Can Wolfson, or anybody, get through some sort of potential gopher news without trying to push the 'one of us' angle. I get that some of the media guys will push names they know and the names they know are the local ones, but maybe do some research. Reach out to a national level reporter who...

Honestly of all the sports, it seems like the NBA cares very, very little about a player's personality and work ethic. James Wiseman literally quit on his team as a freshman and will be a top-five pick. LaMelo Ball shut it down in Europe after an injury that he very easily (based on rumors)...

As much as my old soul wants to say 'stop biotching and be thankful you've been blessed with the ability to go to college for free and compete and an incredibly high level in a sport you allegedly love,' there's an overwhelming part of me that says I don't even care anymore about old notions...

Holmgren will get a massive offer to play in the G League I'm sure and if it even remotely works out for the kids going for it this year, I'd be surprised if that wasn't the route he ultimately takes. The kid - based on my opinion so don't ask for evidence - seems very driven by the NBA but...

Bucket Getter Bucket Getter Not to be confused with pick setter, boxer outer and drive and disher

Kevin is a good dude. No idea how reliable his sources are but he's a MN HS referee in the metro area for what that's worth.

Pitino is a decent enough recruiter as evidenced by those class rankings. I'd bet those rankings have been boosted by landing top-100 guys essentially every year (Dorsey, Coffey, Washington, Oturu, Ihnen, Mashburn). Where Pitino has gotten in trouble is the lack of depth. Even their best teams...

If the free-for-all transfer is not allowed, the Gophers are going to be an awful basketball team next season. So I'd obviously like for that rule to go into effect. On a larger scale, one thing I've been confused on is when they say 'one-time transfer rule', does that mean that this one time...

The evidence is that last season, Carr played 38-40 minutes in just about every Big 10 game. Greenlee played 50 minutes all season. He had more turnovers than points. In this day and age, you just don't see kids go from not playing a lick to becoming impact rotation players very often. The...

9-3 breaking in a huge chunk of new starters on defense would be impressive. With games against Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin all fairly early in the year, I tend to think the defensive inexperience could be tougher to overcome

I agree with the bit on Tschetter being a fringe high-major guy. Feels like the type of player you can get every year and I don't think missing on him would hurt the perception locally beyond the outstate folks who want to get loud about feeling like he's disrespected due to location. He can...

Something in that water down in Caledonia, those kids work so hard. There - from a semi outsider perspective - does not seem to be a whole lot of entitlement even from their high-end athletes. I'm sure they are cocky and competitive and whatnot, but I respect the heck out of the way their...

Maybe I was just naive when I was younger, but it sure seems like players hate college more than ever.

I'll play. Count me in the camp that doesn't see Ihnen as a 3 man at all. I'd be shocked if he played any minutes there assuming Peterson is eligible to play right away and the perimeter group stays mostly healthy (never a guarantee of course). Here's my rough idea of minute allocation not...

They are awfully fun to watch play basketball though. They play an up-and-down brand of ball, bludgeon teams on the glass and actually win (this past season notwithstanding) a lot. I look forward to them being one of the better teams in the country again.

I'm assuming he sees very little time right away but if he can provide immediate production, all the better

Is there still a belief that the transfers will be eligible to play immediately? I've seen a lot of folks assuming the NCAA wants to get away from waivers, and thus will move for a one-time free-for-all kind of deal this year, while others have reported that the more likely scenario is that...

Or raise the budget and get better kids...

Enjoy the view from the high horse. I won't hold myself to such high standards and will continue to enjoy watching them win...likely with Walton contributing quite a bit.

1. He was never at UMBC. 2. Do you not like Tony Bennett? I don't know how someone can watch basketball and not appreciate how good of a coach Bennett is.
