I saw Grove in high school, he had good touch, he could hit shots from15, he also hit on a number of threes! His shooting probably won’t improve a ton this season, but in the years to come, I hope he regains that confidence he once had.

He is a lot like Fox. Not as athletic, but a better feel for the game, at a much younger age!

McDonalds all Americans go blue blood 90% of the time. Other than those. Iowa: '20 #1 player X Foster, Iowa st. '21 #1 went to Marq. #2 Drake, #3 Iowa. 22' #1 Dix, Iowa. '23 #1 went to Iowa St., #2 Sandfort Iowa. '24 no ranked players. '25 #1 Jirak, Iowa. Wisconsin: '20 #1 J Johnson...

#2 Christian Wiggins is going to Iowa St. He was more highly rated than our recruit Nolen Anderson until very recently. Anderson is #101 on 247 composite, an average score from multiple sites, Wiggins is now #130. For those not up on local recruiting, Mn has not gotten any of the top 3 players...

Wow Grove was super impressive last night! I thought he was just a bench effort guy. But he has quicker feet than I realized and he plays very hard. 9 pts, 6 reb, 2 assists, 3 steals. His defense against the pick and roll, led to many turnovers and bad shots, especially in the first half...

Ann's numbers would be impressive as a Sr, but he is just a JR. Lots of players make another jump as a SR. He could vault up the top 100 boards with these numbers. Close the deal Niko.

Tomes is a very polarizing player. He puts up crazy scoring numbers on a decent Suburban team. The team needs him to score a lot, he averages 35ppg, 4.2 assists. If he was on a balanced stacked team like Tartan, Wayzata, or Maple Grove, he would probably average 18 ppg and 6 assists. He is...

He is a freshman. Chase is the younger brother of Treyton, who played for the gophers. Chase is a freshman at Clemson and was a top 100 out of high school.

I give a lot of credit for the work Grove is obviously putting in. I also am so grateful that most of our current uninjured players are playing close to their top potentials. Players like Grove know what role they play and rarely try plays beyond their abilities. I really like the coaching...

Sports Illustrated has an article on him today. A day late! lol https://www.si.com/college/minnesota/gophers-basketball/jaylen-crocker-johnson-continues-to-exceed-expectations-with-gophers

JCJ has really upped his scoring the last 3 big ten games with 20 vs Wisc., 22 at Illinois, and 26 most recently at Ohio St. He has now raised his scoring from 9.0 ppg and 4.4 reb, to 14.1 ppg and 7.1 rebounds. He is definitely one of the top centers in the league, and he is undersized and...

I think this type of player needs to play. I am not sure how much better they will get from just practice. I am hoping this will be the type of player who plays at a mid-major and if they really improve with strength and weight gain, they will consider coming to Minnesota after a couple of...

I believe his only offer is Murray St. Maybe he really improves, next year? I am sure playing with Ann, he is well known by Niko and others. He seems like a mid-major project to me.

Iverson looks like a solid mid major prospect. Many great h schoolers just don’t have the upside for power 5 conferences, be it height, quickness, athleticism. He could be a very solid player there, and be the 10% you missed on.

Nice game by Ann, being guarded by Iowa St. commit Wiggins. Some very tough drives, many turn around shots, and hits at least 1 three, scoring 21, with 7 reb. in the slight upset of Wayzata.
