-Look for the Gophers men's basketball team to offer a tender to 6-foot-10, 240-pound forward Colt Iverson, who will be a senior at Yankton (S.D.) High and was MVP of the recent Hoosiers Shootout in Indiana. Iverson, whose father, Chuck, was an NBA draft pick by Seattle in 1973, had 28 points and 16 rebounds in the Hoosiers Shootout title game.

I've thought for years that the Gophers should start recruiting kids like this, but Monson had zero clue. He decided role players in various Minnesota High Schools was the route to take to win a Big Ten title. I know both the Dakota's are in process in building up D-1 teams, but the Gophers and Minneapolis should be a better draw. Better conference, better opportunity & better recognition . Why not go through states like North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and even Wyoming and pluck the best kid or kids out of that state? All four states are relatively close to Minnesota and you'd think you could land these kids. Maybe they won't be the stars of your team, but they would fill those 3rd or 4th players adequately. Anyways, this is a good sign for times to come if Tubby keeps this up...
