Hufnagel already paying dividends?

"One intriguing wrinkle in his recruitment is the move of Harvard assistant Yanni Hufnagel to Vanderbilt. Hufnagel recruited Travis' brother, Jonah, to Harvard, and has kept the Commodores in the running for Reid.

"As soon as he went to Vanderbilt, he offered the next day," Travis said. "I'm definitely looking at them, trying to get on campus sometime in the fall.""

Reid Travis, a 6'7" power forward from Minneapolis, is the #41 recruit in the nation according to Rivals.

"Now, they see the kids are coming back and having a great experience and they’re going to get a great education ... and they're going to win. That’s as important as anything.

"High school coaches are the most informed of all the people in the recruiting process, and those guys have been unbelievable."
