20 Minnesotans the Gophers are watching
Eight big names
Ben Carlson 6-9 PF East Ridge: One of the state's top rebounders, Carlson has most of the Big Ten after him, but Stanford is trying hard to lure him.
Steven Crowl 6-11 C Eastview: Relatively unknown nationally before a breakout spring as a highly-skilled big man for D1 Minnesota's AAU program.
Dain Dainja 6-9 PF Park Center: His father, Dana Jackson, played for the Gophers, but Dainja decided last month to take his powerful post game to Baylor.
Dawson Garcia 6-11 PF Prior Lake: Garcia's three-point range and mobility for his height has blue bloods looking at Minnesota again, one class after Duke signed Matthew Hurt.
Gabe Madsen 6-6 SG Rochester Mayo: Flashy scorer exploded for 53 points and 12 threes in a game last season. He recently picked up a Gopher offer.
Mason Madsen 6-3 PG Rochester Mayo: His twin brother, Gabe, has bigger offers, but Mason's steady play might make some high majors offer them both.
Jalen Suggs 6-4 PG Minnehaha Academy: Two-sport standout and one of the state's best athletes ever is leaning toward deciding in August to possibly stick with college hoops.
