Tartan.

Earn your money, EC.

Get Sonnen and Kwadzo on the phone too.

looks like we've offered Idaho State decommit Antwan Kimmons from St Paul, MN. 6'0 PG

Ryan James (prep hoops analyst) had high praise:

He's a Tartan grad, I would be stunned if he didn't end up in purple. The tartan high connections run DEEP in CF.

[MNpanthers]

Not sure on the rules but is it possible we were already in contact with this kid? Reading about this connection to Tartan makes it seem like Coach Jake probably knew all about him already. He and the head coach are good friends from UND.

He decommits from Idaho State and gets an offer from us within 24 hours.

Here's a refresher read if, like me, you were unaware of the Tartan connection:

The Idaho State bball coach is out so not really unusual to have a recruit de-commit.

Tim Finke, who we recruited the first time around, is transferring from Grand Canyon.

6-6 Athletic Wing. Doesn't solve the ballhandler problem but is certainly a guy that would contribute immediately. Very good chance he gets a 'closer to home' waiver. He's from Champaign, IL.

Already wears purple, knows about winning in McLeod ...

He's a former 4 star recruit with a bunch of high major offers that only got 4ppg and 16 min/game playing in an awful conference.

Not surprised he wants out for that reason, but how much of that can be contributed to him just being a dud of a recruit?

GCU had a bunch older guys and transfers. Just kind of got lost.

Was probably overrated out of high school because his brother was a HM recruit. Also battled injuries for two years in HS.

His older brother was one of them, a grad transfer from Illinois.

Its fascinating to watch you go from calling people idiots and constantly putting people down to becoming the moral authority of panther nation.

Part of me thinks you're just a troll account at this point

I’ve been here since 2004. You since 15. Try again. And you only highlight a post from months ago but ignore everyone else. Again, I talk about UNI athletics while you and others choose to personally attack me. Why is that allowed. Nevermind, I think I know the answer to that one. There are a significant number of old posters that no longer come on here because it’s turned into woodstock. Funny how strikingly different the culture is on the football board by comparison. It’s just the opposite there

[Mudrafan]

What personal attack? And it takes a minute to read the article and see the reason for him leaving. If you chose not to read an article on the subject you're commenting on, that's on you, not me.

The snide “fits your talking points” remark. As for croft leaving, one, the whole truth may or may not come out in an article and secondly, part of it was me being a smartass although anyone associated with uni hoops knows green will be the 35 mpg pg the next three yrs and dominate the offense. We sink or swim with him so get on board or get out.

[Mudrafan]

A lot of people tweeting that they want Minnesota to go after him (I assume since he's from Minnesota), although that seems like a stretch considering his prior offers and the way their roster shaping up. I'd like a guy with experience to come in, but this kid looks like he can play. Very quick and athletic.

Would certainly think Minnesota would want a bigger version, more physical guard

[Mudrafan]

If we want a PG who's tough and quick and can get to the rack....we found him.

Throw in great passer and on ball defender and that’s exactly what we need. It would improve two guard positions immensely

[UNIGrainer]

Go get him. Bout time we won one of these big recruiting battles. This one sure seems to have a lot of advantages for the Panthers and a solid young PG would really hit the spot. Go do it Jake & Co.

Agreed, he is a little undersized. Build wise this guy kinda reminds me of Darrell Brown from Bradley.
