So a little confusing and I imagine clarity will be coming soon but is this a situation where he’s back wrestling for the U while the WWE has his exclusive rights when he’s done?

Thompson’s probably never going to be a great post defender but give Payne a couple years in a college S&C program and he should be able to handle those guys. The Gophers need to build for March where versatility wins.

I think we should be encouraged, speaks to how badly he wants to be good sacrificing all the off the court senior year activities to focus on ball. Prolific Prep’s done a really nice job developing guys too, he’ll be pushed everyday in practice.

Landing Tre means nothing without a solid foundation. Penny Hardaway’s put together classes we would dream of and in three years, he hasn’t come close to contending for the title in the AAC. Watchers of the Big Ten should know better than anyone, the importance of culture and in not skipping...

The Johnson hire was always made with a long term view for better or worse. Which is hard to hear as fans that follow the program as closely as us on message boards but it’s the reality of the situation. This is a domino that needed to fall for us as a fan base to fully shift our view on...

I’m talking about casting a wider net much like what we see across the street and getting those kids on campus. When you’re a building program, you want to get as many recruits on campus as you can not just to sell that recruit’s family but let’s face it, kids and coaches talk. Even if we don’t...

though we haven’t got the commits yet, the amount of visits I think is a positive sign. Felt like we had very few out of state visitors in the Pitino era. This kid would be big time, looks like he’s a great student as well.

Really hope we get more behind the scenes/practice video with the new staff. All they can really sell in the early days is the culture shift so let's get that out there as much as possible for fans and potential recruits like they have on the football side.

Really positive to hear about the good start to the relationship with Sizzle

Brandon Johnson's originally from Chicago, so he's returning home and Pohto's actually Swedish, he just went to prep school in Kansas. Losing Gabe is a headscratcher regardless of whether he wanted a fresh start or not, fits the culture and has a previous relationship with two of the coaches...

If Tim Frazier can find his way onto NBA rosters, no reason Carr can't.

Thanks for the heads up!

I’m really intrigued by him as a prospect, if he can work that little hitch out of his throwing motion, I think he could really surprise and maybe even put some heat on Athan in the long term.

Good interview with Dave Thorson. Really enjoyable listening to him talk ball. Hopefully we get one with Kemp and McNeilly when he gets here.

2024 Mercy Miller will probably be a 5* and Chiang Ring from Minneapolis South could be in that conversation at some point too. 2023 will probably be a light year but 2024 should be pretty good. I like Marcus but a bit of a short sighted article.

Ongoing bidding war for Illinois assistant (former Kentucky asst) Orlando Antigua, one of the best recruiters in the country. Would be shocked if he didn't end up back in Lexington, Adam Miller would likely follow him too...

Typically wouldn't give up paywall info as I don't pay for access to GI at the moment but considering they had a free VIP day yesterday, that's where that news comes from.

Not sure if there's new news but the belief is that the Gophers are very much in the mix for Heide and that the Purdue steam has simmered down after they tried to pressure him into committing early. Unfortunate about King but always seemed the least likely of the top 5 in the state to stay home.

Isn't Miller more of a 4? Seems pretty agile and has a decent handle from what I've seen but I think he might be more of a Jordan Murphy type of undersized 4. Doesn't seem to be much of a floor spacer at all.
