Update story on Chloe Johnson in the Star Tribune. Nice piece on her and what's she's been up to in AAU. Not much on the recruiting part, not unexpected as she's a 2028. Wish my local Gophers or my alma mater Cyclones had a shot at her but I m thinking they don't.
This summer, the 6-foot...

Minnesotan Gianna Kneepkins also earned an invite.
Duke's Kara Lawson will be HC.
Who do you think makes the cut from this invitee roster?
Not quite Gopher WBB but Lakeville's Lauren Jensen signed a rookie contract with the Washington Mystics on Wednesday. Played at Iowa and than Creighton. Sort of a late sign with roster cuts NLT May 16.
They have landed some decently rated players and Deal for 2025 is a Top 25 recruit (and they will have some promising young posts on next season roster) but while they have gone after a lot of top rated recruits they haven't landed many. Still, their NCAA runs with Clark have certainly given...
League was a little top heavy but next year it will be "middle heavy" with a lot of teams in the top 30 or so but just outside of the 16 that will get to host. League play will still be a tough slough. Still, the Gophers should be as good as a lot of those behind the the UCLA and Maryland...
The Hilton comment made me chuckle. I was a student when we moved from the Old Armory (think Barn vintage only even more "vintage"). I hated it and the plush cushion theater seats. And, of course, now love it since it has now turned vintage itself just like me. Although I didn't get a nice...
And they have a great coach and all around good guy in Scott Drew.
My Cyclone brethren love to hate on Baylor but even the haters in that group like Drew and think he is a really good coach.
Big 12 guy's hot take. She's an okay depth piece. As pointed out, not a great shooter. Was part of the Sundell/Glenn/Glenn guard trio until she sat out (recruited over?). Not as good as her sister and her sister was sort of average+.
And that's why, as a Minneapolis Cyclone, I wanted Olivia Olson as either a Cyclone or a Gopher.
Clutch at the end there after an off shooting day. Hobbs stepped up big to make up for the two star freshman having off-shooting games.
I'm a double rival of Iowa** being a Twin Cities guy and an ISU alumni but I agree. That atmosphere was pretty awesome. That level of crowd won't be sustainable but something even around 8-9K is top ten and maybe top 5. I've heard some peeps diss it as a bandwagon ride but I disagree with...
Kinda enjoying Texas smoking Maryland by 30 in the first half. Never been a Maryland or Brenda fan (save her one year here), at all.
Texas now up by 35 in the 3rd.
