She played the sisters of the poor on most nights. That's why.
What about the poor sisters
?
Tori scored 34 points with 14 rebounds against Rosemount this year. She is also rated #39 in the nation by 247 sports. She could definitely start as a freshman in the big ten
The problem is Natalie Kussow is also up there in the national recruiting class rankings, so if we were going to bring a freshman into the starting lineup, there's tough competition. What a good problem to have though!
Freshman PGs often struggle or don't live up to expectations.
I'm sure we will get a proven point guard out the portal but we should not assume that Tori will be the backup
That"s fine, but the new PG needs to be more than a 10 minute per game backup.
I think Kussow could start ahead of Tori but the position we are trying to fill is point guard and Kussow is not a point guard.
I agree 100% they need another good point guard. But, Tori has to play significant minutes to develop. She is also going to get better coaching than in high school to accelerate her development....and they practice like 16 weeks before the first game versus 10 days.
That's all true. But, as freshmen, they didn't play on a team loaded with upperclassmen that has expectations of making noise in the NCAA Tournament.
All sisters are poor by definition. Vow of poverty.What about the poor sisters
Yes I’m aware as someone raised Catholic, thank you.All sisters are poor by definition. Vow of poverty.
Sure, but how realistic in the portal era is McGill to Minnesota? We definitely need post help and that'll probably spend our budget. McGill story

Never pass up a good opportunity for a pun

She went in with a no contact tag. That means she already has a deal with someone else, and id bet my house that's not Minnesota. Id bet SC, UCLA, LSU type.
Probably a blue blood or deep pockets like TCU.
It doesn’t necessarily mean she has a deal with someone else; it’s more so her agent is handling and they don’t want 1000 calls.
I'm going true center/big (w/great defense and decent scoring) followed by PG or a solid guard who can learn. You can't teach height or athleticism but you can teach skills. I'm just thinking back to Rebecca Lobo saying during the tournament (paraphrased) it doesn't matter how good you are if the other girl defending you is a foot taller. This was noted in reference to two Centers battling it out under the basket. I also hope and know that the Gophers are probably scouring the mid-majors for great players who could step up to the Big 10 level if given the chance.
