Pretty good case for Lou Hudson to be best Gopher...then you have Kevin McHale. Top 50 or Top 100 All NBA Player on almost all lists. Criteria is a moving target. Ray Williams and Bobby Jackson somewhere at the top of the list for most fun to watch play Gophers.

The old school Gophers were so much better than guys from the last 10 to 15 years. Not even close. Jimmy Williams got us so many Top 10 in the (Jimmy Story) country players and so many over achievers. All the Musselman and Dutcher guys were recruited by Jimmy. His eye for talent was #1. Big...

Mark Hall was superb with the ball but Ray Williams was sooo skilled at a much faster speed. Both those guys were outstanding! Ray Williams on the break was worth any price of admission...something lightnin' quick and I don't believe what I just saw would happen every time on the break. Some...

Google says Trent Tucker was a 50% shooter as a Gopher. Willie Burton shot 59% his junior year...again according to Google. Those two guys were fun to watch. As mentioned, nobody shot deeper shots than Clyde Turner. He poured them in at at 44.5% clip for his Gopher career. Flip Saunders was...

And I don't want to jinx it but I think we can stay perfect in the Cupcake City tourney with the last two. Then we just go 13 and 7 in the Big Ten and we are in! I'm not sure odds even register on the possibility of that....oh sure they do...Diamond Joe's has em at $10M to 1. If it wasn't so...

I'm pretty sure the guy we got is his never played before twin brother who showed up to cash the checks for him while basketball playing brother hopefully returns from his mystery disappearance. If I'm wrong...are you gonna be upset if he transfers and we can pay someone else the money?

Information on Oregon Mallory has to sit out this year before she is eligible to play at Oregon. So, she likely gets paid for two years, I would think.

That is $15M NIL added to the $15M revenue sharing...totaling $30M, not $20M. Lindsey is getting more than $1M or giving us a big time discount. If it is $30M UofM to $40M for LSU shouldn't we be better?

Yes, I'm adding NIL to get to $20 plus.

Kinda surprised we only have two guys announcing their return. After the Wisconsin game PG said his priority beginning the next day.. Sunday after the game was to meet with each player to learn their roster decisions and wish the bottom guys well elsewhere. That was priority one. Maybe no news...

I thought that was the slice from revenue sharing...$15M or so...then you got NIL which is supposedly doing very well.....$5 to $10M?

So that multiplies to round numbers $2 million dollars of our $20 plus million bucket.

Across all sports...how many DI athletes are there in Minnesota? Not many. There is some delusion but overall it becomes apparent to most that there are a lot more kids more talented than theirs...say AAU basketball and you travel to tournaments with much better athletes and talent.

The starting line in life is not the same for everybody. I am sure when PJ talks about the right fit he has criteria. Experience has taught him what works most often...I just speculated that two parent families might be preferred? DT has a father in prison...one size doesn't fit all. Just...

I also coached AAU basketball ....had nearly 40 kids get offered scholarships through a lot of phone calls...only a couple of those were major DI schools. This was in four or five summers. I would say the majority of those parents thought they were parent of the year because they spent the...

Aren't you the prize...your intuition meter is off by a very long ways. Your perception is even worse but you keep bashing people if it helps you get through the day. My Dad is my hero! He accomplished more during his lifetime as a teacher, coach and parent than anyone who entered my life...

I think you give parents too much credit. I maintain very few parents even know who their kid is. When parents find out in a specific instance what PJ's view point is...because it is relayed back at some point in a family disagreement...then the fireworks begin. They disagree with PJ. In most...

Two solutions: 1. Enroll someone new after Christmas...somebody from Europe who is suddenly available, eligible and very talented. OR, somebody who maybe was recovering from injury and wasn't healthy this fall and therefore didn't have offers they liked but is anxious to play now...and...

Is it?

Beating Wisconsin alone is almost a B by itself. Finishing 5 and 4 in an 18 team Big Ten drags it to a B for me. Kicking Nebraska was also satisfying. Yes, losing to Cal and NW are PJ traits....coulda pretty easily been 9 and 3, so it's frustrating but... If I said C it would be because we...
