Gold Rush Game - Basketball Happenings
Posted: Sun Sep 08, 2019 10:43 am
Under Huse, Fish and Binford the MSU first football game of the season, since named The Gold Rush has been a big and important recruiting opportunity for basketball. I have mentioned this in the past some of our best players made official visits during the Gold Rush weekend. I have heard this year was no no different. Binford and her coaches had 6 (yea I said 6) recruits in this week end, Leia Beattie, Lexi Deden, Sydney Stensgard, Ava Ranson, Caitlyn Limardo, & Taylor Jansen . And if any of those names sound familiar those are the players who have already committed to the Bobcats and will sign this fall. That I believe fills all Binford's available scholarships. I have talked to Huse, Fish and Tinkle and to a person they say the absolute maximum number of recruit on official visits is 3 and that is pushing it. Three prospects will run a coach ragged (the football coaches have to laugh at this). Binford though likes to have all her committed prospects in on the same weekend as a kind-of team/family building weekend. I think it is a lot easier to have more than 3 prospects in if they are all committed.
On the men's side, Sprinkle has only 2 scholarships to work with (as of right now) and I heard he brought in 1 prospect. A shooter.
