    Can staying in the draft

    Greatly appreciate real examples. To me Cam's decision makes the best sense for him.

    Cam.....what will he do

    Where he is getting drafted makes very little sense "basketball" wise to play come back and play in College. There is literally no better training and skill development along with strength training outside the NBA.

    MAC head coach: Come play for me, we'll get you to the Big Ten in two years

    Pretty smart approach and awareness of his program.

    Minnesota native Lu’Cye Patterson commits to the Gophers

    Ken Evans Jr. is a major contributor for any team. He can flat out play and score. Him coming to the Gophers would make us a very formidable squad. Which if healthy- we compete at the top of the Big and indeed earn a spot in the Tournament. I also believe he will raise the level of play for not...

    Has College Basketball Turned into a Boring sport?

    In the late 80s-mid 90s I was a varsity basketball coach and during that time varsity coaches received (2) complimentary tickets to every regular season home game. You knew about the players, most of the coaching staff, even knew the Polish Eagle. I still support the Gopher program and players...

    Gopher Potential Portal Pursuits

    This may be a foolish question but when does a Commitment become "set in stone" I suppose it would be once the agreement is signed? If having the players signature is "binding" for that season - when is that official dat? Thanks

    Gopher Potential Portal Pursuits

    lol There is not a kid in this Crazy NIL environment that wants to be player 10,11,12. They are convinced they are "better than that and deserve big $$$.

    Christie watch

    Perfectly said! Back when the annual exits started - I personally felt that Parker Fox, Dawson Garcia, and Cam Christie were the most mature and trusted to take them at their word. Mind you - all three of these young men have completely different circumstances while navigating through things...

    In case I miss it...will somebody be so kind as to bring it to my attention :)

    Caleb Williams in the portal.

    The bottom line is if we have an available scholarship (which I'm pretty sure we do) then use one on this kid. He is not replacing any departed starting player or any returning or possible returning players. I will tell you that if the kid scores 41 points against you in (any form of a "game")...

    Are we done with signings?

    Go after Tyler Burton from Richmond! Jenkins has relationship started from being an assistant there.

    What happened to this board?

    I am right with you! I have been following the Gopher Hole for many years and not too long ago decided to become a "member." To me, it has become a microcosm of our society. I have to work much harder at finding insightful posts as many just fixate on the obvious struggles, or worse yet, the...

    Visit with Howard transfer G Elijah Hawkins

    I am very confident that - he has heard such praise as you are giving him, his entire life. As for him not being a stud - I would agree, which still makes him a potential nice addition with the rest of our Star Studded Cast. I will take a kid with those numbers and has played his whole life...

    Visit with Howard transfer G Elijah Hawkins

    Like may kids before - he certainly would be a very solid addition. Turnovers - still always amount to a missed position. However, the type of turnover(s) for me is important. Like I said - I 100% realize the end result is the same. Is it a selfish forced turnover, terrible decision maker...

    This roster is not bad

    I appreciate the lenses you are using to view this team. Also, I certainly agree with "there are still a lot of players that can help out there." Thanks

    Reality

    I couldn't agree more. If any portal kid actually read through many of the comments, even the two that committed- they may easily be led to ask themselves one question... is this what I want to be surrounded by?
