Stella Lockhart, 6'1" F/P ('26) from Holmdel, NJ also appears to have a Gopher offer. She is not in the ESPN top 100, but is ranked # 54 by 247 Sports, and #61 by ON3. She has visited Providence and intends to take officials to Wake Forest, Minnesota and Cal, and possibly North Carolina...

That's a lot of statues. 19 Gopher players are in the College Football Hall of Fame.

Injury to McGill? Anyone know the story? "USA Basketball announced . . . that Maddyn Greenway has been added to the 2025 USA Basketball Women’s U19 National Team roster. . . . Greenway, who will graduate from Providence Academy in 2026, will make her USA Basketball competitive debut. . . ...

An interesting week: Kansas, USF, Harvard/Alabama. I'm guessing that Kansas will be the toughest of this group. Kansas returns their key people, and USF and Alabama do not. Kansas also has 2 top 30 or so freshman.

Michigan got a commitment yesterday from a ‘26 shooting guard, which perhaps is good news for Minnesota re Kussow. Duke still seems to be in play for Kussow, but Iowa and Kussow seem to have moved on from each other (but can’t tell side which side moved on).

The golf programs have operating revenue? $380k for the men, $245k for the women? What is that money for? Where does it come from? Some BTN all sports allocation?

I think you’re on to something. With Wisconsin in a tough spot, and Iowa fading (perhaps slowly) with an aging Ferentz, it’s time to pass by both of those programs. If I have my facts right, 1989 is the last time that Minnesota finished with a better conference record than both Wisconsin and Iowa.

This one. The link says: “Hmm...this page doesn’t exist. Try searching for something else.”

Is the deleted tweet reporting the OSU offer or something else?

Think maybe the Gophers owe Drake a game. After not playing Drake for 15 years, the Gophers played Drake in 2020, 2021 and 2023, twice in Minneapolis, and once in Des Moines.

Braun not selected for team, but still a great experience, especially coming off an injury. Don't know if there was a first cut, or if they just went from 21 to 12 players.

Coach P has her dream job, and is making a ton of money. Don’t think there is much risk of her going anywhere. Glad she is here.

A big improvement from the multi-team events last year in Tempe and New Orleans. A good first step, but looking for similar big improvement in the home and hopefully road portions of the non-conference schedule.

Assume that 3-4 of the 6'3" players will make the team. Kamilla Cardoso is playing for Brazil, leaving the Chicago Sky to do so, and Damiris Dantas is also on the Brazil roster, but haven't seen it confirmed that she is playing. The USA lost last time to Brazil and Cardoso. Would think USA...

Oldest player in the BIG? 2019 HS graduate, correct?
