And Deonte Roberts, and Zach Filzen!
I will say, however, that I thought that Matt Janning and Noah Dahlmann would be good. I have to say that with Noah Dahlmann outweighing brother Isaiah by probably 50 pounds, maybe more, and being a very skilled player, that Noah would not only do well but possibly be better than Isaiah. I just can’t believe that somebody “bigger” than Wofford didn’t take a shot at Noah. If he stays at Wofford for four years he will be an all-time great at that level. There’s no question at all in my mind that he could contribute for the Gophers if they could get him to come back home.
And watch out for Janning’s little sister Marissa who is now just an 8th grader at Watertown-Mayer and already a starter and their leading scorer. Hope the Gophers are aware of the genes she’s got going for her.
Thanks for the info, Alan. Great stuff.
