    What Ben Johnson can learn from NCAA Tournament

    We can debate semantics, numbers, and stars all day long....but what Tom Izzo has done at MSU is absolutely the blueprint for a successful program outside the top 10 'blue bloods'. If we could achieve even a portion of his success with Sparty we would be ecstatic!

    Caledonia native Eli King in portal from Iowa State

    I believe King was one of two players (Cam Heide-to-Purdue) that announced their commitment shortly after Coach Johnson was hired and the consensus on this board was that Coach Johnson didn't have the time to cultivate the same sort of relationships that Oberholzer (UNLV/Iowa State) and Painter...

    Caledonia native Eli King in portal from Iowa State

    I would love it if we could get him to transfer to The U! This is the kind of player that we need to build a sustainable, successful program. Skillful, yet maybe in need of some development. Local...maybe even with a desire to be a part of the next (successful) wave of Gopher basketball. A...

    JMS, Ibrahim, Terell Smith and Howden invited to combine

    How many Gophers do we expect to get drafted? These four? These four plus? Less than these four? Anyone have a take on this?

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT RUTGERS IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Garcia is clearly our best player, and Battle is arguably our second best...but I am not entirely sure we aren't a better team with neither of them on the floor. In games that they both play big minutes, it seems like we lose big. In games that neither or one of them plays, it seems like the...

    Point Guard

    Regardless of how one feels about Cooper as the PG of this team, it is clear that we need to add 1 or 2 additional ballhandlers to next year's squad to be competitive. Assuming we add two to the roster, we would have to drop two from the roster to be under the scholarship limit. Doing a little...

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    I disagree. The end of the Pitino days and the subsequent departures of almost everyone on the team left us in a horrible situation. A total rebuild. Yet, last year we won games, played competitively until the end of the season, overachieved, played with passion and purpose, maximized our...

    Start your best 5 Ben.

    I like the talent on this team and think they have some great potential. However, it has become apparent that we need better (and more) guard play to maximize that potential. Looking forward I LOVE the talent we have but...we need more guards. For 2023-2024 there are several unknowns---will...

    Souhan: Fleck's overuse of Ibrahim in the past month doesn't represent one red flag — it represents a bouquet of them.

    I love your optimism....and I am hoping to catch it! I just have more doubts. I love Athan and would like to believe that QB play will improve next year (but the last few games, with Athan, have been hard to watch). Love Evans, and wish he had played more this year, but not sure he can...

    Souhan: Fleck's overuse of Ibrahim in the past month doesn't represent one red flag — it represents a bouquet of them.

    Agree with almost everything you just said....and have been thinking it for a long time!

    For the seniors

    I have been looking online for the most games played by a Minnesota Gophers football player as I imagine Howden, Morgan, and Schmitz (among others) must be on the all-time list...but haven't been able to find a list. Does anyone know where these guys rank on the list of most games played by a...

    Brevyn Spann-Ford will not be participating on Senior Day

    Gotta disagree with your sentiment. He is one of the only receiving weapons we have and, when he is on and the game plan utilizes him, he is outstanding

    Athan will be the starter this Saturday per TheGopherGuys on Twitter

    I am old as well...and I definitely care! I just don't think that playing Morgan over Kaliakmanis gives us a better chance to win either or both of the trophy games. If that's the case, then which quarterback should we start this year to give us a better chance to win both next year?

    Athan will be the starter this Saturday per TheGopherGuys on Twitter

    I think we have a better chance at winning games with Athan.

    Athan will be the starter this Saturday per TheGopherGuys on Twitter

    So....first off I want to thank Tanner Morgan for all he has given and provided to The U. We were in QB No Man's Land before he arrived on campus. Since then, we (and he) have had an excellent run and accomplished a lot! He has, and will continue to have, a warm spot in my heart for what he...

    Jack Robinson commits to Wisconsin

    OK Gopher fans...here is my take on the Minnesotans-to-Wisconsin situation...I agree that the Minnesotans that have committed to and played with the Badgers recently have not been 'program changers'. In the last 10 years we have not lost one of those (to WI). That said, there are a number of...

    Post Game Thread - SOUND OFF: Gophers get back on winning track by dominating Rutgers

    Defense was ELITE! Mo was awesome as usual! Passing game showed some life. Crawford and Kesich were/are great. Team avoided penalties and 'no win' situations. Still concerned about WR and QB play--game plan and opponent didn't require them to do much but wonder if they could have if we...
