Copper earned his way up a conference from a lessor one. Probably the best PG Gophers could get.

At the last Maryland game I arrived early and watched the teams warmup. Maryland shot real well in warm-ups. They looked confident. They also looked more physically cut than the Gophers. Maybe these Gopber freshmen mechanically need two years of lifting and training to be like those Maryland...

I disagree with the few who say, "You are failing if you do not win big right now because next year your players may be gone." No program can operate like that. Elsewhere I have read comments like that. There is no substitute for recruiting and relying on your recruited players. Could Garcia...

I have multiple times repeated the same view on the guards/wings. My view is not original. Umpteen others have said that. Success for CBJ's build plan may come down to the guards/wings. Will they pan out or not. I have repeated that it looks "iffy." Gophers will have Evans, Payne, JOJ, Battle...

It appears your brain processed something different than what I wrote. Go back and re-read what I wrote. Henley was rated the #2 2022 wing by PrepHoops for his state. He's still a potential at this point as a freshman. Right now it doesn't look good but intriguing. Regarding Carrington, that's...
