Her 19 points made her leading scorer in the Championship game. She came in after the SC starters faced a quick 10-0 deficit. Played 25 minutes, defense and floor game were awesome. You could make a strong case for MVP of national championship game. What a miss for us. She missed junior year...

I suppose so.... And think of how much money the schools could get from a cut of gambling revenues. Is there betting on who is going to enter the portal, and where individual portal players are going to enroll. I might have taken a bet that Payne was going to stay. Or Carrington. Ben treated...

In the old days, we all started to be really worried when the salary of football coaches started to exceed the salary of the university president at many prestigious institutions. Now of course all head football coaches at Power Five level are paid more than that, often by a factor of 5 or...

All the parents were wrong. As usual. (I hope that was the intended meaning of your comment).

His other offers were from Appalachian State and from IOWA. He was in Class of 2021 and played with Malik Gillingham (Class of 2019) and his younger brother Kyreese Willingham (same Class of 2021). Malik and Kyreese are current key players on Mankato D2 Elite 8 entrant. Malik might have...

The Hawkins stat I like is that he is third on team in rebounds at 3.7 per game , ahead of Cam, JOJ, Fox, Ihnen, Mitchell, Carrington (huge minutes play a role but still pretty impressive). Also has 1.7 steals per game with Mitchell at 1.4. Those two were both highly needed.

He has long arms. More important for basketball and making fish look big - than for quarterback play.

I don't get it - where is Caitlin Clark on the list? I can buy a ticket to her sold out game at Williams for a few hundred dollars.

He is a good prospect for college basketball (not sure what level), but he is ELITE at baseball. (edit: I meant Noah Issac's brother with my comments about baseball.) Isaiah is Issac's cousin (as discussed below) and is a basketball prospect but only a freshman so that will play out. Pretty...

At the least that heals well and quickly is almost never a long term injury. Nothing like a Lisfranc injury (like Chet Holmgren had) which can keep a basketball player out for a year and sometimes has some permanent sequelae. I was worried about that so it is nice to hear it was a 5th metatarsal...

When Parker Fox showed up we knew we would have him for TWO seasons. This from Gopher Hole at the time but it was widely reported that way. Newly appointed Gophers head coach Ben Johnson continues to build his first roster; this time adding a commitment from Division two All-American Parker...

Our O line did not look elite at all times. Some of his issues were due to early pressure. On the other hand he also had some poor throws on those times when he got to sit in pocket.

Remember last year when everyone was complaining that Ben could only play 5 players and did not know how to manage the roster and distribute minutes effectively. A year and deeper talent has changed that perception. 14/15 is not random. "Minnesota continues to show its depth winning the...

Seriously, it does make you appreciate Ben a little more. What he is trying to do is a lot different than that.

Nice, the sophomore class was her recruiting class and their loyalty to the program has a lot to do with her. Even players who knew that a coaching change was necessary appreciated her effort and commitment and their freshman year experience. None of the players ever threw her under the bus.
