    I think we'll add Patterson, Odukale, Edmonds, & Caleb Williams of the guys we know about, lose Christie & add one more we haven't heard about yet. Starters: C- F. MItchell PF- Garcia SF- Odukale SG- M. Mitchell PG- Patterson Bench: G- Asuma G- Rigsby G- Caleb Williams F- Betts F- Fox F-...

    Gopher Potential Portal Pursuits

    The knock on him coming out of high school was that he's very slow footed, and couldn't defend, or penetrate at the high major level. Others have said that he's worked very hard to change his body, and improve his quickness. So apparently he's quicker than he was, but he's no Hawkins. If you...

    I'm just saying, don't expect Patterson to play at the level Hawkins did. He's probably a step up from Mike Mitchell, but we'll definitely miss Hawkins. A lot! Between Patterson, Mitchell, Asuma & hopefully Christie, we should be able to compete, but Hawkins really screwed us bad by waiting...

    A poster on 247 reported last week that his neighbor told him something to the effect of "Hey, you're a Gopher fan, right? My nephew is going to be the next PG for you guys", and that nephew is Patterson. Pretty sure that's where the Patterson smoke began.

    100%. People claiming that JoJ wasn't playing because his defense wasn't up to snuff, clearly never watched Christie play defense. Or Mike Mitchell for that matter.

    Hell yeah this is a no-brainer if we can land him! I'm just saying, he's no Elijah Hawkins. He's more like a Ta'Lon Cooper.

    No one's arguing it wouldn't be nice to a have a 7 footer who can play. That point is self-evident. It's also no secret the staff is looking for a back-up Center, who can be this year's Jack Wilson, or Charlie Daniels. I have no doubt we will land one. I just don't expect that guy to be a...

    Sure, it'd be better if Mitchell was 6'11", but there really aren't any starting quality Center's that size that we could get. Our old Center Pharrell Payne's only an inch taller than Mitchell at 6'9". With no Zach Edey, the league got a lot smaller this season as well.

    I'd MUCH rather have Hawkins, and it isn't even close, but I'd much rather have Patterson than go into the season with Asuma/Mike Mitchell running the show. Patterson makes a lot of sense for all involved.

    Frank Mitchell is almost certainly our starting Center.

    VA Tech QB Dylan Wittke Commits

    Nice prospect, but doesn't really address our need for a QB behind Brosmer with a few college snaps under his belt.

    Matt Birk: If college athletes enter the transfer portal they shouldn't be eligible for NIL money.

    Doesn't this just incentivize schools to cheat by offering players far above the collective bargaining agreement, as under-the-table payments?

    Matt Birk: If college athletes enter the transfer portal they shouldn't be eligible for NIL money.

    He was also an 6 time pro bowl Center, which is considered the 2nd most cerebral position on the offense behind QB.

    On a side note, I think Cody Lindenberg, Devean Eastern & Jah Joyner (of our defensive players who've played a lot) all have chances to be drafted in the next year or two.

    Which means he'll probably measure 5' 9.5" at the combine, will likely run a pedestrian 4.48 40 & isn't nearly quick enough to play the slot on the NFL, imo. Maybe someone will take him in the 7th round, or as an UDFA? He's a gamer, there's always an outside chance. This isn't to hate on...

    We could REALLY use a run stuffing nose guard. We have talent along the DL, but are very thin at the 1 technique .
