    Durkin is back

    Nailed it. Just by keeping guys fresh, we could score 5 more points per game and defend 5 points better (on average).

    Durkin is back

    He can't score at all three levels like Tyson, but every team needs a sniper from deep and a clutch FT shooter!

    Jaylen Crocker Johnson is COMING BACK!

    It's wild how much he improved once guys got hurt and the competition stiffened. So huge to have this much production locked in for 26/27!

    Shama: Medved Expects ‘Large Number’ of Returnees to Gophers

    I love this assessment. Well done, and I agree. I'd also argue Asuma's floor is way higher than Reynolds. When Reynolds was off, it was really ugly with tons of ill-advised turnovers. I think Asuma is close enough to some of Reynolds' strengths but so much better in other areas, it would be a...

    Shama: Medved Expects ‘Large Number’ of Returnees to Gophers

    Does anybody else feel strongly that instead of: "How are we going to replace Tyson?" "How are we going to replace Reynolds?" If Niko has 9 guys he trusts to play, it will take care of itself. I feel like a lot of the Iron 5's flaws were mostly just from playing too many minutes. There should...

    Shama: Medved Expects ‘Large Number’ of Returnees to Gophers

    Curious why you grouped Lorenson in? Niko seemed high on him, IIRC, and the redshirt bought him some time to get bigger and stronger.

    BJ Omot to enter the transfer portal

    I don't think that's necessarily the consensus. I saw him play in the exhibitions, and he didn't look "right." I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that something was ailing him or failed to heal properly. Seems like a great kid, and I'm sure he wanted to be out there. I think it's more of a...

    BJ Omot to enter the transfer portal

    I think he'd be great in the booth with Parker Fox.

    I think this year is the last year we’ll view Grove as a ‘role player.’ He will explode into another rung next year.

    All Things 2026 Transfer Portal Thread

    Niko/The Gophers have much more leverage than at this time last year, IMO. I expect to hear similar news for most of the other serially injured guys (excluding JCJ). I do hope that Vaihola sticks around. He looked like a really good fit for the system and was the best screener. I also...

    Turner no longer a Gopher

    I thought it was an ominous sign when Freitag was in high school and would post his game stats and highlight tapes on social media. There was never any mention about how the TEAM did. That said, he was a kid, so I cut him some slack. I don’t really have an opinion on him being a gopher. I will...

    All Things 2026 Transfer Portal Thread

    100%. I’ve been adamant we owe the injured guys nothing. They made a lot of money, and didn’t pan out. Unless they’re willing to take a pay cut to get another impact player or two, cut them lose, and go get guys that are certified difference makers. The whole “Omot could be an ‘x’ factor” ship...

    Gophers’ season over? Men’s basketball wait and see on postseason options

    If we're invited, it probably comes down to whether JCJ can play. If no, pass. If yes, take a run at it with a 7-man rotation.

    ***OFFICIAL RUTGERS VS MINNESOTA BIG TEN TOURNAMENT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I always joked with my circle that there are 4-Star recruits and then there are Gopher 4-stars. The other team gets a 4* that lives up to the rating. Case & Point: Former Pitnio recruit Tre' Williams was a 4* (you may not even remember him). Terrance Shannon Jr. was ranked a few spots behind...

    Roland is paying for the premium services. In all seriousness, loved the bracket projections by SS. I’ve missed it this year.

    ***OFFICIAL RUTGERS VS MINNESOTA BIG TEN TOURNAMENT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I wanted a post-season opportunity just because I love the grit of these guys. I think they deserve it, especially if they can make some extra $. But selfishly, as a fan, there's not a ton of upside in playing more games. We know what we've got with the young guys; we won't make a run with how...

    ***OFFICIAL RUTGERS VS MINNESOTA BIG TEN TOURNAMENT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Is it just me, or is this the first game in a while where we really did a bad job at controlling the pace? I feel like we've been trying to run with Rutgers. And everyone is out of sorts because of it.
