Gophers get Nathen Garth; somewhere Dan Monson wonders "who?"

Who says Tubby Smith can't recruit? The new Gophers coach made a splash yesterday by getting his first commitment from a recruit by nabbing point guard Nathen Garth out of Dallas, Texas. A Gopher basketball coach recruiting and scoring in Texas?

Garth explained why he chose Smith and the Gophers this way, ""He has players in the NBA, overseas," Garth said. "His résumé is incredible. He wins. I really like to win and I'll do whatever it takes as a point guard. If that means score, then score. If that means assists, assists. If that means play defense, defense. I'm willing to do whatever it takes."

Yep -- that sounds about right to me.

Ski-U-Mah my friends, Ski-U-Mah.
