    Big Ten Basketball: 5 early breakout candidates for 2024-25 season (Kadyn Betts, Minnesota)

    A Classic example of a developmental player. A rare thing in today’s CB. Thus far it’s been two years of obscurity and barely a glimpse of his potential. Betts is sticking with Ben which is a good sign and good choice by Betts. He would be on a remote island if he decided to transfer out. Maybe...

    Does it pay to recruit high school kids?

    Your guys are unbelievable. Ben applied for the Gopher job and was hired. What's so difficult to understand about that?

    Minnesota native Lu’Cye Patterson commits to the Gophers

    My dream as well. At this time. It appears that Evan’s has not committed. There were some posts about Syracuse interest about two weeks ago. Maybe we will be surprised after Christy spills the beans!

    Minnesota native Lu’Cye Patterson commits to the Gophers

    Who's keeping score? Ryan does his homework. What I enjoy most is his in depth analysis after watching video and then offers his insight on new recruits to his readers. In the past few days, he did a comprehensive analysis on 2025 recruits and 5 man Trey Edmonds on his strengths and weakness...

    Friday Night Games

    I learned two things 40 years ago. Arrive early and stay late. Get off the freeways and find a much easier route to your parking spot.

    Friday Night Games

    At one time the BIG did not schedule Friday night games as they did not want to conflict with high school games.

    All Things 2023-2024 Minnesota Timberwolves In-Season Thread

    I watched the last two minutes and that was enough for me. The two turnovers were like really???? Bad decisions. And the no basket by KAT was clearly the wrong call.

    Friday Night Games

    I remember Loyd Carr whining and complaining about having to play the #17 ranked Gophers on Friday night, Oct 10, 2003. A bunch of hookie about student athletes missing a day of classes, screwing up the weekly schedule, etc. Don't remember him saying anything about that BS after the legendary...

    All Things Gophers 2024-25 Schedule Updates

    FWIW, FDU also played the Illini and Seton Hall last season. The BIG is grueling and very demanding and has been for a long time. This is how BIG teams and others schedule. But we all know Ben took the easy road last year. Looks as if he will notch it up a bit.

    Will we improve defensively? What makes for good defense?

    Good job Eker! Two things I can add are quick feet and hands especially with perimeter D. Decades ago these two skills really helped me as an undersized defender. Helped keep me maintain good position and be a pest, especially for marginal ball handlers. Once you pick their pocket, they often...

    Emanuel Karmo Commits to Gophers!!!!!

    Kids like this usually won’t de-committ as they would lose their guaranteed spot. Then they look around to find a “better” place and then drop their spot like a hot potato. Didn’t Pj used to drop kids who pulled a Karmo.

    Cam Christie is entering the Transfer Portal

    Ben could use him off the bench as a designated Gunner when we are behind. Instant offense! Then put the vaunted Death Squad back in.
