    B1G Game 14: Gophers Host Wisconsin (2-11-23)

    There are some key things that come into tonight. First, after the 12-5 start, Whalen had Mara, Mal, Amaya and Rose on the bench with a five of Hammond, Maggie, Cayton, Katie ad Gradwell. WHO IS YOUR SCORING OPTION WITH THAT GROUP? How are you EVER having all three freshman off the floor at...

    When does the seat become hot?

    A friend with prior assistant experience, final four experience and recruiting desire. Something none of the three we have now seem to have.

    When does the seat become hot?

    I would say Hart could start, meaning a starting five of Battle-Braun-Heyer-Rose-Hart (if no transfers or injuries) Klick could be productive in backup SG role to come in, give energy and hit jumpers. Same with Katie next year. Two International players both high ceilings.

    Let's review her career, good and bad. Overall Record as of 1/30/23: (69-69) Big Ten as of 1/30/23: (30-52) Positives: -Bringing Carly Thibault-DuDonis on when she first got the job. A fantastic recruiter and outstanding up and coming coach. Also, a key player in getting the 2022s. -The...

    2024 Recruiting

    While I agree usually a list can sometimes signal not picking gophers, I think it more so has to do with the amount of contact the player has to deal with. When they do the top 5,6 10 etc, other schools (usually) stop reaching out so it's less time making call backs etc. Players like Heyer...

    B1G Game 8: Gophers Visit Penn State (1-18-23)

    The last five years/Whalen's record vs Penn State is 7-1. It's 6-1 with Kieger there as she came the year after Whalen came to MN. The only loss was at the barn 60-69 during the Covid year 20-21 season.

    Some context with this... Gophers are likely in 5th place of this 6 teams for her. As of right now, they are not on her expected four official visits plans.

    B1G Game 6: Gophers Host Rutgers (1-12-23)

    Katie I could see. The other three are locked in for next season. They wanna play with Sophie and Nia. In terms of people saying Katie to the bench... it's been WAYYY PAST time for her to come off the bench. here is the updated numbers of assist/turnovers for each player. Mara: 48 assists/49...

    B1G Game 5: Gophers visit Wisconsin (1-8-23)

    I see a lot of people bring up the fact that Whalen is in her 5th Season when discussing the record and how the team is doing. First of all, Coyle knew this was not a 1-2 year plan when she was hired. It was playing the long game. Secondly, another thing we can drop is the notion of how she came...

    To put to lightly, When it comes to Crump... don't hold your breath. She has no shortened list at this time but likely by end of summer going into her junior year could have a top 10 named

    B1G Game 4: Gophers host Ohio State (1-5-23)

    I will say this, It was an extremely impressive game overall. This is a team we have seen have 20+ turnovers easily so yesterday seeing 16 total vs a team that is pressing and thrives off forcing turnovers was a huge improvement. Ohio State also to me is HUGELY overrated. They are not the third...

    2023-2024 Depth Chart (Updated)

    With Sophie Commitment, here is the updated depth chart for next season. I am well aware injuries, transfers or other could change this but right now, looking like depth will not be an issue for this group next season. Also looks like we have all 6'0 or taller players outside of Katie and the 3...

    Sophie Hart ( Farmington ) Leaving NC State

    Literally the Gophers have all of that.. however they are in a better conference, more D1 history and a better group of young players to grow with in the next 2-3 years. St.Thomas has two AAU teammates (Pratt and Hill) compared to Gophers having one (Czinano)

    Sophie Hart ( Farmington ) Leaving NC State

    It's a changing situation. She is listening to a lot of teams that are calling. Gophers have made it clear they are EXTREMELY interested in her services. I think its unlikely we see anything until January at the earliest but I could even see her wait to do visits and see teams through the rest...

    Next Four Grade (Big Ten/Power 5 Matchups)

    Similar to the first post, grading the team. It can be how they are doing? Your satisfaction with the team to date, thoughts and feelings. for Example, I gave B as they are slightly above expectations I had for this year, plus how hard they play and having impressive late wins over Lehigh and...

    Next Four Grade (Big Ten/Power 5 Matchups)

    I figured Now that the team has played another four, including 3 power five/1 big ten game, could see if peoples grades have changed, improved or worsened. The team sits at 5-3 overall (1-0 in conf) currently. Here are the things to consider... Per WarrenNolan.com Current NET Rating: 88...

    Won't post an updated voting just yet as will wait for next 3-4 games but here's some updated things to think with this team. Gophers 4-2 (only 1 game against a Power Five Team and 5 games with Braun) Teams they have lost to combined record 14-0 (Virginia 8-0 and NDSU 6-0) Teams they have...
