11 of the top 28 teams listed are in the Big Ten. It is really cool we are slotted at #3 among Big Ten teams but it's hard to feel real comfortable with all those good teams right behind us. Pretty exciting to be in the position of being chased by 15 of the other conference teams. We are not...

Agree with all you have said except for the last two words..."no reason". On paper, Big Ten Standings Outlook thread on Gopherhole....the Gophers at best slot in at #13 for the coming season. We are totally counting on Niko to be a miracle worker. We have a roster of guys who have to get...

At least, hopefully it now continues to stand out as major emphasis #1 to fix in fall camp. Gotta get better O-Line play. Maybe there were some starting O-Line members who didn't participate today or did so sparingly?? It ain't the RB's.

GG, Braun, Battle, and McKinney. All are excellent Gophers...just me...I'm not ranking Braun as the 4th best Gopher. And I doubt many opponents scouting reports do either.

I know, golly, the nerve, the complete audacity, the gall that someone might have a different opinion than you. And on a message board, no less. Disgusting.

Yes and no in basketball. They keep switching coaches. In 24-25 they finished in 2nd place at 14 and 6. Coach leaves late and they are late to the portal with the new coach, guys get hurt and they were woeful in Buzz's first year. But he has a record of taking teams to the tournament as i...

Yup, I agree with everything you said. However, like I said, if he plays meaningful minutes in 26-27 either he blew up, which ya, is possible, or several other guys are unable to perform. We are in the Big Ten...and we are counting on an awful lot of guys who have "potential". That's all.

Yes, hopefully there is competition for spots but to be third or fourth he has to beat out Evans, Asuma, Grady and the new unnamed transfer portal guard....then is Groves playing guard? I think he is before Shinholster. That would be 5 guys and we are assuming Tomes isn't in the competition or...

Top 25 Big Ten From the Seattle Times....their Big Ten Conference Predictions I agree with the writer...the bottom 6 are way harder to predict. Tough to get higher than 13 for those teams, I think. But, for teams 13 through 18, are they 18 or 13 ? ... or any combination in between? Top 12 in...

BIG TEN 2026-27 Conference Standings Predictions (April 21, 2026) From ESPN, Fox, USA, The Athletic, SI, ON3, Yahoo, CBS Top 25 in the Country early Predictions and a couple others I pulled out the Big Ten ranked teams in those polls and made my own prediction. #1 Illinois ( 2, 8, 1, 1, 4, 3, 6...

Guys! It is 2026. We have NIL and the transfer portal in this era. The rules are you get 15 scholarships but you can't afford 15 quality players. On top of it most coaches don't want 15 guys who are capable of warranting playing time and the whining that would follow. But, for practice when...

We are among the big boys in transfer portal rankings. :)

Cade Tyson played in Portsmouth. He averaged 11.7 ppg. They had 10 guys on the All Tournament team, Tyson was not one of them. Totally guessing...if they had a third team he may have been on it.

Yup, i'd say that is a great summary! I agree with you.

McCarville was awesome, no argument there. I have not actually seen Merkle play...just going on stats. Guessing you are 100% correct.

Ah, yes, thank you...coming back now...broke her wrist or sprained it real bad...had a cast...amirite?

So, when I pondered your entry I had to look at the Final Four season. (2003-04) We barely got into the NCAA Tournament. Definitely did not remember we finished in 6th place in the conference. We did win our first game in the conference tournament but lost our second....also underwhelming...

We are all speculating and hoping we are going on a magical run. I have a different take...I wouldn't be surprised if Harmon is our best guard. And you are right...we have a bunch of candidates. I think Harmon is the quickest ball handler of the group and probably has the most swagger...
