Yup, which is why I question this article! I was sure Durkin would be starting and playing big minutes right off the bat. I had high hopes for Cade Tyson too but I never thought he would turn into a 20 PPG stud.

I have to assume this was researched and written by AI for them to think Gizzi "held his own" and then also mention he didn't score the entire season until the finale during garbage time. Also I don't think Bobby Durkin "surpassed all expectations". Here's a tweet from Tony Liebert where he...

I feel the same way -- I don't really follow basketball outside of the Gophers, and I have no interest in hearing about every one of these thousands of players in the portal. I like hearing if they are Minnesotans, former Gophers or guys we recruited at one point like Dennis Evans, or even...

Looks like he didn't break the starting lineup until January. Had his best game of the year against Virginia Tech, scoring 25 points on 3/8 3PT shooting and 4/5 FT shooting. Having a big man that can be a consistent threat would be really nice. When Grove had the green light to launch a couple...

They have a 6’10” 206lb guy who scores 7 ppg and a 6’9” 220 lb guy who scores 8 ppg in their rotation. They play 7 guys. Out of their 7 rotation players, 5 have played all 32 games, one played 31, and one played 27. Incredibly healthy!

Maybe I'm thinking about this too much but if I was a highly regarded recruit, I would strongly consider going to a successful mid/low-major program as a freshman. You can be the star, develop your game, and then you will be a super hot commodity in the transfer portal and can see what school...

If Bobby Durkin was hurt in November like Chansey Willis, his season stat line would look like this: 33% FG, 30% 3PT, 78% FT. Instead he had a 44% FG, 40% 3PT, 87.5% FT. What would the buzz on the board be about Bobby if he had been injured at a similar time? My concern is Willis did not look...

People make fun of the "one of us" angle in recruiting transfers etc. What that position ignores is that we can oftentimes sign players for cheaper/garner interest from players who would otherwise not have any interest in us. Guys like Dawson Garcia who ended up being a cornerstone player for...

Any chance your kid can head to a Badger clinic next fall?

Would love to hear him talk about this in context. Otherwise this just sounds generic -- who is gonna say they want to get smaller and shallower? Edit: Thanks for sharing, I watched the clip and I don't think hear it as "we need another big man". If Vaihola returns, he will likely be expecting...

Haha funny thing when I typed it I told mysef "it's Groves, not Grove, don't screw it up!" If Nolan Groves transfers here, it will be a level of confusion not seen since the Hollins brothers days.

I don't understand why everybody says we need a post. We've got Vaihola and Groves coming back. JCJ can play center in a pinch, and frankly I liked the way the offense worked when he was in there and a threat to score from 3. And we have a freshman in Mpoyi coming in. So what do we have to sell...

Hubert Davis had that reverse Meidas touch

I think it is also worth noting the trajectory that Kyan Evans was on. Benchwarmer as a freshman, shot 41% and 30% from 3PT. Was peaking in February and March as a sophomore. Shot 6/9 3PT and scored 23 points with 4 assists and no turnovers against Memphis to get them to that Maryland game. If...

In his second season at Colorado State, freshmen Isaiah Stevens and David Roddy were his best players. He developed them into the juniors that saw them finish the season ranked #24 and make 6 seed in the tourney. Then when David Roddy left early, he replaced his production by progression from...

To replace Tyson we just need to find a guy who averaged 2.6 points on 29% 3PT shooting. He will be tough to replace but it seems like people think we need to get a proven big time scorer in the portal. We will have guys progress, as well as take some guys with potential to grow their roles/be...

I’ve been seeing this sour grapes sentiment. Maybe I missed it…did BJ lie to our staff about his injury/recovery? Is he healthy but refusing to play?

Same experience with Dan Coleman and Kris Humphries

Payton Willis came back here after a coaching change. But yes it’s very rare!

What a fun game. I kept thinking we would go cold and not be able to keep up with them. Great to see them scrap and fight for the W.
