    Tessa Johnson, will announce her college selection Wednesday morning.

    This is a possibility.. Tessa is a top player, but might not have the foot speed to get significant minutes at SC, for sure as a freshman. Keep in mind SC has the best of the best in the country. I see her yearning for playing time and transfers home to MN to play with her old friends. .. But...

    2022-2023 Season.

    Hopefully your right, but the hardest thing to do as a young player is shoot 3's because of the close out speed and length at the next level, especially for kids that didn't shoot 3's in HS. Heyer was a back to the basket kid, although really working on her 3 game, Battle didn't shoot a lot -...

    2022-2023 Season.

    I do agree this list is questionable. Hake won't see meaningful minutes this year, she will need to adjust to the speed and length first. You have to put a MN freshman on the list just because they are going to play 25 min+ a game, c'mon do your homework.

    2022-2023 Season.

    Take 1 on this season; The 4 active freshman will get on the job training, Oberg will be a big body in the middle and has Rose developed going into her 2nd year? You can't win with just talented players, this is a team game and it feels like every year MN experiments with a new offense, a new...

    STrib: New Team

    Kati, pg, Battle 2G, Braun the 3, Rose 4, oberg 5. The only way this doesn't happen game 1 is Whalen may not want to tick off the older players/transfers

    STrib: New Team

    I'm shocked Tessa hasn't made a decision yet? you are at your peak value during AAU season, I can't imagine what she is waiting for? What is strange is her sister committed to Iowa state like in 8th grade to early and now Tessa is waiting to long.. Best of luck to her

    2024 Recruiting

    6'5. I would take a chance on her all day.. The challenge with any program becomes you need to develop players like this.

    You can be a great player from any program, but the EYBL circuit gives you a true indication of where your strengths and weaknesses are at. I think Kneepkens would of had success in the EYBL because of her size and shooting ability. NuNu is at Metro stars because Hopkins is using metro stars...

    Tessa and Olson are great players right now and would be great gets for the gophers. Tessa is a great kid, the nicest kid you will ever meet. I do have some concerns with her foot speed playing at the elite school levels, I think MN would be a great spot for her. Olson has all the tools you...

    Report: USC and UCLA planning to join BIG TEN

    doesn't make sense just like Maryland joining the big10 didn't.

    2022-2023 Season.

    For MN to be competitive, Oberg will need to be double double and play 25-30min a game

    Gopher 22-23 Transfer Portal Needs/Watch List

    entering the portal this late seems odd.. It may limit a kids options.. but maybe there are reasons, who knows.

    At some point we will need to get some size, a lot of guards in the mix. I do agree Tessa should be their #1 2023 kid, but I would be concerned that relationship isn't being developed especially with Carly moving on. The other top programs are top programs because their recruiting is top...

    I saw Bueckers in 6th grade and they play identical, the only difference is Bueckers was tiny, then grew like 5 inches in 6th or 7th grade. What is strange is she looks like a 11th grader.

    2023 Recruiting

    Seeing her play several times, I would say she is better suited for Loyola Marymount, Fresno State, Illinois and St. Thomas., not the Big (I discount Illinois as they are a mess with their recruiting) .. but great coaches get players that are going to be good 'team' kids especially a MN kid...

    Signings 2022 Class

    I think in many cases if you are a Green Bay or a SDSU, they go after a kid like this because they fit their system, stats arent necessarily at the top of the wish list. So the question will be are we getting players to fit our system or are we just getting players? Time will tell if this...

    Gophers add Marwan Miller as assistant coach

    I like the idea of mixing in a male, the choice is interesting, but best of luck.

    Gopher 22-23 Transfer Portal Needs/Watch List

    Is the reason why Cayton's stats were so light because she was still recovering? I barely remember her playing against us.
