    Toledo’s Tyler Cochran commits to Minnesota.

    I think we all agree if we are going to be good this year with the losses from last year's team it will need to be because of our defense. This certainly helps that. I like adding DPOY from other leagues, that skill translates more often than not. Not saying this vaults is too the top but I...

    Fox 9: Gophers: Who are the new faces for the 2024-25 basketball squad?

    A few things I'd add. It's easy (for either argument) to cherry pick 1 team and use it as an argument. That didn't give context to injuries, type of games etc. PP was lower on minutes because they were worried about his back and fouls. On pure talent he would've played 30-34 a night. As...

    NCAA Basketball: 10 coaches who will face the most pressure entering 2024-25 season (Ben Johnson, Minnesota)

    https://www.sportico.com/leagues/college-sports/2024/big-ten-earned-880-million-2023-tax-return-1234779664/ I mean fairly easy answer. Too many people give CBJ/Coyle/bball program a pass. Sure we aren't Duke, KU, OSU etc in terms of NIL or cache, that's fine I'm not asking for titles every...

    All Things Class of 2025 Gophers Basketball Recruiting Thread

    I dont remember where I saw it but a national beat writer said he's even heard that collectives are paying kids at other schools to get the ball rolling. Hey we know it's February and you still have a month to play but here is 50k from us, if *wink wink* you transfer just keep us in mind. The...

    Does it pay to recruit high school kids?

    It's a really interesting question. On one hand it seems useless. A decent amount of freshman (at least realistic targets for the Gophers) aren't going to be huge contributors year 1. 30 years ago that's OK, now that means the kid is either not good, annoyed they aren't playing, or get NIL...

    Gopher Potential Portal Pursuits

    For me this is just a part of the change in AAU/college basketball. In 1990 if a kid came in a year early and sat, then freshman year didn't play that was semi normal. Kids now days are playing high level opponents all the time and are more prepared for P5 early. Furthermore, with the portal...

    Gopher Potential Portal Pursuits

    I'd be SHOCKED if he ever amounts to anything. I doubt you can find a P5 player in the portal era (last 5-6 years) who was a 3* guy who essentially played 0 meaningful minutes in 2 years and then did something useful at that same school. Might be as easy as, they pay my school, they pay me NIL...

    Minnesota native Lu’Cye Patterson commits to the Gophers

    So 8 outgoing and 8 incoming. I feel like we lost all of our upside but gained useful depth. If given the choice I'd take upside all day but I guess old isn't always bad either. If I had to rank the incoming/outgoing I'd say: Cam Payne Hawkins Patterson Mitchell Asuma Odukale Carrington...

    Returning Playas for 2024-25

    Have you watched a game of basketball in your life? Garcia should have been DPOY??? This has to be a joke right? Let's look at some numbers. DBPM (how much better per 100 possessions you are in defense than average) Garcia 1.0, Hawkins 1.5, cam 0.6, Fox 3.6, K. Ware 2.7, Cliff O 5.1!. Ok how...

    Does Ben Johnson have any defenders left?

    I disagree completely in football. Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule has said that a good quarterback in the transfer portal can cost $1 million to $2 million, and that some teams pay $6 million or more to their players. In the days following Michigan’s win in the College Football Playoff, Ohio...

    Cam Christie is entering the Transfer Portal

    I think this is correct, and for the player, 100% the right move. But this is exactly I am over this current situation. I have 0 issue with the kid getting paid and 0 issue with testing the draft process BUT there needs to be some give and take. So since there are morons here who will twist...

    Caleb Williams commits to the Gophers

    Reading is hard..... find where I said anything about where he visited or find me where he visited Arkansas. You won't but just keep being dumb about it and avoiding actual facts.

    Caleb Williams commits to the Gophers

    Didn't say I knew where he visited but it is a 100% fact he didn't visit Arkansas. So I was right

    Caleb Williams commits to the Gophers

    Arkansas coach Eric Musselman and his staff are eyeing potential transfers early, reaching out to D3 standout Caleb Williams from Macalester College. Get a clue, 1. Muss is longer the coach there 2. They contacted him in February, WENT NOWHERE 3. Didn't even get close to a visit That's like...

    Cam Christie is entering the Transfer Portal

    I think this is the straw that broke this camels back. I think we have a awful coach. I think we have average to below average NIL. I think the NCAA is broken. Is all of this one person's fault, not in the least. But the system and our program is broken beyond repair. I can't say I'll quit...
