    I'm not sure I see Walley as an NFL player. He's got neither the size, nor the speed the NFL is looking for in a CB. I think he might be a guy who's just a very good college player?

    We have one single QB with a college snap under his belt, and that was in the Coastal Athletic Association, not the B1G.

    All Things Jaxon Howard Recruitment Thread (Class of 2023, COMMITS TO GOPHERS!!)

    Slow down partner. We have a pretty good Senior penciled to start at Rush End in Danny Striggow. It'd be VERY surprising if Howard started accross from Joyner this Fall.

    U Twitter: PG1 is BACK‼️ @eslimee_ will return for his senior season at Minnesota!

    I didn't mean that as a starting five. I was just doing a head count. I also forgot about Grove again.

    U Twitter: PG1 is BACK‼️ @eslimee_ will return for his senior season at Minnesota!

    Ok, so we've got... PG- Hawkins PG- Asuma SG- Mitchell SF- Betts PF- Garcia SF- Christie maybe. It's almost a certainty he's going to declare for the NBA, and I'd be shocked if he returned if he's a 1st rounder. 2nd rounder, we might get him back. PF- Fox maybe. I don't think his knees...

    Spring Practice Observations

    He's still a really good RT, and 2 time All B1G HM, but pass blocking is certainly his weakness. I hope for Carroll's sake someone can step up, and give us a similar level of play at RT, so he can showcase himself for the NFL at his natural position of Guard, in his final year.

    All Things Jaxon Howard Recruitment Thread (Class of 2023, COMMITS TO GOPHERS!!)

    Jaxson Howard to the Gophers makes a lot of sense. We have a huge hole at his specific position of rush DE behind Danny Striggow who's in his last season. As long as he's not chasing NIL, which rumor has it he's not, then this could happen. My instinct says it's more likely to happen, than not.

    Dallas Hayden portal

    Not a position of need, not much playing time to offer, & he's probably not going to come cheap. Better to use our resources elsewhere, imo.

    Payne, Carrington, Ola-Joseph and Ihnen...

    For better, or worse, I think that'll be Morgan. The two big glaring weaknesses on the team last year that needed to be addressed were having no PG who could defend bigger, stronger PG's, who were eating up Hawkins all season. Asuma is expected to help fill that role. The other was we had no...

    We need 12 scholarship players, and don't have a lot of NIL money to spend. My problem with Ihnen last season was that he was our 9th man, played in 28 games, and averaged 11.4 minutes a game. We need to upgrade. Kris Keinys was our 12th man last season, played in 5 games, and averaged 4.2...

    Carrington has been a valuable player for us his first two years, and would likely only get better his next two years. He has been a starter for us, and could well be again. Mike Mitchell is not light years ahead of Carrington. Or, what if Christie leaves for the NBA? There's also the year...

    Disagree. No way could Ihnnen play the 5. Impossible. In the era of the portal, what advantage is there to signing a 12th man project like Kristop Keynis who may not devleop, and if he does probably won't stick around? Ihnen gives you a sure thing that can play a few minutes in spot duty, as...

    Talk now of Carrington & Ihnen potentially returning. I'd take them both back in a heartbeat, under the right circumstances. Add Morgan today, convince Fox to come back for one more year, and cross our fingers Garcia & Christie return? Suddenly, and this is incredibly optimistic I'm aware, we...

    Caitlin Clark offered 5 million to join Ice Cube's BIG3 basketball league

    I've known it existed for a while because I've seen Ice Cube videos where he mentioned it. I tuned in late one night a few years back, and caught Royce White playing for some team. Clark would get destroyed in that league.
