    Analysis: Four-star Illinois QB/WR Sam Jackson commits to the Gophers

    Wow. I hope they give him a shot at QB. If he can eventually make reads and throw accurately, can you imagine how dynamic he could be?

    Drew Peterson commits to Gophers!

    That he was “second fiddle” makes me pull for him all the more to succeed. Hope he works his butt off and becomes a nice player for us.

    All Things Kerwin Walton Recruitment Thread (Class of 2020)

    This. By all accounts, Walton sounds like a good kid. Too bad he fell for old Roy’s used car sales pitch to play for Scum U. Yes, there are many advantages they have over us. Doesn’t change the amount of slime and scum at that program.

    Drew Peterson commits to Gophers!

    Very nice “consolation prize” after losing out on Walton. In fact, as much as I wanted Walton, I feel sort of a “good riddance” to him now, as ultimately he rejected our team to play for Cheater University. I’ve always hated Duke and now UNC is right up there with Puke. Walton dropped way...

    All Things Class of 2020 Recruiting Thread

    Better recruiters, absolutely yes. Better coaches? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. There are great coaches at all levels of the game (including high school), but not all coaches of winning D1 programs are necessarily great coaches. The winners are mostly great salesmen who can convince great...

    Matt Haarms transferring from Purdue

    Hmmm. Jesus instructed “Do not be drunk with wine, for that is dissipation.” So drinking wine was fine, but getting drunk was not. Just some facts to consider-not that it really matters to this light-hearted discussion.

    Chip: When the games come back, will you be there?

    I’ll be there, as I’m not yet in one of the high risk categories. Increasingly, evidence is pointing to a death rate of closer to the flu. Another antibody study released today conducted by USC researchers estimates up to 55x more in the LA area have had the virus than the official case...

    Wow. If a miracle happens and we sign Walton, that ranking would be crazy.

    Your all-time favorite Gopher basketball player

    Wow, so tough! I would have to say Trent Tucker because it was such a thing of beauty to watch him shoot and he was a great guy to cheer for to boot.

    STrib: Potential starting lineup for the Gophers men's basketball team in 2020-21

    I’m certainly not arguing that the minutes should have gone to Demir. I think Ihnen should have gotten even more of Demir’s minutes. I still say, at minimum, Omersa has to greatly improve his free throw shooting to see many minutes.

    Ryan James 247: How does four star Jamal Mashburn Jr. fit into Gopher lineup?

    Very excited about this kid. I’ve also heard he already has the strength to play right away.

    STrib: Potential starting lineup for the Gophers men's basketball team in 2020-21

    Unless Tre greatly improves his shooting and finishing, I would not start him. Too much of an offensive liability last year.

    STrib: Potential starting lineup for the Gophers men's basketball team in 2020-21

    One simple reason. He can’t shoot the ball. This team lost several games last year due to poor shooting alone. Omersa was the king of clank. I’m ok with a PF guy like him if he can at least be close to average from the free-throw line. I believe he was under 30%. That is in rare bad...

    Willis to Grad Transfer from Minnesota

    This could very well be the case. I hope you are right. If so, he can play an important backup role on the team.

    USA Today: Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh discusses coronavirus in interview, shifts conversation to abortion

    You are so wrong and so ignorant it is laughable. I and many like me (the pro-lifers) volunteer at a home for single mothers, donate money to them, and I have adopted two children who were “unwanted”. Our small church (under 100 in attendance) has adopted 15 children. All families that...

    End of Division I Sports as We Know It

    Old fans and those with compromised immune systems should stay away. The rest could attend with little concern (assuming governmental rules allow them to). Statistics loudly support this fact as very few healthy young people end up with serious cases. At some point, our plan for attacking...

    7 Footer Liam Robbins from Drake Commits

    I’m still in shock that WE landed Robbins. Losing Daniel seemed like the death knell of the team, and now (provided the committee passes the new rule), we might see only a small drop off at the center spot. Heck, might it even be possible there would be NO drop off? He would have to take...

    Transfer list possibilities, Spring 2020

    While there is a lot to like about Williams, he needs to make major improvement in both shooting and finishing. He struggled at both. You can’t have a 6’5” guy on the floor who struggles to score.
