Good offensive player, and excels on the defensive end. He unfortunately got hurt late in the season and missed the Summit League tournament. He would make the Gophers a better team.
That's not a very high bar. :) Seriously, I've seen Plitzuweit in person a few times and quite a bit more on TV, and the one thing you know you're going to get from him is effort. He plays hard every second he is on the court.
Zero points in the final 9 minutes. The second semi-final going on now between UAB and Utah Valley State is a very entertaining up and down the floor game.

I guess I noticed more that he didn't have quite the burst taking in to the basket . Lateral quickness is tougher to measure for me. Didn't notice anyone taking advantage of him defensively, but defense never was his greatest strength. He could provide an offensive spark off the bench, and...
He moves fine, he just doesn't have the burst he had pre-injury. Still a very good shooter. Before the injury he was on pace to eventually be a contender for POY in the Summit. He was good enough to be a starter at a lot of P6 schools.
He would definitely be an upgrade over what the Gophers ran off the bench this season. His leg injury was similiar to Teddy Bridgewater's. He immediately was rushed to Sioux Falls over fears that he could lose the leg. He doesn't have the explosion that he had pre-injury, but still shoots 40 +...
I would give it a solid B+ with the potential to go higher. I have watched her from across the floor for too many years and know that she can coach. The question for any mid-major coach, which she is only a year removed from, is if they can recruit at the next level. I would have said the same...
For the past few days on this site, a poster has been reporting who had been contacted, who had done initial interviews and who were still in the running for the job. Either someone has totally been blowing smoke up our asses, or there is a leak connected with the athletic dept/university.
