Reid Travis picks Stanford

Ouch! The Minnesota Gophers and new coach Richard Pitino were never given much of a chance to recruit the Big Three 2014s of Tyus Jones, Rashad Vaughn and Reid Travis. But rumors swirled--in fact, we were guaranteed by one source--that Travis would pick Minnesota when he announced his decision today.

That made it all the tougher to hear that Travis will be going to Stanford. He liked their academics or some stoopid thing like that.

There is little or no chance that Jones or Vaughn will pick the Gophers.
