    Baby Gronk commits

    Who plans an 11 year olds career? Especially with no notable unique talents? Insanity.

    Lamborghinis lined up outside the Texas athletic facility where recruits enter for their official visits this weekend.

    Without a doubt the south will dominate NIL with widespread participation in the fan base. It will make the line worker believe he helped get “number 22” in a Longhorn jersey. Culturally, they just care about this a lot more than we Midwest people saving for retirement and giving to church...

    Gophers getting new uniforms tomorrow?!

    Hipsters don't have TV's because they don;t watch live anything and do it all on a tablet. It's no virtue of sacrifice or counter culturalism to ditch a TV when you get it all somewhere else. It's like giving up Hersheys to eat Nestles.

    Your thoughts on the new Gophers uniforms?

    Glad they didn't abandon gold.

    Just over 9 months until Big Ten Tournament

    I suspect the depths the NCAA will go for choosing teams from the Power conferences will be dependent on the middle and bottom of the leagues. If they are really bad, like B1G was last year, it will damage the middle rung bubble teams. Leagues like the Big 12 who really do have a lot of good...

    Just over 9 months until Big Ten Tournament

    That risk does put a crimp in advanced planning.

    Just over 9 months until Big Ten Tournament

    My guess is the gambling/ tourism industry in Vegas can ensure the conference big $ whether they sell one ticket or not. Perhaps the conference wanted a location that didn’t want it. Really wierd that no date or location has been announced yet.

    Minnesota kids you really enjoyed watching

    Losing Sullivan was on Clem not Monson. Clem and his crew believed Jake was too slow for high major basketball and didn't recruit him. Monson knew he could shoot and made a last ditch effort to land him when he arrived from Spokane, but it was too late. This one isn't on Monson. Clem didn't...

    STrib: Gophers chase their NIL version of FedEx's $25 million gift to Memphis

    The deck is stacked against us for at least a few reasons. First, none of our big corporations are going to do it out of their egos or generosity to the U. They will only do it if they can justify it economically. Second, there aren’t enough people in Minnesota that care enough about Gopher...

    Minnesota native Lu’Cye Patterson commits to the Gophers

    We have not done anything in the last three years that suggests putting an NCAA tournament team together exclusively from the transfer portal. We’re not Arkansas. Could it happen? Yes. Will it? Unlikely.

    Former 5 star QB recruit Jaden Rashada is suing Florida HC Billy Napier and Florida Booster over failed NIL deal

    I want to have sympathy for the kid ( disclosure-I haven't read the article yet), but they are adults, largely asked for the opportunity to get paid, and have assumed the risks. It's their job to get honest non self-interested advice, and operate on the always true adage that if it sounds too...

    Minnesota native Lu’Cye Patterson commits to the Gophers

    I need some hope in my life today. I want to believe we have a high quality wing/scorer on the line to come here. I'll also add from a non-delusional perspective that it seems really odd this guy hasn't landed somewhere yet. He's either seen as a risk, has an agreed on landing spot, or he's...

    Damian Johnson. Aaron Robinson. Similar era, but a long time ago, true.

    Gopher Potential Portal Pursuits

    Can’t comment on Betts specifically, but there is a terrible tendency on this board of writing off young players almost immediately if they don’t produce immediately. That said, the free agent world changes perspective on whether it is worth the investment of time in players who may not have...

    He may want of U of M degree, too. Just a thought. There could be a few of those left in high major basketball.

    Non conference matters when your schedule is the worst in the country.

    2023-2024 College Basketball Coaches Hired/Fired Thread

    My guess is a lot of the established hosts are pretty much mailing it in and having their teams do most of the work. I have a one hour per month program where I am the "guest," with a pre-prepared topic, and I spend one to two hours in prep, depending on my knowledge of the subject matter.
