    All Things Class of 2025 Gophers Basketball Recruiting Thread

    This feels like a conundrum. We need you to donate to NIL, so we can start winning. We're not donating more until you start winning.

    Jamison Battle had 12 points and 6 rebounds…in the NBA

    In regards to plus/minus, Saturday against the Nuggets, Amir Coffey played nearly 24 minutes. Was 0-5 shooting, including 0-3 from behind the arc. Had 2 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal and a foul. His plus/minus for the game was +22, by far the highest on the team. Last night against the...

    Wonder if Bernadette palmed it when she crossed over for the first time.

    No. 1 recruit AJ Dybantsa is expected to land an NIL package north of $3M and could get as high as $4M. BYU prepared to pay “4 to $4.5M"

    Good honest answer! I personally would have a tough time getting invested or interested in a team with mercenaries, who don't care at all about the state, the fans, educational opportunities, or a little pride in being a Gopher; just so I get paid. Of course, it's a little different if you...

    No. 1 recruit AJ Dybantsa is expected to land an NIL package north of $3M and could get as high as $4M. BYU prepared to pay “4 to $4.5M"

    Curious about the thought process of everybody here. You have to make a choice of 2 players. I know we don’t want to HAVE to pick one or the other but, I’d love to know who most folks on this board would choose. An absolute stud who is capable of carrying a team to a Final 4, who is only here...

    Did not know that it went into double-overtime. Agreed, that's not an outlandish score for 2 OT.

    2024-2025

    What's really fun and educational is those rare times that you get to sit in on the coaches/players film sessions on these things. At least they're rare for me, (once or twice in my life) but man you sure get an idea of what a coach is looking for and what it's supposed to look like on the...

    2024-2025

    Hmm. If the score was really in the 80's, I guess there is still plenty of defensive work to do. Obviously, K-State is projected to be really good, but I'm thinking that Dawn P's defensive goal is to be able to keep teams somewhere in the 60's for most of their games.

    2024-2025

    One of the earlier comments mentioned tiring K-State out, which might indicate the ability to control the tempo of the game. Often, controlling the tempo is directly connected to how well you play defense, which allows you to play as quickly or slowly as you choose during the course of a game...

    KC and AK

    Wasn't it more like Taylor had been staying in the backfield most of the game to pick up a blitzing linebacker, and on that final play, UCLA surprisingly dropped the LB into coverage in the middle of the field? When Taylor moved to the spot where he expected that linebacker to be coming from...

    Game times announced for 2024-2025 season

    I don't remember her name, but I thought the female play-by-play was starting to show a lot of promise by the end of the season. There was a guy doing color that I wasn't as fond of. Felt like he was used to commenting on stuff like rhythmic gymnastics or synchronized swimming. Cringed every...

    Conflicting reporting on if Gonzaga is leaving West Coast Conference to join Pac-12

    Waiting for the first case of a basketball PROGRAM playing for 3 (or 4) different conferences in 4 years.

    Johnson on walk-on Lincoln Meister: "He’s made guys better because he’s long, he’s crafty, he’s a better athlete than you think. He’s pretty skilled.”

    I know this is a random example and could honestly be more of the exception as opposed to the rule, but do you guys remember Sam Freeman. Back-up post for a couple of seasons with the Gophers? About 6'10 or so. I remember being frustrated watching him, in that I think we saw flashes from time...

    Pac 10 expands, adds 4 new schools

    I try to follow the Gophers hoops teams as closely as I can from out here in California. Is it a little disappointing when they lose a game or don’t get the recruits we’d like? Yes. But I also realize that whether my team, (which I have no influence or effect on, wins or loses) it has no affect...

    Has anyone seen Builtbadgers?

    I was wondering as well. Seems like more than a year since I've seen a post from him. Didn't always agree with his takes, but always felt he had very reasonable opinions and thoughts on the program and College Basketball in general.

    Randball and Dawn Plitzuweit at the Fair previewing the 2024 season

    Thanks! I've heard that called Kills, Turkeys and probably a couple of other names over the years.. Guess there are many terms for that.

    Randball and Dawn Plitzuweit at the Fair previewing the 2024 season

    OK. So I know I've heard the term before, but this morning I am drawing a complete blank. Driving me nuts. What is the basketball TKO that she is talking about

    Video: Ben Johnson calls 2024-25 Gophers 'deepest team that I've had, not close'

    Sounds about like 90% of the sports fans I know. We're either great or we suck worse than ever! We sports fans are the ultimate in the realm of Knee-Jerk reactions.
