If you played against Coach Thorson's De La Salle teams you know what gritty means. Not a single easy pass in the half court. Will be interesting to see how this translates to the U, but his teams always played with a mindset that it wasn't going to be easy for the other team offensively...

Aligbe would be a real solid get for the Gophs. He plays hard and is a high level athlete. The Omersa comparison is not really fair, nor is the Rodney one, for different reasons. I view Prince as more skilled than both of them, not quite as athletic as Rodney, but with a high motor. By...

Not a big what if person but I'll do it anyways, what ff we had won just one game of the MSU, Maryland or Wisky games. Feeling good about things but so encouraging to be winning games that we should, and being hyper competitive in the ones that are against solid teams. Been a while since...

I've watched 3 of the 5 games, the three that have been against more legit opponents (UTA, SJU, ARK). The good: - Coffey; better than advertised, very good with the ball and in transition, best passer on the team. - Curry; he is very, very smooth and doesn't look overwhelmed, shooting stroke is...

Watching Oregon thrash LSU. Rather sad it didn't work out with Devoe here. He is a very good offensive player, and is fun to watch. Did we offer Carlos Emery? I thought at one time we were interested. He looks pretty good. Might be the Oregon system, but he is a big body, athletic, and...

I don't think enough can be said for his development this year. He is turning into the guy that does a bit of everything; score in transition, rebound, block shots, assist, etc. One sequence last night that I think epitomized his development, in a round about way: bricked a free throw, then...

Might just be early season optimism, but I like what I see. The offense moves better, we have more athleticism on the perimeter, and we seem to play faster. Many have improved (Austin, Trevor, Rodney, Mav), and the newcomers have shown something early (Dre, Eliason). Overall it seems positive...

Can anyone summarize this Insider article...

We're getting close to early signing period. Any news on the recruiting front? Anything we should expect to hear? We've got a minimum of 1 scholly for next year, and the chatter on recruiting news is drying up. JohnnyGopher? Anyone?

Going against the grain here. While I am sad to see Devoe go, I am not feeling too bad about the teams prospects. We have some history without Devoe (winning our first several games this year), and I am looking forward to others step up and play big the rest of the year. Specifically, I have...

Overall - very ugly and frustrating to watch. Seemed like one of those games where the squad just wasn't ready to play. I found myself throwing the remote and cursing several times, especially with Ralph, Devoe and Colton. Rodney - best game I have seen him play. He was active on both ends...

Are there any video highlights anywhere from last night's game?

Did I miss something? Who the H are the "Cagers"? http://www.gophersports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=8400&ATCLID=205035602

At one point last night, we had Walker, Ahanmisi, Hollins and Armelin out there together, and that was the group that brought us back into the game after being down early. I was skeptical when we signed 6 guys this year that even half of them would ever contribute, but I am glad I was wrong...

Some thoughts after watching the game last night. Not covering everybody, just those on my brain. The good: Hollins - very impressive. He just seems to know how to play. We are very lucky to have him with Devoe being out. His shot looks a little funny but it works, and I am not scared to...

i can't find the link; can someone send?

Some thoughts from last night. Freshmen/Newcomers: Hollins - most impressive out of all from my perspective. Much more athletic than I expected, very fluid, smooth player. I can see why Tubby likes him; seems like a nice, quiet kid who plays hard. I expect him to be in the rotation all year...
