Is he a sophomore now? Or going to be a junior? Either way, he's going to be a stud. Sooner or later he'll stop growing, then his body can catch up a little bit and that will only help more.

Junior for the 19-20 school year.

Ryan James was talking about Will Tschetter from Stewartville being a possible target. Little cmd and I are sitting at their game against PEM, in Rochester right now, next to Dave Thorson and Ben Jacobson.

Thorson is making it a priority to sneak guys out of Minnesota before the power 5 offers come rolling in. Roddy/Jennissen so far and I'm sure he'll be after more.

If St Thomas gets the D1 call, they'll be doing the same thing.

That's what I figured. He seems like a guy that would be a good fit on the staff at the U, just because of the local connection.

I'm not sure what to think about Tschetter. 6'8", good shooter, but it was hard to get a feel from watching them play on Saturday. Was a plodding game, and I don't think it really was a situation that showcased him. I wish I would've ran in to Waseca when they played there. He had 45 points, but I've heard that Morgan didn't play. I haven't been able to get confirmation on that, from any of my connections down here.

Morgan did play. I think Morgan and Tschetter will both be power 5 conference players.... based on what Ryan James says. I haven't seen either play.

Also -- the potential issue the Gophers have is they only have two juniors and already one commit. Will be interesting to see how they use scholarships going forward.

I've seen Morgan, but that it was a couple years ago when they played our school, and then on TV last year. I thought he really stood out when I was able to see him, and honestly, I think that was a good sign, when you figure he was kind of the second fiddle to Malik Willingham.

Sitting at the Waseca-Caledonia game right now. Morgan has 10-12 points in the first half. Looks good, but not necessarily dominating. Tschetter played earlier, and put up 39 against Jordan. Looked extremely good. Tschetter did pick up a Colorado State offer, too.

Would be fine with the Gophers offering both and seeing if one will bite right away.

Depth chart for 2021-2022 assuming Oturu leaves after this year or next and Curry grabs a sixth year.


Curry/Omersa/Freeman
Thompson/Mitchell
Williams
Kalscheur/Mashburn JR
Carr/Greenlee

In addition to:
-Open spot for Oturu leaving.
-Unfilled 2020 scholarship right now -- hopefully Kerwin Walton?
-Payton Willis' scholarship for graduating.

I think Thompson is versatile enough (maybe as a 3/4 combo forward) so you could play him next to Tschetter if he's a true 4 eventually. I have a hard time thinking Curry will stay fully healthy going forward but no idea if he'd stick around for those years. They'll clearly need frontcourt help though since Tre is a guard basically too.

I think Tscetter would be a 4. He has a nice 3-point shot, but can still bang down low. I will say, though, I'm not real sure about his quickness, because he hasn't really had to show it, when I've watched him. Too much of a mismatch in his favor, and hasn't had to try to run with anyone. I believe he's Stewartville's QB, though, in the fall. That would suggest the speed and quickness should be there, to some extent.

Went to Minnehaha-Waseca game on Saturday. I thought Morgan looked better, overall, against Holmgren (what a stud!), then he did against Caledonia, which didn't have anyone that could physically match up with him, yet seemed to keep him kind of quiet. Saw some nice moves out of Morgan, and some decent touch on his mid-range shots.

Also, I don't believe he's on the U's short list, so this doesn't necessarily pertain to them, but I wasn't all that impressed with Hercy Miller. Maybe it was just an off night, but I just don't see it. I also wonder what kind of circus is around that program, with Master P being there. I sat in front of Chet Holmgren's dad, and visited with him a bit. Very nice to me and little cmd. However, some dude came up wanting an interview for some highlight video, that Master P is producing. Holmgren seemed very far less than impressed, and made no bones about being very short and rude towards the guy.

It’d be awfully nice if Pitino could land Walton in 2020 and then grab Tschetter to pair with Thompson in 2021.

Tschetter should get an offer... more likely some other team in the big ten offers him and Gophs miss again.

He's projected to be the a late first rounder. I can't see his stock rising much above that with another year in school. Why would he come back?

I could see his stock rising... but if he's a first rounder he should leave, 100%. My assumption is he will go through the draft process and get told by a lot of teams they'd look at him in the second round. We'll see though.

The Athletic and one other mock I saw had him around 28. He'd need to be a better 3 point thread to move up, IMO. I don't know if he has the footwork for that. He's been so damn fun to watch tho.

Every year is a whatabout year for Pitino, what if Coffey had stayed, what if Carr had been allowed to play last year ... every damn year he's one or two what-if's from having a top tier Big 10 program.

That, and it would be nice if he could run an offense.

Pitino is an alarming 3 for 22 on getting Minnesota kids to stay home, from this year's HS senior class on back to his first year here.

In 7 years he's recruited more than that.... Coffey, Johnson, Omersa, Kalscheur, Oturu, Hurt off the top of my head. Now the last few years, he only has three and hasn't landed any Minnesota kids since Ben Johnson left. Treyton Thompson was the first to potentially change that but he's only a verbal commit for now.

Good point. That's the number that Ryan James threw out. I'll have go back and listen to that podcast and see if he mentioned the years on that.

Gophers are talking to Tschetter. Tschetter also had a virtual tour today with Arkansas.


They should offer him.
