I'm sure his brother being on the team doesn't hurt but I don't picture UCONN as a team that burns scholarships on guys that can't play out of sentimental value. Historically the Gophers always offered the crappy older brother hoping the younger star brother would follow. Seeing UCONN and...

Um, did Ben have a sneaky good recruiting class coming in?

I love the Gophers and enjoyed watching the players on those lists. However, the lack of NBA talent in 25 years is depressing.

Whichever punter can do better than 34 yards hoping for no return and a roll. Australian style can be great when it works but if it is a good returner and they run up to catch or field before the roll it is terrible. Good to see there are some options this season.

Ben Johnson won the lottery. Go invest a couple million in the s&p 500 and live of the yearly interest of six figures for life.

Safety: Koi Perich, Minnesota The Golden Gophers lost one of college football’s best safeties in Tyler Nubin and immediately found another in Perich. The true freshman’s five interceptions this past season trailed only Xavier Watts among FBS safeties, while his 88.9 PFF grade was seventh. He was...

Looks like he was a walk on at Gonzaga. Definitely needs to put on some weight. Gonzaga site says 190. Definitely can't teach 6'10" though so if he can be developed go for it.

Interesting approach threatening a team that is interested in giving you a scholarship and money. UCLA in the college playoff just because they add him. LMAO. That kid sure thinks highly of himself. Even if he is the next big thing he's not taking that team to the playoff alone. They need a ton...

I don't disagree that they need to figure out the eligibility limits and fast but if a kid can make six or seven figures to pretend to go to school for a year why not. Working 9-5 for the next forty years sucks for most. If you can jump start early retirement or at least pay cash for a house...

All I know is I wouldn't want to be the one evaluating and trying to get the right players. At this point Groves ability appears to be somewhere between mid major and P4 on a better team than the Gophers. Time will tell what end of the spectrum he lands on. I do doubt he dropped out of the Ivy...

There is nothing preventing a coach from offering and recruiting a kid that is verbally committed somewhere. Giving someone like Groves the opportunity to play at a higher level, and make some money, may be something he was waiting for. Taking an educated guess that is probably what restarted...

Sounds like the name of a law firm in a comedy.

With this guy being so reckless it makes you question if anything ever happened at Minnesota and was kept under wraps.

Very true on everyone missing. It just makes you want to yell some expletives every time some lower star recruit in our own backyard slips out and blows up because we get hung up on higher rated ones.

Heck yeah. Now get a little depth at C/PF and let's play.
