    Amari Allen plans official visit with the Gophers on Aug. 29

    This kid really has great potential and a high ceiling. The staff has been on him early and with serious passion. May I challenge those that insist on "tearing down" to create a new site. A site to tear others apart and is most interested in being negative. Think about it - you would all have...

    Dick Vitale announces he has vocal chord cancer

    Very well put by the majority - it doesn't matter if you appreciate his voice or enthusiasm regarding college basketball. He truly is a high quality supporter of young people. For someone watching his wife battle stage 4 Kidney Cancer - you know the grueling days a person goes through simply for...

    Summer Practice -- Day 1

    Regardless of the activity whether in the Arts and Performance, Clubs, or Athletics - you will find incredibly high participation levels in small schools.. The bottom line is small schools can't afford specialization, that literally shuts a program down in our smaller schools.

    CBJ to be targeted by UCONN???!!!!

    Those that constantly take cheap shots and spend 90-100% ripping everyone has mostly destroyed any integrity that some well thought out contributors have shared on Gopherhole.

    Ken Evans Jr. campaign thread!

    I agree with - "In the end it's on the coach to build a roster" which now goes hand-in-hand with administration providing the financial resources.

    Ken Evans Jr. campaign thread!

    As far as I can tell way back in the early Portal stage maybe Ryan James mentioned that we reached out to him - but no visit was ever really discussed. There has been very little chatter regarding him and certainly nothing coming from him/his camp. I did see that someone through out that FAU is...

    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

    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...

    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")...
