Gopher Illustrated

"Minnesota Basketball: High School Open Period Preview" Where are Niko Medved and his #Gophers staff traveling to to see high school talent? GI breaks it down 247sports.com/college/minnes…

To show how rare it is for @MHDspudFootball to have four Big Ten football commitments. The last time one MN high school sent four kids in one class to P4 football was back in 2008, when Cretin-Derham Hall had Michael Floyd (ND), Joe Schafer (WI), Shady Salamon (MN), and John Nance (MN). 2020 Minnehaha Academy would have had Kaden Johnson (WI), Craig McDonald (IA State), Terry Lockett (MI State), but Jalen Suggs chose basketball (which I'd say worked out really well for him). I can't find a time when four in-state kids from the same HS were all Gophers in the same class. Cool situation.

Why did @Zakwalker_22 elect to take his #Gophers offer on Wednesday? The Moorhead Spud dives into his decision below. "The culture and atmosphere of Minnesota is incredible." 247sports.com/college/minnes…
