    He also made 51 3's his senior year. Not a small number. Get him learning behind Bobby Durkin for a couple years. Bobby was 6'7" 195 in HS and made 78 3's his senior year which was a school record. Now he is 6'7" 220. Seeing that we reached out to Cade Tyson as well (6'7" 200 lbs, 60 3PT...

    I’m not arguing that Lubbock is exotic. To an 18 year old it might. Especially when they just made the Elite Eight. I have driven through there and that was enough to give me a sense of it haha.

    Oh for sure. I'm saying that may be his perception because it is far away and different. I've lived in 7 different states now but growing up we didn't really ever leave MN, and I went to college in-state (Morris and the U of M). I still remember what it felt like moving to a new city for my...

    If you’ve lived in MN your whole life I can see how a warm sunny state far away can seem like it is exotic and interesting while the hometown school just down the street is not.

    This will come off as sour grapes but when I checked his Twitter I was surprised at how he pretty much had only retweeted Mr. Basketball content the last few months, including retweets of people campaigning for him. Then he commits before his MN visit he scheduled. That combined with hearing he...

    Niko’s roster construction

    I have mentally filed him and RolandBrooks as guys who sometimes have insider info. Petermac is on probation/time out.

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    Haha I was thinking about him…but at least he missed 2 seasons due to injury. On that note I think we will see a lot more guys medically redshirt as well like Tyler Cochran or BJ Omot (not sure when he could have come back but saw some speculation he shut it down to preserve a year of...

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    This guy graduated HS in 2019 and will turn 26 in-season. This will be his 7th year out of HS. 2019-2020: Post grad year in Ohio 2020-2021: Duquesne 2021-2022: San Diego State 2022-2023: NW Florida State 2023-2025: Auburn 2025-2026: ? I wonder if we see more guys do post-grad years and JUCOs...

    2025-26 Gopher Mens Basketball Roster

    I’m a Morris alum. I had a fantastic experience in their chemistry department. And yes, we certainly had to make our own fun, there was little to nothing going on in that town. Now that I have spent most of the last 15 years out West, I kinda wish I had gone to college in the middle of nowhere...

    2025-26 Gopher Mens Basketball Roster

    Sounds like he can spend a year learning from Langston Reynolds then take over his sophomore year.

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    Sounds like he would be a nice pickup from the scratch and dent section. He went from an 86% to a 56% free throw shooter, which tells me there was maybe some kind of mental block going on unless the ACC has way better free throw defense than MVC basketball. At 6’7” 200 lbs he made 3.1 3PT per...

    All Things 2024-25 College Basketball Coach Fired/Hired/Retired Thread

    Kinda sad, the press release spends 8 paragraphs expounding on his accomplishments at Richmond (in two separate stints) as well as at Princeton and his USAF college ball career. All it says about the Gophers is that he "most recently worked as an assistant coach with Minnesota out of the Big Ten...

    New defensive coordinator Danny Collins wants ‘HAVOC’

    All the coach speak is starting to grate on me. Mark Coil needs to step in soon, otherwise the fans will be venting their frustrations.

    Evans commits to North Carolina

    What if I told you guys there was a way to make a thread look like this. I don't know what this guy is spewing, have no idea why I ignored him in the first place, but it feels great:

    SJSU center Robert Vaihola commits to Gophers!!

    Here are a couple of assists from the USC game which I picked since he had 5 assists in this one against a high major. One is a kickout off a drive for a 3, the other is him rocketing a skip pass from the opposite baseline for a corner 3. He's got good vision. Looking forward to him kicking it...

    SJSU center Robert Vaihola commits to Gophers!!

    I'm intrigued by the passing. He averaged 2.9 assists per 40 minutes. He doesn't shoot 3's at all but if he can keep the ball moving that is important in Niko's offense. For reference, the per 40 minute assist rates for our squad: Odukale: 4.9 Patterson: 3.9 Mitchell 3.5 Asuma: 3.4 Garcia: 2.3...

    Evans commits to North Carolina

    Frankly, I’m surprised that UNC appeared to make him a priority. He would’ve been a solid get for us, but I would have thought he would be plan C for them with their Blue Blood status and available cash. I will be interested to see what kind of role he has on their team next year.
