Great news that Braeden is able to begin the process of being a basketball player again. I thought he would be out much longer and hope he's truly in a good place now.

Assuming this Shooter report is true, the lack of vision from the entire University is breathtaking. Interest in the program had been waning dramatically for years, they drag their feet on firing Pitino over (rumored) literal pennies in the grand scheme of college athletics, then they hire a...

There is no "rivalry" with St Thomas. Reusse should use his platform to blast the University of Minnesota for embarrassing itself by finishing below an actual rival in Wisconsin in the B1G standings for two decades straight and falling way behind even Iowa in the last decade. That's what...

I hope Braeden is able to get the help/care and support he needs with whatever he is going through. I find it a bit alarming that his high school quickly organized a support night after the announcement that he was stepping away from the team. That suggests to me that this isn't the type of...

I had recently seen a tweet/x/post that ranked the top 25 teams by averaging like 4 analytic sites, I believe they were Ken Pom, Bart Tovik, NET, and Evan Miya (might have the spelling wrong on a couple of those). That made me curious where the Gophers landed in all of them and, at the time I...

I think this particluar decommit likely had something to do with NIL, but Louisville is also a lot closer to Florida and they played in the ACC title game. The recruits on that visit weekend were well aware that Rossi wasn't going to be the DC, so that isn't part of this. I do think jumping to...

Most important thing is to get the hire right. PJ brings in another Robb Smith/Mike Sanford level miss in a Coordinator position and he's deciding between TV work and a job in the MAC sooner rather than later. We've heard all the position coaches are expected to remain with Minnesota on...

Tied for the team lead in special teams tackles for TCU last season when they made the CFP. Interesting that he was able to get on the field for a few games as a true freshman walk on during the COVID season. His game logs from this year don't show him playing in November (per ESPN) so I...

I really don't get this one. I'd be more than fine with him coming in as the backup if we had a nice class of '22 or '23 QB on the roster in addition to Brosmer. It is nice to have someone who has started college games as your backup. The line of thinking I've read is that Minnesota couldn't...

I'd like to see kids sign with conferences. This would likely create a big 2 scenario with the SEC/B1G getting most of the talent. The kids get a portion of the revenue just like the players in MLB, NFL, or NBA. There's a draft of the incoming freshman every year which would be another...

Just going by his offer list he'd be a great get for the Gophers. I think the Swag Daddy was familiar with him from his HS days.

The Athan story is wild. From how I perceive PJ to be, it wouldn't surprise me that he lost it on Athan after the Purdue game. He probably was holding it in after the Illinois game and the Purdue loss was such a horrible look for PJ that he looked to lash out at someone. I am obviously not...

The B1G has been bad for at least 4 seasons now. This year appears no different. Wisconsin is on a nice run now again unfortunately and could end up top 4 again. Michigan State seems to be going through some chemistry issues. I didn't watch their game against Wisconsin, but they had two...

Did a re-watch of the 2nd half because I was curious about how it would look when I knew the outcome and could look more critically at things (and hey, it's the 3rd B1G win in our last 26 games or whatever). I'll start with the positive and that was the defense. Carrington and Mitchell were...

Joshua Ola-Joseph was the story of the second half to me. Robbie Hummel correctly pointed out how ridiculous it was that he only had 4 offensive rebounds all year after he skied over everybody for one in the 2nd half. Carrington did a good job on Tominaga(sp) and Payne had a couple key baskets...

This was a huge missed opportunity in the Pitino era. When you've been in the chair for 4 years and you are somehow just getting your first big ranked vs ranked home game...you really need to win it. Things went South quickly (and probably would have anyway given we now know that Coyle/Pitino...

What did Doogie say? This Weber comment is kind of brutal for Ben. Coaches always stand up for other guys in the profession and Weber decided to talk about him as a person as opposed to him as a basketball coach. The part about a "brand" is enlightening. Ben doesn't seem to know what he...

I think most of us expected a loss. Another wire to wire B1G loss where we clearly weren't competitive is disheartening though. Bleed pointed out Ben is 2-23 in his last 25 conference games, but we also have to have spent an inordinate amount of game time in his tenure down double digits. This...

Gophers need this game. Things are obviously really ugly right now, but a loss to Nebraska at home to start the B1G 0-2 and I think you have to really start worrying about kids quitting. A loss to Nebraska on December 6 and then we don't play another real team until visiting Michigan on...

I was rooting for Hawaii late last Saturday, but this seems like a case of be careful what you wish for. Since that time, we've lost both our returning scholarship QB's as well as Evans at RB. Kramer at QB and Nubin at RB feels kind of pointless to me and a loss to a MAC team, but especially...
