So many big time recruits, future NBA players. Suggs is going to be a star, Holmgren too maybe. Sierra has two legend kids, Wade & James.

78-58 Minnehaha wins. It was 34-34 at the half. Holmgren 1 point away from a triple-double. Suggs took over and they dominated.

I dont even know if Wade did, he's just a bit player. James was ok, but he's just a freshman.

Their two big names are BJ Boston and Zaire Williams.

I know he's headed to Michigan State, but I wonder what the story with Terry Lockett is. He left for a year to go to prep school for football, and came back to Minnehaha for his senior year. And, in the process, he's now getting a whopping 7 minutes? This kid was a starter as a freshman and a sophomore, and was a legit starter, at that.

Lockett was probably most affected by Master P moving to town, but as a big time football recruit, it probably doesnt bother him too much.

What is sad about it is they hyped on who was on the visiting team, and yes i get that, it is marketing.
But the MN kids crushed them.

Of course they'd hype the visiting team. If it was just some random team from Wisconsin, or even just CDH or Hopkins, there's no need to move it to Target Center. It got moved because there was interest in a phenomenal Minnehaha team against one of the best prep teams in the country. Now Boston and Williams are MUCH more important than James and Wade's kids on that team, but the name recognition adds to the hype.

It was tied at half. Williams played terribly. Had he played like the top 10 kid he's been ranked as the game is different.

Agreed. I was disappointed when I saw that Bronny was only a freshman, and not even a starter (I didn't know anything about him, other than little cmd talking about him). Williams being on that team wouldn't have registered a blip on the radar, for most Minnehaha fans, I'd bet. I didn't know about Wade having a kid on that team, either.

I watched it on my phone, while I was sitting at the Mayo Civic center watching basketball. It was a pretty competitive game in the first half, and part of the second. The blowout came late.

That's what disappointing about basketball at the college and pro level at this state. If we had good programs, this state would embrace basketball like crazy, we saw it when KG was here, we saw it with the women's program with Whelan and McCarville. Those moments have just been way too far and few between unfortunately.

Right. The Timberwolves did sell out quite a bit of games while Butler was here but they were also near the top in the west standings before he got hurt that first season.

Gophers hoops sold out some games towards the end of the 16-17 season when they were near the top in the big ten standings as well. Tons of great basketball talent in this state and lots of fans who are thirsty for success. My gripe is... LOWER THE TICKET COSTS WHEN YOU ARE NOT FILLING YOUR ARENA. Look what the Twins did last spring.
