Don't be surprised if Champaign, Ill., prep point guard Verdell Jones chooses Minnesota over Indiana and Arizona and signs a tender Monday.

Enjoy the recruiting while you can Minnesota fans. He'll get tired of doing it soon. Then you too can be stuck with projects who don't know how to put the ball in the basket!

Enjoy it now Minnesota fans. He'll quit recruiting for you around year 3. Then you too can be stuck with projects who don't know how to score! Go Tubby!

I don't know if V. Jones is going to sign or not, but we are quite pleased with the recruiting Tubby's staff has done and continues to do.

No Pressure is the way he likes it. College basketball ranks #6 or #7 in the Twin Cities so I doubt Tubby is stressing out too much. He is bringing back the excitement we felt 10 years ago when we visited the Final 4 with Clem.

Go Tubby Go. Get them signed on the dotted line.

Good job Tubby I always thought you were a man with morals and values. After hearing you get trashed by so many Big Blue fans i'm sure he feels loved were he's at (were another african-american coach has succeded before and is the most recognized and loved coach from that state). One thing Tubby has that Clem never had was a ring. Anything can happen in NCAA B-Ball.

Can someone explain why he is a "Hoosiers recruit?" Yes IU recruited him but he didn't commit to IU. The kid is from Illinois.

Btw, Minnesota over IU? Not a good choice unless you have family up there or something. Still...

Clem is the most recognized and loved coach from Minnesota?

Clem isnt that recognized and loved. Not after the cheating scandal. But I am sure there isnt any cheating going on in college athletics.

Indiana isnt too exciting a place. No lakes just tumbleweed. Unless of course if you like Basketball.

You have to have the NHL and MLB to become a major player in terms of states.

The only story in arizona is lute olson and his wife fighting on live radio about their nasty divorce......you would think it would be embarrassing when your players are telling you that you are acting like a child.
