    Minnesota 2025-2026

    Many on this forum have looked for additional 3-point shooting... discussion has been around getting a player with "Steward-like" qualities. Well, I believe Bershears can help fulfill those wishes... reasonable size, 3-pt shooting, reasonable FT%. Also, I like the unknown benefit of having her...

    Recruiting

    Brooke Olson had a stellar basketball career at UMD. She was on staff with Gophers as a Graduate Manager for the 2023-2024 season. She is currently an assistant coach at UW-Stout. I had hoped that her Duluth connections would provide a 'inside track' to recruiting Chloe Johnson.

    Perhaps you are right... I'll have to think about that.

    I agree with your comments. I recently listened to an interview with Janel McCarville by a local Stevens Point podcaster: https://search.app/gtTqMZTT5tHY9JqTA Janel had more coaching experience leading to her present head coaching job at SPASH than Whalen had for the Gopher job. I have used...

    I agree. Braun injured her foot around the middle of November. I would think she would be ready by practice time.... how long does it take to 'knock off the rust.' Whether she starts or not I think the staff would be mindful of her minutes. Woodson was injured around the second week of...

    I agree that companies should be interested/invested in NIL and the future opportunities for players. How should we as individuals promote the Program? Buy season tickets? Introduce friends to the game? Donating to the Gopher Fund? Or perhaps becoming a member at DTA? Or does the responsibility...

    What grade would you give the Gophers 2024-2025 season?

    We view things with different "lenses." We can view the same stats or data and draw different conclusions. I do this often, interpreting data to match my thinking. What I saw was year-over-year improvements of the individual players. What I didn't see was consistency. In the WBIT, I saw them...

    I look at Williams Arena as being an enduring structure. I am sure it was built with a firm foundation and then 'brick-by-brick.' The players, Coach P and her staff are working on building an enduring structure. I know the NCAA tournament is the goal and a national championship as the ultimate...

    What grade would you give the Gophers 2024-2025 season?

    I would give them a B+. They beat Wisconsin twice, won at Illinois, beat Indiana here, took OSU to overtime at OSU, and played Maryland very close. They advanced a level in tournament play and won that tournament.

    Yes, and the Gophers are the only team to hold Merkle scoreless in 22 minutes of play.

    I recall the post game interview with Staley after they beat Iowa & CC saying if you want to be superstar, South Carolina is not for you.

    Favorite Friday = Who is YOUR favorite Gophers women’s basketball player?

    1. Whalen - she introduced me to the game. 2. McCarville - IMO the greatest performance in a NCAAW tournament. 3. As a collective this current team - love to watch them.

    Great news! Now let's drag out the players and coach we have thrown under the bus... wipe-off the thread marks, dust them off... and look forward to next season. I know the players will work hard during the summer... let's do our part and promote the Program. Go Gophers!!
