Eliason leads team to state
While the Gophers are facing a disappointing season, there are signs of hope; the main one (aside from a big sale on an Epson receipt printer for the Gophers’ ticket office) is that one of their big-man recruits for next season is looking like a hot prospect.
The 6-11 Elliot Eliason recently lead his high school team back to the state championship in his home state of Nebraska. The big boy had 27 points and 12 boards in the game that sent his team back to the state tourney. Eliason is showing huge signs of improvement over last season and although he runs into virtually no one his size most of the season – and that won’t be true once he reaches the Gophers next fall – there’s every reason to expect that he’ll make an impact when he lands, despite playing behind Colton Iverson and Ralph Sampson III.
