Sometimes we fans forget that most of the players in the portal receive multiple offers. So it was never a given that Coach P and staff were going to do as well as they did in the portal. I'm guessing that last year's success certainly helped in getting players interested in the Gophers. Also...

I think she'll be a great fit. She'll be working with teammates who already know how to get the ball into the post and she'll get some of the rebounds needed to cover for the losses of Hart and Battle.

Like that she has a couple years left. Like her scoring numbers and shooting percentage. She's not as tall as Battle. FT percentage? Any rebounds? (Too lazy to look it up.)

Seems like you might not understand the process. Not 5 days until the signing deadline.

I wouldn't consider Tony Liebert to be a good source.

Not a fan of this idea. I'm for any entity that supports women's basketball, even if it's not the Gophers .

They draft 2nd.

Unconfirmed sources tell me that Diet Coke guy has offered to pay the entire NIL for Crooks, but I still think there are better options.😁

UCLA a very unselfish and well-rounded team. Kneepkins and Tessa showcased MN basketball talent. I'll admit that I've been confounded by some of the WNBA mock drafts that have the Lynx taking Fudd or Miles second in the draft. I've been thinking they should take Betts. No way on Fudd. One mock...

Looked to me like SC is more athletic. And they rebounded extremely well.

It's certainly something that would end up in the courts.. and, you're right, it probably won't be enforceable.

I'm a no in the Gophers going after Crooks. She's a definite defensive liability and I'd be surprised if Coach P is willing to abandon such a big part of her program's identity for such a player, albeit a very talented offensive player. Also, as Crooks was part of the mass exodus at ISU, I'm...

Lots of credit to Coach P and this past year's players for the culture they've built with this program. It's always fun to talk about portal additions, but player retention is just as important.

Good news. I think she'll have a chance to contribute in a big way next year.

Would have been great to have Shaq from her college days on next year's Gopher team. Best female post passer I've ever seen. Could also set a solid screen.😁
