    Grayson Grove is redshirting

    At his size I thought that being athletic was his biggest asset. He's got a long way to go but I really like his possibilities. In the first exhibition game he went up above rim to reject the shot of one of Bemidji players driving to the basket. He's not going to stand out because of his...

    ***OFFICIAL OMAHA AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    They played through Mitchell getting injured and Garcia collecting four fouls, that is encouraging. They are new to each other, they are going to improve quickly. Doesn't look very good right now but it could change fast.

    ***OFFICIAL ORAL ROBERTS VS MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    In time I think Asuma starts but based on the two exhibition games, didn't get a to see the OR game, he has some breakdowns on defense that need to be corrected before he is deemed a starter. He's got good size, quickness, see's the floor, and a pretty good shooter for a freshman. He's going to...

    Corn Nation on Nebbie Loss to UCLA

    Yup, Nebraska feasted on partial/nonqualifier recruits. Big 8 was the only conference that allowed giving scholarships to these players. That ended in 94, Osborn conveniently retired a couple of years later.

    Memphis -Missouri, Ohio State -Texas, and Baylor-Gonzaga look to me to be tough opening night games.

    First Round on Campus

    The Vikings Dallas NFL championship Hail Mary game at the Met is the last game I have attended outside after October 31. Promissed myself never again and have stuck with it, 46 years and counting.

    All Things Class of 2025 Gophers Basketball Recruiting Thread

    You almost have to do something that goes against the grain and be good at it to succeed with the limited resources Minnesota has, whatever that ends being. Tough job for most coaches I would imagine.

    All Things Class of 2025 Gophers Basketball Recruiting Thread

    I have no idea but I am guessing the top rated players from the transfer market and top rated high school guys are similar. After that if I was handing out NIL I would prefer a proven guy from the transfer market rather than a high school recruit.

    The only guys they have bigger are Garcia and Edmonds, Mitchell was noticably shorter when standing next to Betts.

    He plays defense, he'll get court time just because of that. They làck size this year, he'll provide some of that.

    ***OFFICIAL BEMIDJI STATE AT MINNESOTA EXHIBITION IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    How about Grove, didn't show much offensively but the kid has potential. Good size, runs the floor, moves well, I can see him getting some floor time come February. Work in progrèss but there is a lot to work with, definitely not a stiff.

    ***OFFICIAL BEMIDJI STATE AT MINNESOTA EXHIBITION IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Edmonds impressed me. He has good size and athleticism. I don't think Mitchell is athletic enough, neither have great offensive skills. Rigsby and Asuma were the others that are going to contribute.

    UVA Tony Bennett to announce his immediate retirement in a press conference on Friday at 11 a.m.

    So it comes to mid January and Garcia leading the team in points and productive on the boards decides he isn't enjoying it and it quits and that is OK. Not in my book.

    UVA Tony Bennett to announce his immediate retirement in a press conference on Friday at 11 a.m.

    What about loyalty and commitment, no sense of responsibility anymore. If its not health related kind of bad timing if you ask me. Hard to understand how someone walks away at the start of the season, March yea more power to him, not October.

    Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State, and Iowa say no.

    Minnesota's Dawson Garcia Named to Preseason All-Big Ten

    No Michigan, Mich State, Maryland, Wisconsin, Illinois, UCLA, or USC players on the team. It is going to change.

    That really changes recruiting making high school kids more important. You can't go out and get 8-10 prospects in the portal every year. Every now and then fine but not every year. Ability to take a chance grows a bit also.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MICHIGAN BATTLE FOR THE LITTLE BROWN JUG IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Networks don't want Michigan losing that game. They need at least two amoung Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, or Oregon making the playoff.
