Keep two? We have who we have unless they decide to transfer. Anyway - it seems like we have forgotten that we had the number 1 or 2 recruiting class last year and will again next year. We want those players to stay. I'm not in favor of getting transfers unless there is some exceptional senior that wants another year. Malcontents are risky and Minnesota has good chemistry and great talent. I probably don't understand fully exactly how the scholarship process works. If a player commits and is offered a scholarship, can that be revoked? Or is the only way to accommodate a transfer to have players already on the team enter the portal (or quit, I suppose)? Or else players are just walk-ons, like PSU seems to have like 20.

Or they all stay and Minnesota finds a way to win with the players who chose Minnesota and the fans stop acting like the cupboard is bare. Minnesota has 4 nice recruits coming in. They have a roster of top recruits. They are doing alright.

Is Hanson a UA all American? I couldn’t find the final list.

All of a sudden she's 6'1". Excellent, the extra 2" will come in handy. FWIW I grew an inch my Jr/Sr years in HS and I was 5'4"; graduated 5'5".

Yeah I'm all for her being taller than previous reports of 5'10" or 5'11". And I understand it's possible to grow past the age of 14. I'm just a bit skeptical about it being true. You're right it would be helpful if she were in fact a couple inches taller. That coupled with the fact that she can leap out of the gym makes it more realistic that she'd be able to contend in the B1G. I picture an Alyssa Goehner situation otherwise. I feel like Hugh recruited her for her front row prowess. Can anyone verify Hanson's height with any level of accuracy?

I always notice that they have to explain that she doesnt like basketball. I dont think ive ever seen them say the reverse for a basketball player. Just something that bugs me and isn’t necessary

She's what I like to call a "volleyball 6'1" " so in truth she's much closer to 5'11" than 6'1". She legit touches around 10'4" so I don't see her struggling too much to adjust to the college game but time will tell. She was at the USA NTDP camp this past summer and wasn't eclipsed by anyone.

All of a sudden she's 6'1". When I was in HS and playing basketball, we had our heights measured. I measured at 5'11". Coach said "no, you are at least as tall as so and so and he's 6'." So, into the program I went as 6'0" tall. When regions came arounds, I was listed as 6'1". We had a pretty good team and there was a newspaper article about the team and it was mentioned that I was 6'2". Season ended and I went back to 5'11". Funny thing, I was able to wear the same sized jeans all thru that time.

She's in good company, being added to that list.

I didn’t slot Hanson as ever getting much playing time at Minnesota (being that she’s 5’11 and will play behind Wenaas/Landfair/Wucherer), but if she really has grown and has as good of “hops” as people say, she could definitely challenge for playing time.
Crowl/Glenn might end up being the odd one out. But there are certainly ways they can contribute as well.
