Adam has had a busy fall taking unofficial visits to Wisconsin, Iowa, and this past weekend the University of Minnesota. Adam was on campus for the Gopher football game as well as basketball practice along with several other local talents.
“The visit went great,” Adam told NHR. “I got to watch their practice for a couple hours, which was very cool. It was nice to see the coach’s style a little more up close. Meeting the coaching staff was also nice.
“Richard Pitino is a good coach and seems like he has a good sense of humor. After we got done with the practice me and Jordan McCabe went on a tour of the main campus.”
Trapp and Pitino were guests for a longer period of time so they were able to get around the campus and see a lot while in Minneapolis.
“The academic portion of the school was great to see as academics are very important to me and important in searching for a school. Minnesota takes their academics seriously with student athletes in all programs.
“After that we had a wonderful opportunity to watch their football team play. We walked down onto the field and that is always a fun experience! Over all it was a super fun day and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to be a guest of the coaches and staff.”
Trapp also recently went to Wisconsin and Iowa. While at Iowa he received a scholarship offer.
“When I want to Iowa it was very cool to see how much the fans supported the athletic department. Also, walking with Coach Fran McCafferyover to the football game was very cool.
“Wisconsin was a very fun trip! It was great to meet Coach Bo Ryan and Coach Greg Gard and the rest of the coaching staff. Seeing my friend Alex Illikainen from Minnesota was cool plus my teammates from seeing my teammates form Playground Elite, it was good to see them again.”
Last year as a freshman Adam averaged nine points, six rebounds, and three blocks a game for a team that went 23-6, made the state tournament for the third straight year, and averaged 57 points a game grinding out opponents.
Trapp and senior Jaxson Turner hope to return the team to state for a fourth straight season.
“I am very excited for the season,” Adam said. “I’m looking forward to another great season of Esko basketball. Hopefully taking my team to the state tournament again!”
