Re: Minnesota Gophers 2018-2019
This is a stretch. I know most of these girls of the so called 5'8" and above... On tippy toes maybe. Scobee... yea right. But rounding up is in all sports.
Also, Maybe the U should stop the practice of grabbing kids when there just out of diapers. But I suppose the 8th grader that just committed is pretty old for their standards, changing their practice, probably not... This is why the goalie situation is in constant flux. They wouldn't have to go and steel a goalie that is average at best, from a conference that wasn't very strong, for a stop gap to make up for their recruiting mistakes. By the way, what very young goalie got cut this year from the USA program they recruited? Again, recruiting goalies to young is not a good thing for anyone. They just haven't learned that yet. With near a half a dozen on the roster, you would think they wouldn't have to keep looking... The U is why the NCAA (and rightly so) are changing the recruiting policies in the near future. The U is using different avenues to circumvent the rules. (Local summer feeder programs for year around recruiting regardless of age and rules ) They really never stop talking to any recruit, even during the no communication periods. Its interesting to mention, even with all these "gray" area violations over these past few years. They still dont have much to show for it. This year could be different however. They are fielding a pretty strong team thanks to Os and HP network of very close friends. Calling a spade a spade is all.
