    Gopher Potential Portal Pursuits

    File a lawsuit and see what the courts say! However, if your team comes back and takes the lead, can you transfer back?

    Alright, now who?

    It's an easy association to make. I had to look it up myself to be sure. Basically if the kids are in line come May 1, they can make a move. At least until the next lawsuit is filed allowing kids to transfer anytime they want. While we are at it, let's just go to in-game transfers. Maximize...

    What good is the NCAA?

    Witchcraft.

    Alright, now who?

    Kids have to be in the portal by May 1. They can commit anytime after. Grad students can enter and transfer at any time.

    BREAKING: Elijah Hawkins to transfer

    The Portal is eternal. It never sleeps. It never rests.

    The 'coaching is irrelevant' Thread

    I might add I can guarantee you agents are using this against us at every possible turn. It is hard not to feel right now like we are in a world of shit. I realize it is happening everywhere, but we don't have a lot of success or history of success as a fall back position. Hope he can pull a...

    What good is the NCAA?

    Depends on if there is a lawsuit. There's gold in 'der 'dem hills. It's every man for himself in CBB. Everybody is staking claims left and right. Shoot first, ask questions later!

    Damnit! I knew there was a catch!

    Time to think outside the box

    According to the late Kobe Bryant, European players are more fundamentally sound. TRM has potential. Market it as direct exposure to the NBA. I would still be willing to be a funnel. Not for Sainthood as so generously offered by Gopher_in_NYC, but for Gopher Nation. :D

    Time to think outside the box

    I suspect something similar. The current system is completely unsustainable.

    BREAKING: Elijah Hawkins to transfer

    I went to a Minnesota Moose game once a long time ago. That is the only minor league game I've ever seen, and that is because we had free tickets.

    BREAKING: Elijah Hawkins to transfer

    We are here because of hubris and a lack of leadership in the NCAA. They could have nipped this in the bud a long time ago had they put some forethought and effort into the problem. An unstable product is not sustainable. Volatility is generally bad business, and most do not tolerate it well...

    Time to think outside the box

    Probably right. We'd go ask the NCAA for permission first, ya know if it wasn't too much trouble because we don't want to step on anyone's toes. Step 1: Hang the damn banner back up. Stop being chumps.

    Time to think outside the box

    If the rumors are true that our NIL is hurting, or simply to bolster the funds, I have a proposal. Hire me as Director of Player Retention. Pay me a salary of $10-$15M per year. I'll take a 3% commission (after taxes), and the rest I donate to DTA. This will help transfer the money from the...

    Gophers point guard Elijah Hawkins 'definitely coming back next year'

    This model, if you can call it one, is simply unsustainable at this point. It cannot continue. They are destroying their own product from the inside out.

    Short, simple and spot on!

    Former #Gophers DE commit transfers to MN from Clemson.

    Something tells me the DL is going to be much, much improved. Coach D has got a vision these kids are responding to, and it probably doesn't hurt he isn't that far removed from his playing days. He can directly relate to the kids. Dude is in beast mode!

    'Do I get floor seats?' College coaches pass on athletes because of parents' behavior

    I'm guessing no. I've played on and coached teams with toxic parents. They can completely sink a team, and it usually transfers to the their kid, too. In some of the developmental leagues where I helped coach, I'd see a kid and be totally confused as to how they got cut from their team. The...

    2024-25 Big Ten Free Agent Signings

    My guess is this had to do with attitude and what was between the ears. A guy with that much raw talent doesn't go from starter to pariah because he was too dense to figure out his assignments. I'll speculate - Like so many boss / employee entanglements, he disagreed with the feedback he was...
