Good idea. I started a thread back in February regarding next years starters... Thread '2025-2026 season starters' https://gopherhole.com/boards/threads/2025-2026-season-starters.117743/ I posted my thoughts and the rationale for my choices.

I look at the portal not unlike me shopping for a car. What are my desires... are they inline with my needs? What is my budget? Do I want a truck or car, 2wd or awd... and so on. In the end, I will make an offer on a vehicle. Will the vehicle meet my needs? Hope so. Will it meet all of desires...

Cheers for your comment! We as fans are important. It's like the 'Field of Dreams'... build it and we will come and be a vibrant 6th player!

Battle acknowledged in the KFAN post-game interview that guarding the post was different for her especially guarding someone with the skills of Ejim. She decided the best strategy was to try and deny her the ball, because if Ejim got the ball, it could be trouble. She did an excellent job!

I agreed with the stellar performance. I wasn't nitpicking, only questioning whether it was the right decision... and offering a different outcome based on that decision. Battle has been thrown-under-the-bus and had her inventory taken with sometimes language that borders on vicious all season...

What if... Ejim makes first FT, but misses the second... they rebound and kick it out for a quick 3... one point game with perhaps 10 seconds left. They win with a 2. Or maybe Battle steps back and allows Ejim the 2. Gopher ball with 14 seconds left... they must foul us (hopefully Battle or...

Thanks

I believe my post should be on a different thread, is there a way to move it?

https://www.mprnews.org/episode/2025/03/26/out-to-lunch-lindsay-whalen-is-ready-to-have-joy-back-in-basketball I do partnership dance (Foxtrot, Waltz, Rumba, etc.) mostly with the same partner. At times we are like poetry-in-motion (at least in my own mind), dancing to the same music...

Agree with the best game of her career. However, with the Gophers up by 5, Battle fouled Ejim under the basket with 14 seconds left in OT. Ejim made both FT’s with no time burned off the clock. Would it been better to give up the 2 points and not foul and burn a second or two? I think so.

In 2008 the Gophers made the tournament. UConn was hosting the first two games... a few of us made the trip. Mya Moore was a Freshman... I was in awe of how she played the game... can't help but think her skills matched exactly what Coach Auriemma was looking for the position she played. When I...

... and who is to say that Sanders is even interested in going to the portal.

I am not trying to build a case for Porter, I used her as an example, much in the same way you used Sanders. I looked at the box scores for Colorado for the WBIT games... didn't see anything that stood out for Sanders. Both players may bring different skills to the game... what is Coach P and...

Aside from this... I wanted to post the article with a 'Click to expand' window, but didn't know how. Can anyone offer a brief tutorial? Thanks.

According to Kent Youngblood's article in the Star Tribune this morning "...the Gophers would not host a second-round game Sunday officially because the facility needs to be available for both teams the day before the game." Very simply put...

Thanks for digging-out the numbers... perhaps you are right... I will think about it.

I would welcome Porter. She brings BigTen experience, averaging about 32 minutes in conference play. She averaged about 7 points, 4 rebs, and 2-3 TO. She doesn’t get to the line often, but averages 82% when she does. Not a 3 point threat… may have a steal or two. During the two games with WI...

I believe another true low post with size is what the Gophers need… I left out ‘plodder’ because with all due respect I believe it is demeaning and unnecessary to make your point. I was glad to have Steward this year, she contributed to whatever success we had this year. The return of Braun and...

6'6" similar frame as Hart, Sophomore. Slower start in Conference play, but over last 10 games she average 15pts in 24min & had 5 double/doubles. Her doubles were against OSU, NU, ILL, WIS, and MICH. Doesn't shoot the 3, poor FT%, about 4 TO, stays out of foul trouble. MN was the only team that...

Any thoughts on Gracie Merkle from Penn State?
