    NO, read the 2011 Recruits thread about Wuebker.

      Yep...clarification was given there after I posed the possibility on this thread and that one. I was just throwing out another possible option.

        I didn't know the young man's name but I can definitely confirm he is a big scrapper.

        Would love to see a big bruiser underneath. I'm talking a build like AC but at 6'8"+. Of course, what team wouldn't?

          A "project" recruit that has turned out pretty well is Center James Granstra from Western Illinois.

          SDSU was in the hunt during his recruiting, if I remember right we offered him. He is 6'10" 245 out of Heron Lake, MN.

          This year he is averaging 6.5pts, 5.4 reb, 2.9 blocks, and is shooting 56%. He is the man in the middle for WIU's defensive minded game plan.

            I think we offered but he had eligibility issues. I thought he ended up going the JUCO route. Good for James.

              I don't remember anything about eligibility issues with Granstra. He is a Junior in his third year at WIU, so if he did go to a JUCO, he didn't play.

              I think we just lost this recruiting battle, in part due to being understaffed at the time, and the fact that we haven't had a ton of success at recruiting in MN for the most part for Men's basketball. Nate Wolters was a HUGE get for us in that regard.

                I don't remember any eligibility issues, and James went to WIU straight from high school. I think this was just a recruit we lost out on. Coach Molinari was the Gophers interim coach after Monson and before Tubby, and a Monson assistant coach. I think Molinari had the Minnesota connections.

                  Thanks for the clarification on James. I was too lazy to look into it myself last night and did not mean to infer anything about this young man. I should not have posted anything without the facts. Negative rep points for me.

                      How crazy talented are these two kids we are bringing in? 6'9" kids are not suppose to play point guard and shooting guard, no matter what size of school they go to.

                        That's exactly what I was thinking reading those two stories. Our coaching staff is doing an outstanding job in recruiting. I can't wait until all these guys (including Horstmann) join Wolters, White, and Fiegen on the court.
                        Holy nutmeg!

                            Not to mention Rader, who is a RsF... a 6'7" G/F shooting 47% from the field and 44% from downtown. Granted the sample size isn't very large yet, but he could be pretty good down the road too.

                              I have to agree. Radar sure seems to have a knack for scoring the limited time he's been in there this year. He's a tall, lanky body that seems to be very comfortable anywhere on the floor. I have a feel he will get plenty of minutes next year and beyond.

                                I don't think there is too much concern about his offense. Who does he defend? Is he big enough to defend the post? Is he quick enough to defend on the perimeter? He is too great a liability on defense? (rhetorical)
