Interested to see if Kussow pops back up in the ESPN rankings this fall. Perhaps more than any other top 50 recruit in the '26 class, Kussow has moved down in several rankings. She went from 16 (January) to 20 (April) to 47 (June) in ESPN's ratings. She went from 18 (last winter) to 36 (July)...

The Hoopla Newsletter is out with its Gopher preview. Predicts Gophers for 8th in the conference, which feels like the low end of the range for a Gopher prediction. Writer is an OSU guy, but not overly biased. Guy was a huge fan of Tori McKinney last year. Anyway, FWIW...

I'm a fan of Coach P's recruiting eye, and one or both of Faben and Kuol may turn out to be real contributors. But calling either Faben or Kuol a high-level commit is a huge stretch. Faben had 2 P-4 offers, second-tier ACC member Boston College and Minnesota. Hard to tell who else was...

I was a fan of the Ayianna Johnson signing a few years back, and she was a pretty big recruiting reach. Kuol is another recruiting reach, but you can’t teach size. With so many open scholarships, seems ok to take a flyer.

As a Coach P scheduling critic, I am happy to see the improvement in the quality of the neutral/road portion of the pre-conference schedule, and happy to see regional opponents of interest (Marquette, Drake) on the schedule. Kansas could/should be a top 40-50 team, perhaps better if their hyped...

If it's Paben, another test for the Coach P recruiting eye, which has been pretty good. Creighton is a solid offer, but otherwise her offer list is lacking: Cornell, St. Bonaventure, Lehigh, Evansville, Cleveland St, Colgate, Boston College, No. Dakota, Illinois State, Creighton, UTSA...

Moseley seemed off kilter at Wisconsin during her tenure: She reportedly took offense at questions from Matt Wilke about the plan going forward; Wilke then transferred to Utah. She lost her entire coaching staff after year 2, 1 to promotion, 1 to DIII and fired an ex UConn player (Caroline...

bball_craz_31 was all over this one from early on. Kussow to Minnesota is no surprise at all.

“Paben has drawn a good mix of offers, going over double digits this summer. She added Creighton, George Washington, UTSA and Minnesota in the last few days after adding Boston College, Illinois State and North Dakota following the prior live period.”...

Wasn’t that long ago that Gophers were really low on this list.

Any known official visitors for the football game tomorrow night? Lots of official visits being taken this week across the country.

Manhattan on 11/7 in the Barn. 217 in the NET last year.

Not surprising that a disciplined coach like Coach P has a set of talking points for this offseason. Her state fair interview includes basically the same points, several nearly word-for-word, as her interview that aired last week on the Dribble Drive podcast. Still a good listen, especially...

Care to identify the abusing current/former BIG coaches, or at least the ones that are well known to AAU coaches, players and families? Other than Moseley and Sharon Versyp, don't know who you are talking about.

40,500, with a big help from the free freshman tickets. In 2023, the last year for which I could find scanned ticket information, the Gophers averaged 38,321 in actual attendance, with 5 of the 7 home games below 40,000. Aug. 31: Nebraska, 53,629 announced; 45,871 actual Sept. 9: Eastern...

Interesting that the Gophers seemingly have passed on Vienna Murray from East Ridge. Perhaps not a position fit or perhaps Coach P simply not interested. Her late 2025 offers are Oklahoma, Iowa, BYU, Missouri, ASU, Purdue. She made this ESPN list (top left) of 2026 national prospects who...

Took an official visit to Iowa State this summer. Only official visit I saw. Also has several Ivy League offers and offers from ISU, Kansas State, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, South Florida, Florida Atlantic, George Mason.

It’s my understanding that the Gophers had long since moved on from Jahnke. When Jahnke reviewed her recruitment this summer, she identified Richmond as her only official visit to date, and said she was also in contact with Harvard, Fairfield, Boston College and Belmont. Guessing Colorado made...

The ESPN top 150 list from a few years back had 10+ QBs ranked above Tebow. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/page/cfb150players/the-150-greatest-players-college-football-150-year-history

Decision soon for Kussow. Gophers?
