Plitzuweit as well.

100 of the best programs are still playing and recruiting isn't their emphasis right now. Would have been nice if she could have waited a week or two to at least see who the new coach is going to be before making this decision.

Sincere thanks from one of the Aaron Johnston crew !

That sounds like the exact opposite of what the Gophers just went through with Whalen. Ideally, you would want to hire someone who is a slam dunk in both areas. But if forced to choose one or the other, I would lean towards someone who has proven they can coach.

USD lost in the Sweet Sixteen. Plitzuweit is a good coach. Probably would require a substantial buyout since she just completed the first year of a long contract.

He's got 4 young kids, and he is too involved of a dad to buy into that.

Don't see anything there that indicates that he had any interest in the job either time.

The Summit has been a very top heavy conference with the two South Dakota schools dominating the regular season and tournament for several years. Gophers have not fared well against either team. NDSU jumped USD for second this year, and I believe they beat the Gophers this season as well. Once...

Interested in where you got your information.

Posted on the SDSU board that AJ recently built a new house and his wife's parents just moved to Brookings from western SD. Combining that with 2 or 3 young school age kids adds up a number of reasons to stay put.

She did play in the WNIT loss to the Jacks that was Borton's final game.

The two SD schools each have a Sweet Sixteen run and a WNIT championship to their credit in the last five years, which isn't too bad for farm folk.

Again, sounds like more of a clock operator and officiating issue. I guess I would be glad to have a coach who is going to advocate and do what they can for their team. The fact that the officials didn't tell him to back off wasn't his fault. Be honest - if the situation was reversed and a...

Lexi Alexander from the Twin Cities area was on the team for 4 years, and there have been a handful of other diverse players. It would definitely be a question to be asked. One thing to consider in this discussion is the areas that are prime recruiting areas for SDSU. They do recruit Minnesota...

I believe that game with clock issues was in Williams. Did someone from SDSU run the clock ? And those lily white teams have managed to beat the racially diverse Gopher rosters at least 4 times in a row if my memory is correct.

Saw the current assistant at Maryland mentioned on Thursday, but haven't seen much discussion concerning her since then. It seems that a person familiar with the B1G and has done high-level recruiting would be a strong candidate.

Absolutely. Not the first great player who didn't succeed as a coach, and won't be the last.

Take it with a grain of salt. It's butt hurt from the mother of a former USD player. She's put that kind of stuff on here before.

Isn't it surprising that they are doing this now and not waiting until next week after the tournament has left town ? Kind of takes attention away from the event.

If coming into the Barn and winning (twice) with Minnesota players that the Gophers never attempted to recruit makes one a tool, then I guess AJ qualifies. Maybe the Gophers should start scheduling regional teams like USD and SDSU again so you can get your chance at revenge.
