Thanks for posting that visitor list! Some very intriguing DL prospects (especially the guys from down South) with some MAJOR offers.

Yeah Allen was so injured. Has to be it! No way the more dominant defense just had its day, right? Was Allen's injury also why Walley straight stole a ball out of your WRs hands?

I wouldn't swear too much. These rankings are totally arbitrary and meaningless

Exactly. Allen was literally tapping out and avoiding hits by the time we were done with him

Says who? My friend is an NFL writer on the staff and didn't relay anything about that after the acquisition. He said they felt bullish on what that Times money will allow them to do.

Fox was already good to play the last 1/4 of last season, but they just chose not to burn one of his years for a small amount of games. Pretty sure Ihnen was hurt before Fox was, IIRC. If not before, they were close. If Ben was concerned about what he was seeing with Ihnen's injury recovery, do...

BSF has the measureables and athleticism to get drafted if he has a big year. Howden and Oliver also have a lot of athletic upside. I think Rush and MSM will move on to successful business careers after this year.

Saw a way-too-early mock draft for 2023 and it got me thinking...which of our Gophers have the best chance to hear their names called by the NFL next April? JMS - could be one of the best centers in college football this coming season; should have a good shot in the pros. Tyler Nubin - if he...

McIntosh, Strong and Thompson came and visited and we made a decision to go with Cooper. Do you think Ben was oblivious to the fact that taking one guard would likely impact other guards' decisions? Its all tied together. Most of these guys aren't transferring away to go be a backup somewhere...

Exactly. Was just gonna post the same thing. The interviewer didn't ask about Ihnen. It was an open question and Ben chose to highlight Ihnen. If Ihnen was a lost cause, he is not the answer.

Yeah, I wonder if the coach knows more or the people who haven't seen him practice or play for 2 years? Tough call

Ben seems to have pretty high hopes for what Ihnen can bring this year. That would be a very pleasant surprise that I think most fans aren't expecting.

Because some people are tied to a narrative of failure and bad roster construction by Ben because of the way last year played out.

So if you're conceding that Jones may want a high-quality grad degree, how is that a failure by Ben? Seems like what the U offers was not a fit for his personal goals.

Where do you come up with this stuff? Let's just go by NCAA Tournament appearances in the last 10 seasons. Oklahoma is the only program of that group that has more appearances than the Gophers: CSU - 2022, 2013 Minnesota - 2019, 2017, 2013 Cal - 2016, 2013 Oklahoma - 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016...

We have already discussed the Jones thing ad nauseum in his thread. Apparently you're not understanding the difference in quality of education at Northwestern and Stanford. Someone who knows his family also stated that his reasons are non-basketball.

What do you have to base that on? You just think we so badly want every player who visits that if they don't commit it means they passed on the Gophers? Did you say the same thing about McIntosh and Thompson from Purdue?

Thanks for the chart. I'd be pretty shocked if Fox only plays 21 minutes and Ihnen only gets 8 minutes. But like you said, we have a lot of forwards

But Luke Loewe ended up being a really solid defensive player. Overmatched athletically many times, but worked his ass off. There would have been no way to deduct that from a tweet showing his PPG. My point was that nobody knows anything about this kid other than they don't know Merrimack. If we...

It's almost like Luke Loewe wasn't a serviceable player last year. But half these posters didn't even know what a William & Mary was before he committed.
