3.9 blocks per game was probably top 5 in the country, and maybe 1st or 2nd for power schools! It's not been done in the big ten too often I would imagine.

As someone else has pointed out, had NIL been available back then, maybe we get Oturu for another year.

Oturu's Soph stats 20 ppg, 11.3 reb, 1 ass, 2.5 blks. 56%FG Pryzbilla's short soph year 14.2ppg, 8.4 reb, 2.4 ass, 3.9 bls. 61%FG Stats aren't everything, but Oturu was the better scorer and rebounder, Pryzbilla the better shotblocker and suprisingly a better passer. One thing I...

I forgot about Rickert. I’d add him to my bench and drop Lynch. Garcia and Rickert are very similar players. Humphries left a bad taste in my mouth. He isn’t on my team.

My starting guards would be Nate Mason and Andre Hollins. My forwards are Amir Coffey and T. Mbakwe My center is Daniel Oturu. My high scoring bench is: M. Carr fire plug, shot taker D. Garcia, smooth scorer D. Johnson for defense. J. Murphy to rebound. V. Griers all round game. Sr year Peyton...

That 04-05 team, talk about over-achievers! Vincent Grier could really take over a game on offense. This team really locked you down on defense. "Vincent and the nobody's!" tribute to Kansas.

Had an ok career, but he underachieved. 49th ranked overall recruit and 9th best SF. SF at 6-7 makes sense, I remember hearing about him being a SG? In those days, there was a difference in size and skill between SG and SF. SG were your best shooters and scorers, and most were 6-3 to 6-5...

Durkin has a similar build and game to Jamison Battle.

Rodney averaged 4.3 ppg as a freshmen. He went 4.3, 6.8, 12.2, then 10.1. I didnt see him in high school, and I don't know his recruiting ranking, but I would get sick of commentators falling over themselves about his dunks. He had plenty to work on to become a solid player (ball handling...

For some perspective and appreciation. Taylor has 1785 yards through 2 seasons, if you double that to 3,570, he would pass M. Barber for 6th all time. Double his 15 rushing TD's to 30 and he would pass Rodney Smith for 7th. The gophers haven't thrown to their RB's much in the past, so his...

Early Creed, the first album was definitely hard rock/metal (Torn, My own Prison) with just a few ballads (One, What's this Life for). I saw Nickelback early on when you heard there heavier songs on modern rock stations too. Then Creed, on the second and third albums, there were tons of...

2009-2010 Team, the parts were better than the team. It had wing scorers Westbrook and Hoffarber and D joseph, center's Sampson and Colt, and Freshmen Rodney W., Cobbs, Nolen, and it had super defender Damian Johnson who became better than I expected. 10 solid players but the team was an enigma...

I agree that the difference is Iowa usually has the better offensive and defensive lines. We might have better skill players certain years.

If Brosmer had another season, I'd say 9-3. One of the easiest schedules I have seen. Ohio St., Oregon, and at Iowa as losses. Starting a redshirt freshman it's really hard to say. I love the pass first offense when warranted. I also think nothing helps a new young QB, then a solid running...

While I am also worried about the WR's, I feel the emergence of TE Jameson Geers hasnt gotten enough mention. The 6-6 250lb Sr to be had a very nice season. As a soph he only had 2 receptions for 10 yards. Last year he broke out for 28 catches for 290 yards, and 4 Td's! The second most...
