    Corn Nation on Nebbie Loss to UCLA

    Yup, Nebraska feasted on partial/nonqualifier recruits. Big 8 was the only conference that allowed giving scholarships to these players. That ended in 94, Osborn conveniently retired a couple of years later.

    Memphis -Missouri, Ohio State -Texas, and Baylor-Gonzaga look to me to be tough opening night games.

    First Round on Campus

    The Vikings Dallas NFL championship Hail Mary game at the Met is the last game I have attended outside after October 31. Promissed myself never again and have stuck with it, 46 years and counting.

    All Things Class of 2025 Gophers Basketball Recruiting Thread

    You almost have to do something that goes against the grain and be good at it to succeed with the limited resources Minnesota has, whatever that ends being. Tough job for most coaches I would imagine.

    I have no idea but I am guessing the top rated players from the transfer market and top rated high school guys are similar. After that if I was handing out NIL I would prefer a proven guy from the transfer market rather than a high school recruit.

    He plays defense, he'll get court time just because of that. They làck size this year, he'll provide some of that.

    How about Grove, didn't show much offensively but the kid has potential. Good size, runs the floor, moves well, I can see him getting some floor time come February. Work in progrèss but there is a lot to work with, definitely not a stiff.

    Edmonds impressed me. He has good size and athleticism. I don't think Mitchell is athletic enough, neither have great offensive skills. Rigsby and Asuma were the others that are going to contribute.

    UVA Tony Bennett to announce his immediate retirement in a press conference on Friday at 11 a.m.

    So it comes to mid January and Garcia leading the team in points and productive on the boards decides he isn't enjoying it and it quits and that is OK. Not in my book.

    UVA Tony Bennett to announce his immediate retirement in a press conference on Friday at 11 a.m.

    What about loyalty and commitment, no sense of responsibility anymore. If its not health related kind of bad timing if you ask me. Hard to understand how someone walks away at the start of the season, March yea more power to him, not October.

    No Michigan, Mich State, Maryland, Wisconsin, Illinois, UCLA, or USC players on the team. It is going to change.

    That really changes recruiting making high school kids more important. You can't go out and get 8-10 prospects in the portal every year. Every now and then fine but not every year. Ability to take a chance grows a bit also.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MICHIGAN BATTLE FOR THE LITTLE BROWN JUG IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Networks don't want Michigan losing that game. They need at least two amoung Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, or Oregon making the playoff.

    Classic, I still have a not quite complete set, they don"t make it like that anymore.

    Committing early to Minnesota had no impact on other offers Assuma might have gotten if he had waited I'm sure.

    Pac 10 expands, adds 4 new schools

    They need two more football schools it sounds like, might as well fold in the rest of the Mountain West it seems or are they going to pursue some Big 12 schools..

    Philly guard Kai Shinholster commits to the Gophers.

    Ideally you need some carryover, 7 would be great, not sure it will be a reality though.
