    Plitzuweit's assistant coaches

    I wonder if jobs at the U must be posted for a week (or some other time minimum) before someone can be hired. She may know who those assistants are already, but can't formalize that until the waiting period is over.

    2023 College Basketball Transfer Portal Watch Thread

    Who can remember when we got our transfer portal commitments from the last two years? I know I need patience, but trying to figure out how much.

    Dawn Plitzuweit Named New Gopher Head Coach!

    Is Minnesota theming the upcoming season "The New Dawn" though who the old Dawn is, I'm not sure? Dawn Staley?

    Dawn Plitzuweit Named New Gopher Head Coach!

    Here's the quote from the Strib piece: "It appears all four of former coach Lindsay Whalen's highly-touted 2022 recruiting class of Mara Braun, Mallory Heyer, Nia Holloway and Amaya Battle will return."...

    Reusse Gopher Basketball Insights - Transfer Gossip, NIL Money, Facilities, Dutcher, Musselman ETC

    You think the Strib's analysis of the lack of black coaches in the Big Ten and NCAA as a whole, when there is and has been a high percentage black players, is the reason the program is bad? I know it's easy to blame the "media elite" and the deep administrative state, but come on. Was there...

    That's quite the list and includes a lot of Big Ten teams, if that's something he likes. Step 1: We're contacted him.

    Megan Duffy

    While very much the most likely scenario, wouldn't Marquette upsetting South Carolina be an amazing profile boost: MN hiring (and paying dearly for) the coach that beat UConn and South Carolina in the same season.

    NIT or Bust?

    Regardless of how the transfer portal shakes out or how players develop in the offseason, there has to be a level of performance that cools Ben’s hot seat. Last place won’t do it. NCAA Tourney would be great, but that’s a big jump. Would making the postseason NIT be necessary? Here’s the Big...

    All Things Isaac Asuma Recruitment Thread (Class of 2024, Minnesota's Top In-State Target)

    I'm not sure if this would help the program or himself, but anyone know if he's considering reclassifying to the 2023 class?

    New arena - just look at the Longhorns’ new Moody center

    I like the Barn - when it's full. It is a great atmosphere. The reality is that there a lot of competition in this market for ticket dollars. I love the flexibility that Texas' arena has. Based on recent history for men's, women's, and volleyball, the top would often be blocked off. When...

    Jack Robinson commits to Wisconsin

    In this article from August, Knueppel makes no mention of MN in his recruitment. It appears to be Asuma or bust.

    DENNIS EVANS A GOPHER!!!!!!!!!!!

    Since Jenkins was the last assistant hired, and didn't seem to be the first choice, I was worried it wouldn't work out well. But with Henley, Betts, and now Evans, he seems to be more than pulling his weight. Hopefully these guys develop.

    All Things 2023 Gophers Basketball Recruiting Thread

    With USC and UCLA to the B1G, one would think that conference games in Southern California would be a plus that Minnesota could offer that TCU and Kansas cannot.

    2022 Transfer Portal Discussion

    I think we're in a lull with the Gophers because they are waiting on a shooting guard that is currently going through the draft process. Maybe that's a specific one or maybe they feel like they have some good possibilities and it's worth waiting. I would guess that would be Hunter Jr., but...

    2022 Transfer Portal Discussion

    Anyone familiar with the NBA draft exploration process? I'm wondering if Ben might keep one or both of the remaining scholarships for a higher level player who might be testing the waters, like Hunter. I'm wondering when they'd be done and be likely to announce a school, if transferring.
