Sacar Anim

Guys....this is awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EcjxtQXHsQ

Well at least someone posting on YouTube seems to think he's coming here.

That said, way too early to say he's one of the best recruiters out there. Buzz landed a great class with three top-100 players as a rookie HC, seems like a new coach often brings a lot of energy that can translate to recruiting wins. The question is if they can maintain that. Will Wojo back up 2015 with strong years in 2016 and 2017? Will we see another McDonald's All American in Wojo's first 5 years or will be we waiting another 30 or so years like we did between Trotter and Ellenson?

Agree with this.  I am optimistic that Wojo has the ability to attract great players to MU, but there's no way to know for sure when the guy has been on the job for less than a year.

A great 2015 class - reason for optimism.
Another great class in 2016 - start anticipating future trips to the Dance.
Another great class in 2017 - save $$$ for Final Four trip.
Another great class in 2018 - pray that K coaches until he's 100.

Well he didn't get Akoy Agau who made an official visit.  I still think while the initial results are positive, he has to string together good classes.  We will see if he can do that.

Agree with the stringing together of two classes. We should know much, much more about Wojo by the end of next season. His first class is good (but has dropped to 12 with the loss of NN). Adding Anim should help. But we need a good class next year also, to start really getting back to prominence.

For those who recall the Reid Travis announcement at De... remember that?

Don't really follow Minnesota hoops, what's the story behind that?  Was Stanford a surprise?

Looking forward to the official news this afternoon.  

Hopefully we'll have 1 down, 3 to go.

edit:  ah crap, forgot about NN.

[GoldenWarrior11]

Huh?  Did I miss someone else transferring out?  We've got 3 available for next year, so getting Sacar would leave 2.

That's what I thought...  I just took the word of other scoopers as fact!

Nope, I was wrong (and should really update the scholarship table).  Nick being released leaves us 4. We had 1 available, Burton and Dawson left, Nick was released from his NLI.

To some. Not me.

This isn't a similar case though... Whew!

I don't know what we'd do without ya here, Beej.

Look for Marquette to continue recruiting players from DeLaSalle, including sophomore Goanar Mar (6-6) and frosh Gabe Kalscheur (6-3).

Really like the get 4 Marquette in Sacar Anim. High end scorer with good feel for the game. Should be a fun, versatile backcourt w/Cheatham

Sacar Anim is one of the top candidates for Mr. Basketball in Minnesota. The athletic and skilled 6-3 wing player in averaging 24.0 ppg.

[Schmidtyfactor]

Great get. He was impressing many as of late.

[wadesworld]

Awesome.  Let's get a grad transfer or JUCO PG that can start from day 1 and I'm happy with where we're at.

[GoldenWarrior11]

I'm still amazed that Pitino and Minnesota didn't even offer.  The kid has a ton of potential.

Marquette is getting a long, athletic slashing wing that's a great on-ball defender in @Sacar_Anim15. Nice addition for #mubb.

[geagles10]

Any explanation?  Do we have any clue why not?

I don't know how many spots they have left, but the Gophers already signed 4 players for this year, including 2 PGs and a SG.
