    All Things 2024 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    I'm not a physiologist nor kinesiologist but these are my thoughts. Compared to many other sports, baseball is a relatively passive sport unless you are a pitcher or catcher. Jog out to SS or RF for 3-4 innings, maybe catch a routine fly ball or ground ball and then spend time between innings...

    Toledo’s Tyler Cochran commits to Minnesota.

    Cochrane at times reminds me of a shorter version of PSU's Seth Lundy who really knew how the use his body, especially near the hoop.

    Is This Ben's Best Ever July Roster?

    My take is Ben used a short bench because he lacked enough game ready BIG players. Guys that can compete at that level. Injuries to Fox especially kept him off the floor. I feel that this group of experienced players have enough skills and certainly physicality to earn them ample PT especially...

    Oregon transfer Brennan Rigsby commits to MN

    We lack a guy that can take it to the hoop effectively and/or better than average from the arc and solid defender. Any left in the portal still out there? Or have they all gone to the deep pockets.

    No need to panic! Yet.

    Give the ball to Asuma Ben. For two reasons. But first you need to change your style to a ball movement offense rather than dribble, dribble and dribble some more. My take is Asuma is built for that role. And then bring in another PG to do the same The fans would be curious and come and watch...

    My guess is that those on scholarship don't play AAU.

    That is a fair question as injuries have held him back. It will be interesting to see if he plays any AAU and takes time to heal for Summer workouts. At 6'-8" and 230 or so, is he done growing other than getting stronger? Grove also played goalie on his soccer team so that says a lot about his...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT INDIANA STATE NIT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I don't think we match up that well. Our perimeter D will really be tested and lately that has not been good and Avila will be a handful for Payne away from the basket. Their passing to the back door slasher is really good. Even though they have been good from 3, could Ben throw some zone their...

    I Believe in the Death of Julius Caesar and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ

    Thanks Blizzard. This is what I believe. Science is always trying to catch up with the Bible. It will never happen. People are funny. The majority accept the writings of Homer, Plato, Herodotus, Sophocles, etc. inspite that very few of their manuscripts have been vetted compared to the Bible...

    I Believe in the Death of Julius Caesar and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ

    I have appeared to you? Jesus presents Himself to Paul as he was His chosen apostle, hand picked, real and also proof of His resurrection. This is not a time to send a courier or other form of messenger. Paul was not to be an apostle chosen by man but by God Himself thus he was to become a...

    At 18-14, will the Gophers make the NIT?

    Really?? I will be totally surprised if any of the top 7 opt out. After the L to MSU: Garcia: “I definitely think we're continuing to go in the right direction. That's what it's about. We've got guys in the locker room, a whole coaching staff, a whole university that's behind us that's willing...

    Dawson Garcia believes the Gophers aren't done winning. But will he be back?

We've got guys in the locker room, a whole coaching staff, a whole university that's behind us that's willing and committed to moving in the right direction. “I've got nothing...
