    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...

    Big Ten Basketball 2026-27 Standings Outlook

    Your so right. Most of the fab teams that Kentucky and Duke have had don't usually get there unless they are combined with a few veteran role players willing to do the dirty work. Or sometimes, in Kentucky and North Carolina's case, all athletic players but sometimes no great 3 pt shooters...

    Winters Grady Commits to the Gophers!

    Anyone surprised, they got rid of the GM, but the scouts and coaches are the same. Most places gave the vikings a D or an F on taking him at 18. Some teams had him at 40 with his injuries.

    Malick Kordel Commits

    I am expecting something like 4 ppg, 4 reb, 1 blk per game from Kordel. I will take anything more. Whether Niko wants that from him starting or off the bench, we will see. I also liked the look of small ball with JCJ shooting 3's from the center spot, moving the opposing big out of the...

    All Things 2026 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    Besides having better luck with less injuries, the thing I really want to see change from is KOC. Having an absolute great runner in Murray, will he roll him out and use his legs? Will we ever run quick slant passes or more screens to the rb's? My nightmare is a 5-10 QB forced to stay in a...

    All Things 2026 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    Teams don't want to trade away next year's picks. Everyone expects next years draft will be talented and deep. Greenyard wanted to be paid like the 15 sacks a season guys. He gets hurries, but those are way less impactful than sacks. Sacks force third and longs, and sometimes picks. I think...

    RandBall: As transfer portals close, Gophers basketball is thriving

    Anderson is a skilled perimeter forward with extreme gravity from behind the arc. He shot 45% from three during the 3SSB season, including a whopping 50% on unguarded catch-and-shoot threes, and 90% at the free-throw line. He also has a feel for the game to really thrive in offensive structure...

    All Things 2026 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    After an injury filled year for the vikings from qb injuries, to offensive lineman, and the firing of a GM for poor QB and draft decisions, they pick an injured player, who played 3 games for Florida last year. Oh, and he reinjured it at the combine. ! 330 lb man with a repeated fractured foot...

    Big Ten Basketball 2026-27 Standings Outlook

    I would put Mn at 11 ahead of Maryland and Ohio St. 3 returning starters. Maryland will possibly be better by January with all the new players. The bottom 5 have little hope on paper. Probably the biggest superstar losses for the big ten in some time. Frist team: Yaxel, Wagler, and...

    Big Ten Basketball 2026-27 Standings Outlook

    Illinois had a nice run. Having a huge team paid dividends, until they played an experienced team in UConn. Illinois big players could not guard them off curl screens. They ended up trading 2 pts inside and giving up 3 on the other end. I would have tried to recruit more smaller athletic...

    RandBall: As transfer portals close, Gophers basketball is thriving

    Anyone surprised Niko went with young, unproven players in 3 of his transfer pickups, with the outlier being his former player in Sr to be Evans? Shows he is confident in his system, and if the players are healthy, they are likely to stick around. I like it for the long-term potential more...

    Kai Shinholster back

    He was horribly skinny and likely would haven't had seen time on a deeper team as a freshmen. He would have been on a protein shake and weight lifting program. Listed at 175 as a freshman. Hopefully he can play at 185 or more this year. He has some length on the perimeter, an ok handle, and...

    Gopher-centric Portal Short List

    I know some will disagree. But the offensive potential of our team is looking very good. Lots of shooters, some that can create a bit, and what looks like good depth. We weren't the most athletic team last year, and I don't see great athleticism in the newcomers. What Reynolds provided in...

    In the spirit of overanalysis

    Are we going to have to return to an RPO offense to get a good running game, and quick passes?

    Nolan Groves Commits to the Gophers!

    Hopefully this commit is joined by another guard shooter/scorer, a big man, and at least one athlete who can play and defend wings.

    Nolan Groves Commits to the Gophers!

    Of last year's roster, possibly only Tyson would have a chance to start at Texas Tech last year. The roster was so much better than ours, and definitely twice as athletic.

    Gopher-centric Portal Short List

    Isiah Elohim 6-5-215 Wing, will be a jr. Has the size, and it sounds like the athleticism to give us some of what Reynolds did. Former #69 player in his class, who commited to USC. 47% Fg, 66% FT, 37 %from 3. He made 39 3's last year. 12.4 ppg, 4.2 rb, 1 ass. in 28 minutes per game. I...

    Brooks Bakko in the Boat

    Bakko is quite the basketball player, super skilled, very good athlete, super smart, i think all conf as a freshman, and winning state titles. I know he could have helped the gophers this year, with how thin we were at guard. I am hoping we are never that thin again. I read he ran a 11.2 100...

    What do the Gophers need in the portal?

    Rob was rebounding at a high level. Provided some girth and strength, as JCJ was the only other post player with some. So we need a similar big body, who is willing to rebound, hopefully a bit taller.

    What do the Gophers need in the portal?

    I agree it would be ideal to get to transfer starters. Evans could be the combo guard, but he is neither big, nor very athletic. If it is Evans, then Niko must get a strong athlete at SF. Rebounding should go much better if we get that SF, plus if Vailhola returns, and Grove providing energy...
