How do we get players? Two potential Gopher candidates matched up recently when VCU defeated Colorado State. Both Ryan Odom and Niko Medved have teams that are very Senior heavy in terms of production. Odom has a shot at making the NCAA's, while Medved appears to have a team that will finish...

There are so many jobs that are worse than Minnesota and many more that are not demonstrably better. People have very short memories. When Tubby was the coach, most of us laughed at the idea of him leaving for Auburn as was rumored at the end of his 2nd or 3rd year. When Tubby was fired here...

Losing Lindenberg is going to hurt. I hope we can find a Gibbens type transfer LB in the portal.

Happy we were able to keep Hetherman, this seems like the bare minimum that administration/bor can do after losing multiple coordinators to other Big Ten schools in recent years. It's one thing to lose a guy to be the DC at Texas or Georgia and its a whole other thing to lose guys to Michigan...

There was a cool moment where Amir appeared to congratulate Cam on his first NBA bucket when a timeout was called shortly after his dunk. Amir has been having a nice season for the surprising Clippers. At times its felt like his NBA career was hanging on by a thread and now he might get a...

I used to cheer for Georgetown years ago. For college sports (and for me that's just football and basketball), my overall interests really wanes when the Gophers are not competitive. I'll watch big games and the tournament, but if I have a rooting interest it is mostly for an upset.

I think this is interesting. Not necessarily pro Beilein, but I don't thing age should be a consideration at all in who we hire next. We know in this era of basketball, things change on a year to year basis so worrying about 5 years from now is pointless. Minnesota has to get out of the...

This is what drives me crazy about the Ben Johnson "good guy" stuff. I won't pretend to know if he's a good guy or not, but I do know he's taken zero accountability for his terrible record through 3.5 seasons. Much more accomplished coaches have come out and publicly apologized to fanbases for...

We will see if it happens, but I think it's the best possible move that can be made now. Miami (OH) was more competitive with Indiana a couple nights ago than the Gophers were tonight. I am skeptical of the assistants on this staff, but the ugly performances have piled up to the point where I...

Crazy how little attention recruiting gets now with the portal season right around the corner. I still think it's crucially important for the Gophers to do well in high school recruiting and feel like we fell short in this cycle in terms of both National ranking and just looking at the offer...

Grabbed him after Marshall flipped to GaTech today. He was scheduled to visit the second week of the "Summer Splash" but his visit was cancelled when they filled up at RB. Didn't appear to have any other big offers (at least that were currently commitable) when the Gophers re-offered a...

They absolutely need to add someone to that QB room. It's not like Drake was this highly coveted QB recruit that has to play or else someone else will take him. If he wins the job great, but he's got less of a pedigree than Athan had in terms of a recruiting profile when he was handed the job...

I think it's a good time to bring this back up. Minnesota, Marquette, and Iowa State all opened up at the same time 3 plus seasons ago. Minnesota and Marquette had nearly identical recent situations with Pitino and Wojo. Iowa State was even worse than Minnesota is currently. Tonight...

I am concerned that with a team full of guys in their last year of college basketball this could get even uglier. There was not a lot of fight tonight and you think they would be jacked to play their first B1G game at home against MSU. I don't want to see what the effort looks like if this team...

I think this is probably our best chance. It's a massive problem that we didn't add more size and athleticism at the guard/wing spots. Odukale is the only guy who can even masquerade as a 3 on the roster. I'll be interested to see if Cochran's defensive skills in the MAC translate to this...

The best time for a termination would be after the Indiana game which would likely mean an announcement next Tuesday. That would allow ten practice days before FDU to kind of reset for the meat of conference play. We'd have two home buy games (FDU and Morgan State) and then get Purdue at home...

I'd be pretty surprised if Ersery played. The next group is Daniel Jackson and both starting corners who I could see opting out to train for the combine/avoid injury. Then you have Lindenberg and Joyner who have "stay or go" decisions.

The Minnesota/Florida semi is the real championship game.

I was trying to come up with a Max comparison for the next level. It seems likes he's Nick Mullens size with Alex Smith's play style. I'd be surprised if he has the arm strength to get drafted, but it seems possible he could make a practice squad as a free agent. I think Max could make a...

Have you seen Washington or USC play? Both ranked below the Gophers on KenPom. I haven't checked this week, but last week BartTorvik still had the Gophers projected as 7-13 in the Big Ten. I've seen some ugly box scores from Northwestern, Nebraska, and Rutgers. I am not watching much college...
