Uhmm, instead of a cupcake you might get an early commit......
Like the aforementioned Treyton Thompson.
But if you never take the shot...
From last summer:
So as Tschetter had major recruiting helium last year, along came additional offers - Northern Iowa, Colorado State, Wyoming, Loyola and recently Arkansas among them. Tschetter has since risen in prospect rankings, Rivals having him at #2 in Minnesota’s class of ‘21.Ryan James

One of the hottest 2021 names in Minnesota Will Tschetter is putting on a good show in front of about 30 D1 coaches including offered NDSU, UNI and Milwaukee. Two threes, three aggressive rim finishes
@MN_BCA
Would have been nice if the Gophers had recognized this earlier and been the 1st Big 10, just mho. Do you prefer Minnesota follow in offering in-state standouts? Or take the lead?
As I mentioned above, they have not done that great lately with in-state recruits.
IIRC Tschetter went off for 33 ppg before the season ended.
As it looks now, Pitino had to react to what Nebraska and Michigan were doing. Will be interested to read more of Tschetter’s story as the recruiting info comes out.
Having rambled on about all that, if you want to bring insight as to why he should not have been offered, great - would be interested in reading it. Perhaps Thompson and Tschetter would not match well in the same lineup??? Waiting on Chet Holmgren? Or whatever reason?
Minnesota also wasn't the first big school to offer Thompson though.... Just because you get an early verbal commitment with an early offer doesn't really mean much I also certainly hope Minnesota isn't competing against NDSU for recruits in college basketball though, if that is the case they are in deep trouble.
A local player getting recruiting attention:
In addition to the Northern State offer, Jacksen Moni has an offer from University of MaryJody Norstedt

Iowa offers in Minnesota now include Andrew Morgan of Waseca and Will Tschetter of Stewartville, also G Eli King of Caledonia. Andrew Morgan is a 6’ 8” PF that NDSU gave an early offer. Iowa is Morgan’s 1st P6 offer, also has SDSU and Appalachian State offers.

after a quick google search, i’m not seeing anything that would explain his recruitment offers/timeline from 2018/2019 to now.
the depaul offer came almost two years ago BUT the offer was reaffirmed this past friday.
