

And if the young man chooses SMU with everything that's being implied with Coach Brown you would have to call it 'dodging a bullet' and not 'a miss'.

**btw - i don't follow HS kids but judging from this thread he seems to be a good kid and could resist the urges of the dark side.

It sure seems on CBS Sports that Amir is likely going to Minny.  Wojo is striking out a tad right now, is it the school or program, or Wojo having trouble closing?

Really?

[bilsu]

There is a lot of young talent on our team, which will make it hard to recruit a player that expects to start right away.

He just had his official visit with Minny, hence all the coverage. He may end up there but I wouldn't say this is a #donedeal

We have to be able to fill a good squad of 13 players.  We can't go into every year with 10 guys.

Andrew Rowsey and Sam Hauser make #11 and #12 next year, so Wojo can be pretty selective for the one scholarship. 

Really seems like he's focused on Lamar Stevens and possibly Coffey and if neither sign with MU, the staff can find someone in the spring like they did with Traci Carter, Sacar Anim and Rowsey.  Love how this staff has really zeroed in on just a few recruits and hasn't reached to this point.

Worry much?

It is a challenge to recruit when there isn't obvious playing time available.     Assuming Henry comes back for a second season, with Rowsey and Hauser in the fold, the only visible 'need' is a 4th big.   So, IMO, sit back, chillax, and look for MU to sign a big of some sort in the spring.

Are you seriously asking if the guy who just pulled in one of the best recruiting classes in the history of the program is having "a problem closing" because a kid from Minneapolis took an official visit to his hometown school?

Same guy who said Wojo is doing a disservice to Luke and his NBA dreams by utilizing him in the post with his back to the basket.
