    Gopher Gymnastics

    I want to add that this Gopher Gymnastics team has become one unit out there. Someone falters, another team member is there to pick them right back up. As stated in the previous post, Oklahoma was on such a high after posting an OUTRAGEOUS Vault score that more or less solidified them to the...

    Gopher Gymnastics

    Not only were our Lady Gophers the lowest ranked team of the 8, they actually placed third today of the Final Four teams heading to the National Championships: Oklahoma 198.3000 Florida 197.7875 Minnesota 197.4625 LSU 197.4375 This was not their highest team score of the...

    The Hugh McCutcheon Strategy

    I came across this article and maybe it has been posted before. If anything, right now I would love to hear from him on his strategy for our Volleyball Program at the U of Minnesota. https://gophersports.com/staff-directory/hugh-mccutcheon/81

    Gopher Softball 2026

    It's not just Softball/Baseball that ClassOf98Gopher mentioned....look at Volleyball, Gymnastics and also Women's Bball. I'm expecting the West Coast dominance in these sports to continue, especially with the UCLA programs in these sports I also mentioned.

    Spring schedule

    Personally, I will be very very surprised, if all the known injured players, will be performing at the same level they were before their injuries. This appears to be a program waiting for up to 6 players to recuperate with high hopes in repeating last season beginning this fall. How many...

    Gopher Gymnastics

    Heck of a performance today vs #4 UCLA, #5 Alabama, and #12 Utah... Gophers finished on Floor 3rd, Vault 1st, Uneven Bars 4th and Balance Beam 1st. This was an outstanding Team win for the program. I'm very very happy for them in reaching the Final 8.

    Spring schedule

    A fan stated Crosson has an ankle sprain and she is in a boot. Gilk has not been dressing for practice. Olivia is unable to play at the net for medical reasons. I am just trying to repeat what others have already posted elsewhere. So if you add those 3 players to the list of 3 ACL injuries...

    Spring schedule

    Several fans on Volleytalk are saying "no worries". They feel people just shouldn't be all that concerned, it is only Spring. If this was the same case and it was the fall, then worry. I say, really? When players with ACL tears come back to their sport, they usually are not the same physical...

    Gopher Gymnastics

    Today is their last meet of the season. Their #13 ranking is much deserved.

    Spring schedule

    Kalei Mau was one of those players who I wished saw playing time for us. Hugh was always looking and wanting those 6R pins...that could be the reason she never started as a Gopher. I do know her departure was shocking to this Gopher fan. While at Arizona State, she started at OH and had a...

    Spring schedule

    If I'm remembering correctly - Hugh had entered the UNI Tournament once during his Gopher coaching years. It was held on practice courts somewhere on their campus. We entered the building and walked through 2 gyms adjacent to each other to get to the third gym where we played. There were...

    AVCA First Serve 2026

    So help me understand what some of you are trying to say. We have transferred in since Cook has become our HC: Awoleye, Grote, Acevedo, Engeman, Thibault, Murr, Lee and Myers. So none of these players should have joined the Gopher Program? We should never be transferring in players but...

    AVCA First Serve 2026

    Would have been wonderful, if he had. I'm beginning to question how well of a job he actually does at recruiting. IMO KK was our recruiter and since her departure it hasn't really happened. That's why this newly hire with Nassar is so important because Nellie also IMO was pretty absent in this...

    Arica Nassar Hired as Assistant Coach

    Arica Nassar has recruiting coordinator by her title. I'm not sure who Nellie has actually recruited besides: Yes, McKinley Moser (often spelled Moser, sometimes confused with Mosser) is still a committed volleyball recruit for the University of Minnesota as of late 2025. Class Year: She is a...

    Gopher Softball 2026

    The first few games are in the books and we are 1-4. Can anyone give a realistic estimate what our record could look at by the end of this regular season? Some posters have already mentioned that it appears we could be seeing a softer schedule than previous seasons.

    Gopher Wrestling 2025-2026

    Tonight at Rutgers they sure were not the same Gophers we saw in Iowa. However, with that being said, last week wasn't the Iowa Team we are used to competing against either, now was it?

    Gopher Wrestling 2025-2026

    Just text a friend in Iowa. He states his Hawkeye co-workers and many others want to see Brands gone. People are saying this year's team quit on him. Now, whatever that is supposed to mean, I'm not sure.

    Pedro Mendes Leaves for MLV

    All good, but I just feel that not all of KCook's hires were positive from the beginning, without going into specifics. I am also wondering what will be the long term affect, if any, these Pro Women's USA Volleyball Leagues hiring coaches will have on the College Level hiring in the near future.

    Pedro Mendes Leaves for MLV

    IMO the coaching and development of our middle players he brought to this program is going to take a huge hit. Five assistants have left in KCook's 3 seasons as HC at Minnesota. Am I asking for too much when I want to see more stability in our volleyball program?

    2026 transfers

    I just edited above roster based on the now 2026 updated Gopher Volleyball website. I still question Acevedos true elegibility. It was my understanding that she did not receive a RS with her season ending injury. However, according to this update she will only be a RS-Jr for the fall 2026...
