I have never really been all that invested in college basketball as a whole beyond what is happening with the Gophers. I think all the BS going on right now with unrestricted free agency and pay for play is ridiculous but I will still follow the Gophers and root for the team to do well in spite...

Almost sounds like you are anointing Drake as the starter ;) If the kid wants to for sure start then yeah, I don't see us having any interest. If he is willing to go somewhere and potentially be the backup then it might make some sense.

Not really the NCAA's fault. Every time they try and challenge any of this they end up losing so their hands are tied and the stupidity expands to another level.

The portal itself is fine and a good concept. Where it really got screwed up was when they made every player an unrestricted free agent every year with free transfers and immediate eligibility. Then the money aspect got thrown on top of that to add an additional layer of insanity to the entire...

Wouldn't shock me to see us try and add a depth QB. Don't think we will be in market for anyone looking to be a starter but would be nice to have another QB on the roster in case we get bit by the injury bug.

I wouldn't get hung up on the numbers next to the names. Just nice to see 3 Gophers being viewed as some of the best in college football. No way to really accurately rank players 1-whatever in something like this when guys play different positions and against different competition levels.

Hold up....so he is already threatening to sit out of playoff games for his new school if he doesn't get the money he thinks he deserves?.....Holy crap.....if I was a coach I would want nothing to do with a kid like this....I don't care if he is talented. So glad that Fleck would never go after...

I see this as a good sign that Pyron knew he wasn't going to be able to beat out Drake so he decided to go try and find playing time somewhere else. Pyron wasn't really brought in to be the starter in the way Brosmer was, he was brought in to provide depth and compete with the other guys...

It's pretty rare to see any sort of QB battle that is truly 100% wide open in college athletics. There is always going to be the likely starter. But that doesn't mean it isn't an open competition that could be won it just means the other guys probably have to do something special in order to...

I don't disagree with your take but that said, Garcia back for another year would be a massive boost for the 25-26 version of the Gophers and would fill a need on the current roster.

Yep...probably won't get drafted but if he finds a good fit could definitely see him making a team.

The no matter what part seems to be the problem because there is always someone ready to launch a court battle for one reason or another these days. Covid really messed up eligibility and the recent explosion in available money has motivated a lot of guys to look for other ways to hang on as...

Love it.....Mo approached things with a similar mentality. This is what Fleck means when he talks about a player led team. If the stars are bought in and putting in the work it trickles down and makes everyone else work hard as well.

In my opinion they are addressing a problem that isn't really a problem and only comes up a few times a year during those games where teams are trying to run their offense at warp speed. The clear downside to this is that it has the definite potential to cost a team a valuable second half...

Yep.....he probably should have retired a few years ago but dude is a legend.
