    Coaches to Watch

    Okay here is a few things to make sure to understand with this coaching search. Megan Duffy- She has a good thing going at Marquette so this is likely a situation where they have to really pay a lot and likely over what is making now at Marquette and maybe even what Whalen was making...

    Freshman minutes

    If they had a play for her, they would have run it at the end of regulation against Badgers at Home. She had 28 points and frankly it came off her setting up her own shot or getting to the openings behind the arc.

    Freshman minutes

    If you look at pure numbers, that doesn't always tell the story. When it comes to turnovers, While yes Katie has moments of good defense and nice passes. However it seems WHEN the turnovers come or the substitution happens that all of sudden leads are gone or close games are not out of reach...

    Hammond and Oberg not returning..

    Here is the updated depth chart heading into next season with losing Oberg, Hammond, Cayton, and Gradwell. Next season will have no seniors so if looking to add transfers, guessing they will need to be Graduate Seniors for only the one season.

    Whalen needs to go, good grief!!!

    First of all... you couldn't be further from the truth. These parents like the players were fully aware AND FULLY support their daughters decisions to go to Minnesota and knew it was a building project. Amaya's dad could not be nicer and the reason they sit to the side instead of behind bench...

    We want the one coach who Whalen has been able to beat..twice this year?

    Coaches to Watch

    This list is simply something to keep in mind as the season progresses on. If and is a HUGEEEE IF Whalen steps aside or is relied of duties, these are some of the names I would expect to possibly be on Coyle’s list. Also, Minnesota is always going to hire a Female coach, so I didn’t bother...

    2024 Recruiting

    I can speak to my knowledge in speaking with the players, while yes I would say 5-8 years ago, it was almost expected that the Gophers would be on the finalist list, that is not the case anymore. Back in the day, Rebekah Dahlman literally took an official visit at Minnesota knowing full well...

    B1G Game 14: Gophers Host Wisconsin (2-11-23)

    There are some key things that come into tonight. First, after the 12-5 start, Whalen had Mara, Mal, Amaya and Rose on the bench with a five of Hammond, Maggie, Cayton, Katie ad Gradwell. WHO IS YOUR SCORING OPTION WITH THAT GROUP? How are you EVER having all three freshman off the floor at...

    When does the seat become hot?

    A friend with prior assistant experience, final four experience and recruiting desire. Something none of the three we have now seem to have.

    When does the seat become hot?

    I would say Hart could start, meaning a starting five of Battle-Braun-Heyer-Rose-Hart (if no transfers or injuries) Klick could be productive in backup SG role to come in, give energy and hit jumpers. Same with Katie next year. Two International players both high ceilings.

    When does the seat become hot?

    Let's review her career, good and bad. Overall Record as of 1/30/23: (69-69) Big Ten as of 1/30/23: (30-52) Positives: -Bringing Carly Thibault-DuDonis on when she first got the job. A fantastic recruiter and outstanding up and coming coach. Also, a key player in getting the 2022s. -The...

    Here is a look at updated recruiting known offers. Or at least ones that haven't put out a final list/publicly removed gophers. 2024 Commits: Alyssa Wirth- 6'4 Post Offers: 2024: Offered/In-State: Jordan Zubich, 5’10 G, Mountain Iron-Buhl HS (Gophers made her Final Six) Out of State...

    2024 Recruiting

    While I agree usually a list can sometimes signal not picking gophers, I think it more so has to do with the amount of contact the player has to deal with. When they do the top 5,6 10 etc, other schools (usually) stop reaching out so it's less time making call backs etc. Players like Heyer...

    B1G Game 8: Gophers Visit Penn State (1-18-23)

    The last five years/Whalen's record vs Penn State is 7-1. It's 6-1 with Kieger there as she came the year after Whalen came to MN. The only loss was at the barn 60-69 during the Covid year 20-21 season.

    2024 Recruiting

    Some context with this... Gophers are likely in 5th place of this 6 teams for her. As of right now, they are not on her expected four official visits plans.

    B1G Game 6: Gophers Host Rutgers (1-12-23)

    Katie I could see. The other three are locked in for next season. They wanna play with Sophie and Nia. In terms of people saying Katie to the bench... it's been WAYYY PAST time for her to come off the bench. here is the updated numbers of assist/turnovers for each player. Mara: 48 assists/49...

    B1G Game 5: Gophers visit Wisconsin (1-8-23)

    I see a lot of people bring up the fact that Whalen is in her 5th Season when discussing the record and how the team is doing. First of all, Coyle knew this was not a 1-2 year plan when she was hired. It was playing the long game. Secondly, another thing we can drop is the notion of how she came...

    2025 Recruiting

    To put to lightly, When it comes to Crump... don't hold your breath. She has no shortened list at this time but likely by end of summer going into her junior year could have a top 10 named

    B1G Game 4: Gophers host Ohio State (1-5-23)

    I will say this, It was an extremely impressive game overall. This is a team we have seen have 20+ turnovers easily so yesterday seeing 16 total vs a team that is pressing and thrives off forcing turnovers was a huge improvement. Ohio State also to me is HUGELY overrated. They are not the third...
