2025 Gophers Basketball Summer Practice Thread













The “Play Hard” practice shorts are back!

Love the ode to the Clem days.
At first I thought it said "Play Ball" and I wondered if Brad Davison was around giving nut tap lessons. But, then I saw it said "Play Hard" and recognized it as a nod to Clem and the boyz.
 










Love all the videos and updates, but just wish the U would expand access to more platforms than just Twitter. Even their webpage is all links to twitter instead of the actual videos.

They don't even have a Youtube channel on just Basketball.

Just the Main Gopher Sports :

or maybe use their Instagram page:

that could be linked to threads, etc..

Or try bluesky

They absolutely need to be on YouTube. It’s accessible to everyone without having to sign up
 


Who is Number 4 that coach was talking to? Love that he is filling the kid with positive thoughts!

I investigated this way harder than I'd like to admit (as practice #s don't match roster #s).

I can say with 98% certainty it's Chansey Willis Jr.

However, if it is Nemeiah Turner (#4 on the roster), he may be a bit undersized for the BIG 10. :ROFLMAO:

I am guessing Turner is #30. I think you are right about Willis. I watched it 4 times. Love this coach!

This is the second video of a practice where a guy drives and kicks it back to a trailing guy at the 3 point line. That's how TT was using Hawkins last year with great success.

I think they might be the same video, you be the judge...

First time seeing this vid- solid looking group of guys. Team just looks bigger and (obv a biased highlight vid) more thoroughly competent than previous years. We had a jump like this a couple years ago too (think the Cam Christie year)- cool to see these jumps of obvious difference
