Wow. Heiman is an in state Nebraska kid. What was the local reaction? This doesn’t seem wise imo. Nebraska has plenty of spots to fill already, surely didn’t need the opening, and the kid was no superstar but showed some promise as a freshman big. He’s no Diedhou, that’s for sure. Heck...

Was this before or after we added Demir? With Demir in the fold to provide insurance against Curry's injuries, and *if* Coffey returns, I would put us at somewhere between 4 and 7. We wouldn't finish 9th unless we lost somebody due to injury or some other issue.

Is he related to Wayne Blackshear, who played for the Pitinos at Louisville?

Probably very simple reason -- because Pitino likes going to New York. Also more (albeit not much) ammunition for recruiting New York players: "we have played in New York [x] times in the last 2 years." Also, not sure exactly when they signed off on it, but it may have been while they...

Miles probably coaching for his job this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is there a "Gopher fans" section? Seems like the ticket market is entirely resale now, but I know the Gopher athletic dept had some tickets originally.

Comparison to last summer's "final." Looks like most of the guys aren't back to top speed yet (and winter weight/strength gains may sap a little speed??) which makes Myrick's big leap even more impressive. I'll be curious to see what this looks like when the new guys get in there.

How does Johnny Dawkins of Stanford keep his job? Took over a great program, and has since led them to ONE tourney appearance in 7 years. And in that one, they were likely one of the last teams to sneak in. This year he had a veteran team full of 4* and 5* talent. Again they miss the...

There's actually a fair chance that Maryland sneaks past Wiscy for the regular season title and #1 seed. Last game of the year is Maryland at cratering Nebraska, and Wisconsin at Ohio State. I'll bet Maryland and OSU will be favored, and a win by each will mean Wiscy drops to #2...

If anybody comes on here arguing free throw shooting isn't important to the outcome of a game, they ought to be banned for stupidity.

He probably already pretty much knows the top 5. Minnesota, Baylor, and Transfer U are 3 for sure, because they're always mentioned. I'd bet he'll list Arizona and UCLA as the others.

Looks like there have been some updates on the official Gopher roster, including adding Haugh, and some new weights. Martin listed at 6'8" 230 King listed at 6'9" 235 (!) Buggs 6'9" 220 Morris 6'5" 175 (still has a ways to go...) Roster

So apparently this person as has much power as Richard Pitino in deciding who is going to play basketball for the U of M .... that's just great.

You can move this to the Vaughn thread if you like, but IMO those are becoming a mess. My question is, what are the limits to what a prep program like Findlay can do? Are there any limits on what they can pay their coaches? On the number of coaches they can have? What's to stop a...

The more I read about the Minnesota recruiting scene in fb and bb, and the influences acting on these kids, the more depressing it is. It is becoming apparent that we're not just dealing with people like Levi Bradley and Pete Kaffey, but a whole pack of wolves and slimeballs just like them...
