I had forgot about Palmer! His skillset was a need, an athletic defender who can still hit from 3.

247 has him ranked as the #110 ranked player of '28, number 16 point guard, and he doesn't have a gopher offer? It only shows Arizona St. and Wisconsin. It angers me that Wisconsin has a much better program than us. How are they offering top 150 Mn players before we are?

Wisconsin just offered '28 guard Kevin Wilson leading scorer for a very good Tartan team. I have not heard if he has a gophers offer.

Ann is a player I really wanted the gophers to get. He had a career high of 47 pts against Eden Prarie, no pushover, as a jr. 6-5 185 with wide shoulders, athleticism, and length. He would have been a nice replacement for what Palmer will provide in the open court and on defense, with an...

It’s hurts, he is a great athlete. Wisconsin success is what we hope to build, hopefully soon!

Other than OT Daniels and maybe Safety Bryson, they all needed to move to smaller schools to see the field. Those that didn't move down, mostly didn't get to play.

NCAA talk, a team can be a lock, considered likely to make it, has a shot, unlikely, and dream on. I think the gophers are somewhere between unlikely and "it has a shot".

I watched a few clips of Nur during these camps. He played the 4/5 for Hopkins, and the guards shot a lot. He is showing big time SF skills at 6-9 at these camps. He can handle it, hit from 3, and drive from 3 to the rim. He is rising fast and Kentucky has offered. Possibly the next...

Doesn’t it seem like he should have been offered a long time ago

Ahmed Nur just earned MVP of the NBPA top 100 camp. I am not sure what chance the gophers had previously, but I can see some blue bloods offering now.

Again, you like the offensive potential as better. I agree. We lost our most athletic and best defender, that is my additional observation. IF you add better shooters, but less strong, athletic players, you give up defense. This is a trade. It is the one thing Niko wasn't able to add. It...

First - Shooting. We had some good shooters, but not nearly enough. Reynolds playing 35+ minutes per game killed the offense. I loved what he brought in terms of toughness, strength, and defensive prowess, but man, it hurt the offense's flow when the defense could collapse the lane. With the...

Anyone else feel we were a much better running team with the RPO as a staple? I fully expect a good to very good defense. I expect an improved passing game. But if we can't improve on 103 rushing yard per game, 3.6 average, the offense won't be that improved.

He seems like someone who would benefit more from going to a mid-major and playing, and if he improves, then move up to major division 1. I see him sitting for at least a couple of years if he comes to Minnesota as a freshman.

We basically traded Koi and his NIL $ for some top level mid major DT's, and DE Bush. We were super thin at DT, and we have some Safety options to replace Koi.
