I'll be sure to warn him that I have 4 pretty good moves that nobody has really been able to stop effectively. Traveling, Charging, Flopping and Hacking. And to be honest, I'm pretty dang good at Air Balls too. So yeah, don't get too overconfident watching me warm up! Actually,, I don't...

I have never understood why people feel compelled to make season predictions before practices even start. So many variables, so many unknowns. Players X,Y, and Z could suddenly jell, have career seasons and the team plays exactly as the coach envisioned. Or those players could all get injured...

Cool! I'm a 68 year old hoops lover with a fake knee and hip, and I live in California. But I'm on vacation next week. Do I need an invite or can I just show up with my rusty jump shot? :)

Her style is kind of a "hanging with my buds, chillin'. Lots of nicknames, with inside joke style comments, not much expanding on a thought and, while not really mumbling, not much focus on speaking clearly". Kind of typical for what that age group sounds like when hanging out with friends...

I would agree. I've seen so many instances where a wing or 4 gets switched off and ends up in the paint against a shorter guard. Seems like half the time, especially when the shorter guard is strong with his legs and hips, ends up forcing a tough shot because they got low and strong and upset...

I always laugh at people who complain about refs, with-out fully understanding everything they have to pay attention to on the court. Among them, there is some type of foul or violation on pretty much every single trip down the floor, so which do I call and which do I let go, knowing that the...

Thanks for this. I'm more of a reader than listener to long podcasts. Appreciate this!

Assuming they stay healthy, I think this may be the season that Battle and Braun end up being far closer to the players we believe they're capable of being more consistantly. Seems like the junior season is when a lot of players seem to finally really get it and start turning it up.

I think this will be a fun season to watch Braun and Battle. Obviously they will be at the top of everybody's scouting report, so how they are able to respond to, adjust and attack everybody's extra attention will be vital to Gopher success this season. Of course, the supporting cast will also...

It's also possible that when the staff reached out to her, she informed them that she had no intention of attending U of Minn., that she really wants to try another area of the country. I have zero inside knowledge on that scenario, but it happens. If that is the case, do you continue to...

I read the whole post and have no problem with taking your time and thoroughly explaining the situation as you see it. Although I also seem to have a longer attention span that a lot of folks. While I may not be 100% in agreement with all of the points you make, (I'm more inclined to wait and...

Athletic third point guard who can get after people a little bit on defense and do a reasonable job of taking care of and distributing the ball on offense? And a lot of experience, just in case the Gophers end up needing it?

Wondering if JB would be interested in the job unless or until the Gophers can show that their boosters/business community has a very solid and maybe Top 50 funded NIL program set up and ready to go for his first season at the helm. With-out that, I wonder if a lot of top candidates would feel...

Maybe moving that far away from the influence of some of the close, hometown associates that may have been giving him that bad advice will benefit him. Although it might not be right for everybody, I generally recommend that kids right out of high school, if they have the option, move to some...

Freeman ended up with San Bernadino in the CCAA division 2 conference this past year. Averaged about 2 points and 2 rebounds per game Played in 23 of 35 games for a Final 4 team, about 7 minutes per game. Did not play once they hit the post season. I saw him once, very non-aggressive...

Regarding Betts: I believe that last season was his first true freshman season. Wasn't he basically a 17 year old who should have been a senior in high school, who redshirted during his first year at U of M? Of course, that begs the question: How many posters here believe that if a freshman...

Would've liked to hear a little more about what each of the new transfers can bring defensively (what do they seem to be good at on the defensive end) and maybe how and why Coach Johnson feels they can work together to form a cohesive team defense that can be competitive. I think we all know...

Most radio types will tell you that for every hour you're on the air, you should plan on an hour of show prep. That may or may not include your daily production meeting if you have a significant staff that works with you on that show. If you have a staffer chasing down information, you still...

I guess, if he’s thinking in the immediate future, those numbers might matter to him. If he’s thinking longer term, and not strictly financially, those numbers might not matter that much. I would guess that, by this point, he is fully aware of those numbers. I have a hard time trying to...

Obviously there are exceptions to almost everything. Not to put words in this particular coaches mouth, but I think he was speaking of his general experience over his 20 years as a college coach. His preference is to get a good player who is also a good student. It's something he and his staff...
