Another 2009 Recruit

Add Chicago C Stan Simpson to the list of players currently being recruited for 2008 by Tubby Smith and the Gophers. Simpson is the #22 ranked center in the class by Scout.com, and is given three stars.

Simpson is said to have medium interest in the Gophers, putting them on the top tier of his teams along with Arkansas, Colorado, and Indiana (who has given him an offer). Virginia has also offered Simpson, but his interest is listed as "low" there, along with DePaul, Iowa, and Iowa State.

Simpson is 6-9, 220 and hopefully the Gophers can land either him or Ralph Sampson, who is gathering more and more interest as the 14th ranked center, who has been offered by the Gophers, Georgia Tech, Cal, and UNLV, and is showing interest in Wake Forest and UCLA as well.
