Duke might have been the leader until Emilee Skinner committed there. Skinner is a ball dominant PG in the ‘25 class ranked higher than Greenway.

I like your logic, but ESPN+ has a long schedule of games listed as shown tomorrow. The Gophers game is not one of them. Same story for Sunday.

I count 4-21 versus D-1 teams. Gophers currentky ranked 284 for non-con strength of schedule per Warren Nolan (believe this is RPI basis not NET). https://www.warrennolan.com/basketballw/2025/schedule/Minnesota

Should pair nicely, after a year, with Greenway (as seems likely).

This year’s schedule is Coach P’s schedule. She is playing the level of teams she wants to play.

No TV/streaming of any kind for this weekend's 2 Gopher games?

Fingers crossed for Wed. commitment. Would be a huge get.

If she has a legitimate hardship reason other than getting beat out at NC State so her 5 games shouldn't count, then I'm all for the waiver. But if it's just she chose the wrong college, and shouldn't have gone back for her sophomore year, but only played 5 games so give her a break, then I am...

If I understand your post, Hart is a senior this year. Don’t believe she has another year, unless she somehow got a waiver from the NCAA. Did I miss that? Not sure what the basis would be for a waiver. Played 5 games as a sophomore, but was buried on the bench so transferred mid-year. Not...

Share to a lesser degree your interest in attendance. Wonder if you know or have a sense when reported attendance figures changed from the number of people actually there to the number of tickets distributed. The Gophers are no different than other schools, but reported attendance figures...

Agree that the numbers are good, or at least not bad, given the unattractive home schedule. The Gophers play a weak home non-conference schedule, and then play all of the pre-season top 5 BIG teams (USC, UCLA, OSU, MD & Neb) on the road.

Montana and Vermont look like the 2 best home opponents.

Disagree. The beginning of the end for Nebraska was when they lost their ability to take academically marginal recruits who couldn’t go to Big Ten and many other schools. Tom Osborne fought hard to keep this advantage because he knew what it meant. As Mike Farrell recently wrote: Another...

Agree 100%. Much better for all concerned when players like Crump and Greenway make it clear early on they are not coming to the home state school.

Duke seemed to be the leader until they got a commitment from Emilee Skinner in the ‘25 class, an even higher ranked ball dominant guard. Will be interesting to see if that changes things. Being the replacement to Georgia Amoore at Kentucky seems like a real possibility. Hard to tell if Iowa...

I'm still encouraged by Minnesota going toe-to-toe with K-State.

Love the report, which I find mildly surprising, given how good K-State is/should be. Wish the Gophers would play a non-conference game like this for real this season. Kansas State could be 75+ spots higher in the NET than any team the Gophers will face for real in the non-conference season...

Beating K-State is a really good sign.

Hopefully the Gophers' early interest in Carroll will pay dividends. South Carolina came in late after missing on earlier targets, and she was scheduled as of Oct. 2 to visit South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia Tech and Ohio State before making a decision. Edit: Carroll has rocketed up...

6 BIG teams are ranked, 3 others received votes (Iowa 26th, Illinois 29th, MSU 31st). Gophers are 10th tournament team in ESPN's early bracketology. Thought the Gophers might have received a vote or two.
