My candid thought is that he has been slightly disappointing / trending in the opposite direction as Robbins since the start of the season. I think he has the potential to be a special player and he certainly rebounds well and can be a strong defender, but he's 21 years old... not like he's an...

In short, I agree. I've seen Pohto play as well, and while given a small sample size, I absolutely think Pohto gets court time before Treyton does for the Gophers. Pros: Like OP said, Treyton moves well and appears to have a smooth shot (which he rarely uses). Does pretty well being in the...

Didn't sound like Aligbe was seriously considering the Gophers in his interview with Doogie last week. There is time though, so hoping that changes, but as Ryan James keeps pointing out, the long-term recruitments with Pitino typically haven't yielded good results vs. his strong ability to go...

And may be for the better that it doesn't happen. A win vs. Nebraska does nothing for our resume, a loss would be looked at as a blemish. Playing them just lowers our SOS which looks so good as it stands right now.

https://247sports.com/player/saia-mapakaitolo-46098519/ 2021 guy. I think if transfers were considered in recruiting rankings we'd have or be pushing a top 10 newcomer class nationally right now.

Pinckney and Val Martin are going to do wonders for helping stop the run next year. With those two plus D'Angelo Carer, DT is in good hands. I'm really hoping that Abilene Christian guy turns out to be good. We got beat down the middle so much last year that DT, LB, S play is going to be...

Both Gach has me more concerned than any of the sophomores.

Hope not. He's a helluva player. And kind of old too, wouldn't think he'd even want play college all beyond 1-2 years.

That was an embarrassing effort. Not sure about you guys, but I'm at the point now I just don't feel they are worth flipping the tv on for when they are playing a road game. Side note: Hunter Dickenson is going to be one of those annoying Garza types who we're going to have to see dominate for...

Honestly, if this opens up a spot for someone like David Roddy or Jamison Battle to transfer home next year, that would be huge for the program. Roddy is an absolute bulldog (like Jordan Murphy in guard form) and Jamison is a wing with size that shoots well and rebounds well.

I have never seen a big man stop Liddell and Young on the interior this year even remotely at the level Robbins did tonight. He is so dang impressive as a rim protector it's unbelievable. Really glad to see Both and Mash bounce back tonight, and most importantly... Gabe. I'm still not pleased...

No worries, I get what you meant! And yeah, I like the 2 libero concept as it eliminates the pipe/bic attack from the backrow, consequently eliminating one point of attack and improving floor defense.

PSA: Brady Boyd is absolutely going crazy right now. Doing this against Texas 6A competition as well in their regional championship game (Texas 6A is the highest level of HS football in the entire country). I truly think he's going to be one of the phenomenal gopher receivers when all is said...

Turned it on and the score was 70-29 with like 8 mins left in the game :oops:

Woohoo! 22 games and all the top B1G teams on the calendar. Only teams they will not face this spring are Rutgers and Indiana, two lower tier B1G teams that frankly wouldn't put up much competition to Minnesota.

That would be a set, not a hand pass. :)

I just find it weird that top guys refuse to come here because they don't think they can compete for a final four run or make the NBA as a Gopher. That's just lazy to me. The last "top" MN guys to stay home weren't even 5-stars and both are currently playing for the Clippers. I was talking to...

That's not blasphemy at all. I've heard that discussed before as well as eliminating hand passing to get teams out of system more == better rallies.

Decided to refrain from posting in-game as I was enjoying the game / spending Christmas with a small number of family/friends tonight. Wow, heck of a win!! Johnson and Carr were the obvious stars tonight, but another guy we couldn't have won the game without... Robbins. He put up a fight...

100% agree. You'll see many teams have their DEs switch between strong and weak side during games as a part of different rush packages. Mafe and JJ are athletes, they would have no problem on either end.
