Just got back from the MN state tournament basketball game. Champlin Park won on a last second shot. The team was down by about 14 with less than 15 minutes to go. McKinley Wright brought CP back pretty much by himself. I hope we didn't make a mistake by pulling his offer. He had 30 points and about 10 rebounds while guarding the other team's best player that is 3 or 4 inches taller than him. I'm not complaining about who we signed but he does so much on the court.

He is no doubt a very good player, and I think Dayton got a real steal in him. I think we made the right choice, obviously, in Lindell, but I think we will see that McKinley had a really solid career at the mid-major level. Best of luck to him as he seems to be a pretty sharp kid as well.
I wish we could have gotten both, but McNeil is a great prospect too. Impossible to know how guys will turn out.
Yeah, and I think with us kinda taking a step back from him when he seemed basically ready to sign with us, shows that he and Lindell would have played a similar role here. Or at least the staff saw them that way, I assume. But I agree, it's impossible to know how a player will develop, grow, mature, excel in his college years.
Guess we just gotta trust the guys we pay da big bucks to make the right choices!
the wait to find out who we get this spring is killing me. I don't want this 6 year run of tournaments to end and who we get this spring is going to impact our chances of making into the dance next year.
Think McNeil has a bigger upside as well do to his athleticism.
He is a little taller, more athletic and probably a better shooter but watching that game, you just see that Wright does so much. Well, Dayton seems to have gotten a pretty good one. I am a bit biased as he is from my kid's high school and, although my daughter doesn't know him, some of her friends say he really is a nice kid.
Small on the trail.

Juiston is a beast. Can really pass for a power forward as well. He has 28 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists with 4 minutes left.
Please fly down there as soon as possible and MAKE THAT MAN VERBALLY COMMIT, CPS!
Watching the Hutchinson CC game and wow is Juiston good! He would be an immediate starter and would be an impact player next year. We need to lock him up. Glad Willy Smalls is in attendance
My only nitpick on Julston was that he didn't really appear to play all that hard at times. Jogged down the court a few times but still dominated when he wanted and the team needed it. Would be a really good recruit. Not so sure about that guard going to Wichita State. He was more of a ball hog and air balled a couple threes.
If he's going to ISU, probably at the end of his season. If he goes to Kansas, he could commit his next crime at any time.
It was still a MUCH better game than the ugly Indian Hills vs Monroe game yesterday. Some JUCO players play very hard, ie McKay and the whole Hills team when the pressing coach was here.
Final stats...
Their next game is tomorrow night at 6:00 PM vs. Gillette (WY) or Odessa (TX)

I wouldn't worry about that. Most of what I've read is that Juiston's motor is one of his best qualities as a player.
