While it is nice to keep the top talent at home, we have to define where this talent fits in on the national scene, and need to also focus on players from other areas of the country. We need to compare the players not just to Minnesota talent, but to their whole class. If you look at the teams...

Grace is HOT tonight, both with her shooting and her rebounding. And her defense is completely on key.

After seeing people commenting that Johnson needed more time, I watched her last night. Yes she can shoot, (albeit against the level of talent that we saw last night), but she does not consistently help create for others. And she lost her person on defense several times in the limited minutes...

Sophie has applied for a waiver, the circumstances of which are between her and the NCAA.

No, they often go on the floor during official visits.

Last year, I know that quite a few people bought season tickets just to get access to the Iowa and UConn games. With no Caitlin Clark effect this year, it was a harder sell. So these numbers for this year are good!

My sources said that it only went to single overtime, and that we lost by two points.

However, I think this year they will have more experienced talent on the bench. If we can keep the top three players healthy, we should be able to cover short injury or illness outages, if they happen.

She tracked TKO’s at South Dakota, and it really motivated the girls to try to get them. That is one of the things that made them one of the top defensive teams in the nation.

The Gophers will host Jackson State on Wednesday, December 11th.

Perhaps Coach P sees something in her that could be developed by working with Ariel, Aaron, and Jason. I believe they are great developers of bigs.

North Tartan has a history of this. They really like to focus on “genes”, especially daughters of former players, often to the detriment of other players on the team. And then these players barely make a ripple when they get to college…. A few years ago, several top players ended up on the Fury...

It might be a dead period as far as contact, but there are still AAU tournaments, including the Minnesota State AAU tournament starting today in Bloomington, and coaches will be at them. They just can’t talk to anybody.

I think it’s a great move for her. It comes with a 200% salary increase, a bigger conference, and other perks. A nice move up the ladder. I have heard from several people that she’s a wonderful coach to play for, respected by her players.

No, not SDSU 😱 - she took USD to the Sweet 16 in 2022. We also had a team in 2020 that was ranked #17 in the AP poll, and #12 in the Coaches poll. Who knows what we could have done if the tournament hadn’t been canceled. And all of this was done with players that were not recruited by power...

I posted this on another thread as well. There is a lot of talk currently on social media about collectives, which can go after players during the season and not have to let the player’s current coach know they are talking to them. This talk is used in reference to Iriafen at Stanford, but also...

There is a lot of talk currently on social media about collectives, which can go after players during the season and not have to let the player’s current coach know they are talking to them. This talk is used in reference to Iriafen at Stanford, but also saying that it is happening all over the...

A lot of the so-called experts have Minnesota taking Puoch, from Australia, if Edwards is not available. She is 6’2” and can handle the ball and herself pretty well. I like her a lot more than anybody else available, and I definitely do not want Reese! We don’t need her attitude problems.

That was definitely a foul on Edwards. She lifted her elbow up into the oncoming defender. They missed a few falls on UConn in the first half, where Iowa should have been shooting free throws. In the second half it was more evenly called, with a few misses on each team. But the shove on the Iowa...
