Playing nerf hoops when I was a kid while listening to Ray Christiansen call gopher games in the mid/late 80’s got me hooked. The sweet 16 and elite 8 runs cemented my allegiance and the Gophers have been my favorite team college or pro ever since. When I went to the U for college I worked at...
So he’s listed as a shooting guard but other places indicate he may be more of a COMBO GUARD. No worries. If he comes here, no clue if this is at all likely, we’ll find out. See attached link:
Combo guard?
I heard Pitino say in an interview somewhere that they couldn’t start working on Both’s waiver until he was on campus which just happened recently. Robbins has been here for a while so that one was submitted first.
When a black player is told that his parents are "well spoken and organized" it expresses that this is somehow not the norm and the coach may have been surprised by this. The coach would most likely never think to say this to a white players parents. This is an example of a microaggression...
Willie Burton and the Gophers sweet 16 and elite 8 performances were really what got me hooked. However, if we are talking about one player not on the Gophers I'd have to say Rumeal Robinson with Michigan. The Michigan vs Seton Hall championship game is one that I'll never forget.

Loved watching El-Amin play. Probably best I've seen to this day. Not only the best player but leader too and so clutch.
Watching Roosevelt in the early 90's was fun with John Thomas, BeBop Walker (Nebraska Omaha), and Robert Mestas (Miami, Ohio)...
Doogie Tweet
Doogie tweeted about 10 minutes ago that the other gopher forum is reporting that the Gophers are getting a commitment from a player who decommited from another BCS school. I'm assuming this is for football but not sure because I'm not paying for the other site. (loyal GH...
I could use some reasons for optimism this season. What things do I need to look for to see development of our your players? Do we have any players on the roster now who will be very good to great in 2+ years? Any recruits that I should be excited about? I know Kill has had his health issues...
On the most recent episode of "The Journey" Blake was reminicing about sitting in the upper deck with his dad watching games as a kid and imagining himself out on the court as well. This was a classic piece about the Barn that gave me goose bumps thinking about my identical memories. I used to...
As a South High grad, I enjoy following Minneapolis City Conference basketball. I was wondering if anyone can tell me about Darius Hill from Henry. He's a 6' 2" sophomore gaurd and is leading the conference in points at over 20 per game. Any relation to Tayler and P.J. Hill and is he...
