So, what is your interpretation? Who is it? Some of us don't have high speed Internet and/or can't get on X.

Powell was not drafted and neither was Scalia.

Some mock drafts had Sara Scalia getting drafted in the third round. She did not get drafted. I wonder if the Lynx will sign her for a tryout?

That was 20 years ago. Recruitment has changed from local to national to international. Successful teams now are drawing players from a wide geographic area. I first got interested in women's basketball when I was at Texas Tech. I watched the Lady Raiders win the national championship in...

You are partly right that non-athletes can transfer at any time. However, non-athletes are very constrained because they would lose scholarship monies and they would lose time towards graduation. Many schools allocate most of their scholarship monies to incoming freshmen and not much to transfer...

I think Shaff is firmly entrenched as setter. I think Stella could see considerable time in the back row given her passing skills. And, I hope Stella gives Shaff some relief as setter so Shaff doesn't wear down during long matches and the long season. Shaff was an iron woman last season.

I would give them a C. They deserve a B for part of the season and a D for the other part, which averages to a C. They are an excellent mid-major team. I don’t think there is enough upside potential with the current roster to make them a great Power Five team. I think they need to recruit a...

Uffda. They were so slow. No ball movement. They catch the ball and think, and think, and think until all options are gone. St. Louis had an excellent game plan. I am not sure that Minnesota had a game plan. Fortunately, only Minnesota and St. Louis fans saw this game.

Bob, recruit some players who like to play defense. We have enough players who want to score a lot so they get bigger contracts in the NHL. And, recruit a goalie who doesn't lose his focus.

It is a difference in recruiting. It is the Lake Wobegon effect--all our children are above average. We are slow in transitioning from the "We can win with all Minnesota kids" to realizing that hockey is becoming more national and international and there are a lot of outstanding hockey players...

Nice to get the win. They should be guaranteed to finish the season no worse than .500. That is a little progress.

You can't lose two starters with a shallow bench and expect a team to be super competitive. You can't make players suddenly into 3-point shooters or make shooters good at driving to the basket. But, there must be something that they can focus on and get better at like passing or defense.

Great win. Good all-around play. It would be wonderful if yesterday was a wakeup call and the Gophers play at this level the rest of the season.

Good win today. The game was a rumble.

Friday's game was excellent. Two piping hot goalies. Outstanding effort by both teams. Playing UMD is like playing a tournament game. Good preparation for the tournaments. I hope the Gophers can lift their games a notch for the tournaments. Go Gophers.

Tough loss. Gophers left a lot on the ice yesterday and the Badger played like some pressure was off today. Gophers played hard but just did not connect on opportunities. They need to remain positive and continue to improve. They can make a good run in the tournaments.

Gophers needed that win. Good all around play. I hope they can build on today's success and forget the bad games.

Excellent game between two top teams. Lot's of great plays. Tough to lose. Gophers needed to recoup for tomorrow and keep improving for the tournaments.

I don't equate Impact Player and Leader. They could be the same but sometimes are not. A Leader is a player who fosters team chemistry, inspires the team with their work ethic, energy, and spirit, encourages teammates, helps teammates adjust to college and basketball, sets good examples, etc...

We have a bunch of good young players. What we lack is an Impact Player; i.e., a player that can put the team on her back and/or lift the team when it is really needed; a player with lots of dimensions to her game and can beat you more than one way depending on what is or isn't working. We...
