    PP pre-season conversation with Medved

    Love him, or hate him. Danny Hurley's UConn squad had talent, but they were different on offense because they did this better than anyone! It’s the ball movement, the cutting,” he said. “I think one of the things we do a really good job of, hopefully, is trying to teach guys to play without...

    2025 Big Ten win totals: Projecting the finish for every B1G team (MN: 6.5 wins; Pick: Over 6.5 wins)

    Geers and Eastern could make a SR jump and be drafted or at least free agents. MSN article had Geers as the 4th best TE in the big ten.

    Inside the Hall: 2025-26 Big Ten offseason at a glance: Minnesota Golden Gophers

    I am guessing he did the write up before Tyson and Stephens committed. He then only added them to the Arriving list, without rechecking the writeup. We may have weaknesses next year, but I don't think it will be 3 pt shooting as a team will top the list. Turnovers, shot selection, team...

    A Decent pre-season projection (sort of) and nice write-up for a change (from CBS no less)

    It was a very good write-up overall. Oh I agree, their starting lineup would have trouble rebounding and playing defense. I predict this one. G Asuma and Willis, F Durkin and JCJ C Vailhola With heavy bench minutes from Reynolds, Omot, Tyson, and Hopefully Turner (he needs to get in better...

    TYSON TO GOPHERS

    Interesting on 247 Sports, they have Cade Tyson tied at .91 with Chansey Willis JR for the 2nd highest rated transfer after Bobby Durkin. I also like that Niko sees what we see in that we needed at least 1 more big and he got Turner. Than we all noticed we had one lock down shooter in...

    Niko’s roster construction

    Agree JCJ should be a consistent presence at the 4. Backing him up: Omot looks 6-8 and 200 in his Cal video's, If they can get him up to 210 he could play small ball 4. A majority of teams don't post up the PF spot anymore. It's one post and 4 out. Not ideal, I suppose Durkin at 6-7 220...

    Tyson to Minnesota?

    Nice post! In pictures, Omot appears to be closer to 200lbs now.

    Cedric Tomes commits!!!

    Bobby played with Eric Harris a bigger pt guard really similar in size to Asuma.

    Cedric Tomes commits!!!

    I don’t see Asuma as a small guard. 6-3 and probably will be 195 this year.

    Cedric Tomes commits!!!

    He has a lot of playground in his game at the high school level. Some of what Marcus Carr had. Gifted scorer, I could see him being a scorer of the bench while Niko gets him to tone down the flashiness a tad.

    Interesting Richard Pitino interview on his time at Minnesota

    Honest evaluation of oneself requires maturity. He has grown a lot. Much better suited personality wise to the NIL and transfer era than Ben.

    Rutgers

    He was just measured at 6-7 and change barefoot. He may have been close to 6-9 in shoes. It was one of the surprises of the NBA combine, that he wasn't anywhere near 6-10. I think he is dropping from pick 2-3.

    Cedric Tomes commits!!!

    So does he have point guard skills? Or will it be one of those situations where he plays with a taller point guard like Asuma? So Asuma could guard a 2.

    Who would be your 21st century gopher team?

    3.9 blocks per game was probably top 5 in the country, and maybe 1st or 2nd for power schools! It's not been done in the big ten too often I would imagine.

    Who would be your 21st century gopher team?

    As someone else has pointed out, had NIL been available back then, maybe we get Oturu for another year.

    Who would be your 21st century gopher team?

    Oturu's Soph stats 20 ppg, 11.3 reb, 1 ass, 2.5 blks. 56%FG Pryzbilla's short soph year 14.2ppg, 8.4 reb, 2.4 ass, 3.9 bls. 61%FG Stats aren't everything, but Oturu was the better scorer and rebounder, Pryzbilla the better shotblocker and suprisingly a better passer. One thing I...

    Who would be your 21st century gopher team?

    I forgot about Rickert. I’d add him to my bench and drop Lynch. Garcia and Rickert are very similar players. Humphries left a bad taste in my mouth. He isn’t on my team.

    Who would be your 21st century gopher team?

    My starting guards would be Nate Mason and Andre Hollins. My forwards are Amir Coffey and T. Mbakwe My center is Daniel Oturu. My high scoring bench is: M. Carr fire plug, shot taker D. Garcia, smooth scorer D. Johnson for defense. J. Murphy to rebound. V. Griers all round game. Sr year Peyton...

    Which Gophers did you miss on badly - you thought XYZ Gopher would be much better or much worse?

    That 04-05 team, talk about over-achievers! Vincent Grier could really take over a game on offense. This team really locked you down on defense. "Vincent and the nobody's!" tribute to Kansas.

    Which Gophers did you miss on badly - you thought XYZ Gopher would be much better or much worse?

    Had an ok career, but he underachieved. 49th ranked overall recruit and 9th best SF. SF at 6-7 makes sense, I remember hearing about him being a SG? In those days, there was a difference in size and skill between SG and SF. SG were your best shooters and scorers, and most were 6-3 to 6-5...
