    Yahoo article way too early 2027 NFL draft top 25 Prospects; look at number 24.

    24. Drake Lindsey, QB, Minnesota Lindsey is the classic quarterback archetype of the big-armed pocket passer in the vein of Drew Bledsoe. Listed at 6-5 and 230 pounds, Lindsey is willing and able to stand and deliver the football in the (constantly) muddy pockets he has to deal with behind...

    Sports Illustrated facebook article on Isiah Johnson-Arigu and making the case the gophers should be interested.

    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...

    Bobby Durkin appreciation post!

    I just love how well Durkin is playing right now! Not only is his 3 pt shot really falling, but his defense hasn't been a weakness. In the last 4 games: 16 ppg, 23-37 overall, 14-27 from 3, 5-5 at the free throw line. He has only 5 fouls total. I thought we would have trouble with our...

    All Things Ahmed Nur, Hopkins 2027 Recruitment Thread

    Ahmed is developing fast. He is rated the #42 in the nation for 2027, #6 PF. He is long and athletic and a defensive force, he can dribble some and hit the outside shot. Listed at 6-9 200 lbs, but he looks 2 inches taller than Nolen Anderson. Great game of Hopkins at Wayzata. Nur had...

    Jaylen Crocker-Johnson appreciation post!

    JCJ has really upped his scoring the last 3 big ten games with 20 vs Wisc., 22 at Illinois, and 26 most recently at Ohio St. He has now raised his scoring from 9.0 ppg and 4.4 reb, to 14.1 ppg and 7.1 rebounds. He is definitely one of the top centers in the league, and he is undersized and...

    Next year's scholarships

    Next Year: PG: Willis, Asuma, Tomes SG: Asuma, Kai S. SF: Portal?, N. Anderson PF: JCJ , Durkin, Grove C: Vailhola, JCJ, Mpoyi I really think they need a good scoring wing, who is also athletic and strong, to replace some of what Reynolds brought 6-5+, over 200lbs. Of course, if Niko...

    Perry Thompson WR Auburn

    Perry was the 38th best overall prospect in '23, 8th best WR. 6-3 220 and a former fast track guy. Auburn ran for just as many as they threw, so he didn't put up a ton as a sophmore. He could be a great get. Rated 9.0 on 247 transfers.

    North Dakota exhibition

    North Dakota lost 4 starters from last year, including bigtime scorer Eaglestaff, who moved on to West Virginia. This team isn't going to finish high in the Summit. If we don't crush this team it's a worry. On a fun note, there are lots of Mn high schoolers on N. Dakota. SR Eli King from...

    Keys against Iowa

    Keys to beat Iowa: You cannot beat yourself. Stick with the run, even if we are getting 1 or 2 yards per carry. Try some screens and quick slants. You have to slow down there pass rush, make them "look" for other things. Make them send extra players to get a pass rush. Iowa loads the box and...

    CBS Sports Grading rosters of first-year coaches article.

    Minnesota, Niko Medved Minnesota's Year 1 success under Medved will hinge, in part, on how a couple of 3-point shooting forwards translate. Davidson transfer Bobby Durkin ranked sixth in the Atlantic 10 last season in 3-point attempts per game at 7.8 and hit 35.5% of them. Fellow 6-foot-7...

    Curtis twins at St. Louis Park, how good are they?

    Anyone see the Curtis Twins at St. Louis Park and wonder why they are going mid major to UND? 6-9 230lb guys who play some point guard, can shoot from distance, score inside. Athletic with College ready bodies. I've only seen them on youtube playing Wayzata and Hopkins.

    Why can’t we run the ball?

    We lost 1 starter at Center Nathan Boe. The rest are returning starters. Has the system drastically changed ? We went from being one of the best rushing teams in all of college, to one of the worst in the b1g?

    The Fox is on the loose!

    Can anyone explain why one would give Ihnen more minutes than Fox! The only skill Ihnen has that’s better is streaky 3 pt shooting. Fox is a better rebounder, defender, and passer. I mean maybe you play Fox with Garcia, and Ihnen with Payne, to have 1 post who can shoot.

    Jack Robison 6-6 so Lakeville North

    I have only seen him online, but he was pretty impressive in both games. Reminds me of Tyler Wahl at the same age, with a better jump shot. Any thought?

    This team is fun to watch!

    I am not sure how we will finish compared to last year. But I really like watching this team. Having a true PG who can finish, find shooters, and compete. A true multi talented post with length. Surrounded by lots of complimentary players who know their roles. Other than when we are...

    Some ESPN + Love for Oturu.

    Ranking the top 25 players in college basketball 2 months in. Oturu is #4. Not sure Carr isn't just outside the top 25 too. The most underrated stat for post players might be minutes, and that's where Oturu really shines. It's all well and good that his numbers look impressive across the...

    Upcomming game at Utah.

    Interesting to see Both Gach the 6-6 athlete from Austin as the 2nd leading scorer for Utah thus far. He is the long type athlete on the primeter that might have looked good on our roster as a wing with size and length.
