Amir Coffey 2016 Offered

[GGGG]

Trolls only worry about being ignored.

I don't think HoopsterBC is a troll.

I think BCHoopster forgot his password.

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?

While I agree with you, Sultan, that it is a great recruiting class (at least appears to be), the hyperbole I s a little stout by saying one of the best in our history. These guys have not yet played a real game. It does look promising, though.

From Rivals after his Official to Minnesota.....

"Amir has one other visit scheduled right now, and that visit is with Texas," his father said. "Not this weekend but the following weekend. I think after that visit, I think there is a strong chance that Amir will make a decision. Very soon."

[4everwarriors]

Next man up, ai na?

He gowne.

Yes.

And Mark Miller just predicted 2016 forward Lamar Stevens to Marquette.

[brewcity77]

Yes.

And Mark Miller just predicted 2016 forward Lamar Stevens to Marquette.

The upside, as good as Coffey is, Stevens fits our needs better. That said, I'd really like both of them here.

Ahh, the battle of the Norwood Teague proteges.  If it's not Marquette, I gotta pull for Pitino...

[PGsHeroes32]

Shame, I really wanted Coffey.

But Stevens isn't chopped liver or a pity pick up.

I'd love to get him

[Herman Cain]

My instinct is that Coffee wants to be part of a Power 5 type program. I thought for a long time he was waiting for a UNC to materialize. I think this Texas offer will be as close as he will get.

Just as an aside, I saw this article relating to Michigan State recruiting. This is what we are up against. In some respects it makes me respect the job Wojo is doing  even more.

Eh ... Wojo so cooled on Coffey anyway.

For some, that will be a home run pitch.  For others, that want to be at a school where basketball is king, it won't.  Different strokes for different folks.

Agree. Henry went to MSU event and then promptly signed with us. I think Caleb Swanigan went To this event and then committed to MSU later, although he ultimately de committed .

Looking like a near done deal to minny

Agreed.  This would be a much bigger loss for Pitino than for Wojo.  Richard Coffey was a key player in the glory years for Minnesota basketball and you would have to think that would be a strong pull for Amir.  Of course there are always kids like Wes Matthews that want to go a different way.

I'm not aware of many recruiting wins for little Rick.  Is Coffey going to have much talent around him?

Got a lot of freshman on this years team. A few of them are potentially really good players as well as Mason who was a freshman last year.

The whole size part of the roster is project material but they could be solid next year for Coffey with much more PT and hometown to offer.

Some of you are ridiculous.

It's a message board. Where you report things.

Good lord.

I think that's Jay Bees way of reporting that it's not a done deal to minny. Not actually criticizing you for posting

I said "near" done deal though. It's just every time a message board is used for reporting its either "respect the process" or let it play out in some variation.

Between comments/tweets from Richard and Amir canceling his only other official as well as what the experts are predicting/reporting...it appears to be NEAR done he picks the gophers.

Was simply updating on how things are looking.

Pitino can't comment on Amir's recruitment & Texas just canned their AD, a'inal?

Before commenting further it might be best to familiarize yourself with the first name of Amir's father a legendary gopher himself...a'inal??

Gotcha. A former stud at the U is fond of his alma mater - is that news, a'inal?

Real Q is whether there is anything from UNC

Humm... any word yet on who has made Mrs. Smart's list of candidates for AD?
