We were very thin in actual backcourt players even before Willis got hurt. Niko is likely to look into Kyan Evans, CSU shooter, who struggled at N. Carolina. I think many fans maybe overlooking the physicality, defense, and late game offense Reynolds brought us. Some will say Asuma can be...

Illinois huge lineup was unable to guard UConn off screens, numerous open three’s. They dont have a third real guard for defense. Michigan has everything, but will Yaxel be anywhere near 100%

I really liked I. Johnson-Arigu when I saw him for Totino. 6-7 215 very athletic and strong enough to play either forward spot. Depending on who Niko can bring in, only have Durkin and Nolen Anderson who might be able to guard 3's next year. Arigu might give us what Omot wasn't healthy enough...

In reality a team that wants to finish in the top 6-7 teams most years and be in the tournament, needs to have at least 2 or more guys who can do this? So, yes I agree Asuma can do some of this. But he is smaller and less athletic than Reynolds. Niko didn't have more than one of these types of...

Drake might be able to run a 5 sec 40 with a little work. So pedestrian, but not the worst ever.

People who don't realize how important Reynolds is to this team is beyond me. Yes he forces things and sometimes looks bad. But next year if we don't replace him, good luck having someone late in games able to drive it for a decent shot or to get to the free throw line. Many games he was the...

Not all teams with one and done's do well. It's also about having veteran role players willing to play their roles and buy in.

I think a priority for his present and his future, he should watch tapes of Ben Rothlesberger, and work on evading a rush by using good footwork in the pocket. Ben was big and didn't have any speed, but he could maneuver so well in the pocket.

I don't love Durkin at the three defensively, but what can you do? He really improved on that end. And his rebounding isn't at a PF level. Love him on offense. I guess the other issue, is overall post size with teams like Purdue, Michigan, and Illinois in our conference.

I love Asuma, I am an Iron Ranger. But I would prefer another taller/bigger wing be brought in. It is nice to have Asuma, but I'm not having him guard a true 3. PG Willis, Asuma, Tomes SG Asuma, , **transfer, Shinholster SF **Transfer, Anderson? PF JCJ, Durkin, Grove C Vaihola, JCJ...

You are just witnessing a pretty good anomally. Most years it's at least one of the top 2 seeds in the final. Enjoy this year, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

11th in conf record at 8-12. 15-17 overall. What the gophers were good at this year? Ball movement, backdoor cuts, improved 3 pt shooting, high assist to low turnovers. Bad rebounding team, we tried hard. Played defense very well with what we had by the end of the season. What Tyson...

Anyone else sick of Private schools dominating in Class 3. It seems almost every year just give the champ to Totino (3 of the last 4) or DeLaSalle (8 times in the 2000's). Can't they be made to play up to 4A, where they won't be blowing out all the public schools. Same with Minnehaha...

In addition to Tyson and Reynolds, graduating SR's.

Wow major upset!

Again people are sleeping on the undefeated Tartan team, that already won at Maple Grove!

Glad he is moving on and not taking up a scholarship. We were horribly thin, with a new coach, and horrible injury luck. It just shows how important those end of the bench scholarships can be.

It seems like most top 10 teams, have a 6-4/6-5 center. They have a long 6-3/6-4 PF type. They then have a quick pg of varying heights, and a couple of wings in the 6-6'1" range. They also have a bench. Ohio st. has 3 super athlete's 5-7 to 5-9 at the guards, a 6-6 Post, and a 6-4 pf, who...

Gopher women are having a great season. My wife is a Hawkeye, so I have watched a top tier program quite often. While I hope the gopher women could beat any team outside the top 4, nobody outside Minnesota would say that. They won't be playing at home. The team is missing some quickness and...

Iowa’s best guard is 5-4 Chit Chat Wright. Gophers need a true pg who can create off the dribble. They also need more lengthy and athletic post players.
