    Fresh Start Liam Robbins Thread

    I'm a Cyclone alumnus and even I'd be hard pressed to advise him to do that. He'll have a dozen better options and chances of landing in Ames are pretty much zero. Staying with the Gophers would be better than ISU right now. Kinda think he's going to be a Hawkeye which will make both the...

    Gabe to Iowa State

    I'm a Cyclone and stopped watching even though I was bored and stuck at home isolating all winter. Cyclones were like the road Gophers, only worse, and for ALL games. It was something beyond a dumpster fire of a season. Not even sure how you claw back after it. Landing any quality P6 player...

    Transfer Portal

    Nyamer Diew is leaving Butler. Freshman 6'-1", sounds athletic from Butler bio and limited stats. Had a lot of blocks in last few games of season. Coming off an ACL her HS senior year I think. I think she also played on North Tartan so obviously a known here in spite of not being ranked as a...

    NCAA Tournament Games Sweet Sixteen Games 2021

    Every time it looks like UConn is going to run it out to 20, Iowa responds to keep it respectable.

    NCAA Tournament Games Sweet Sixteen Games 2021

    So who you all getting behind today? Big 10 connection with Iowa and Minnesota connection with Czinano? Or local gal connection with the big bad UConn? Hoping the ESPN talking head don't spend the ENTIRE game blabbing about the freshman guards but they probably will, they don't seem to...

    PP: Everyone Returning for Gophers

    This is going to be an interesting spring/summer. Lots of gals entering the transfer portal but it is complicated by the whole extra year thing, seniors having to decide whether to graduate and move on or play another year, and budget considerations. NCAA granting an extra year doesn't...

    Katie Borowicz joins the Gophers early!

    Just saw this in the paper and stopped by to see what peeps were thinking about it. First reaction was "yikes" than thought might as well. Gophers are looking to essentially rebuild this year in a really strong Big 10 and everyone gets that "extra" year if they want so why the heck not...

    Game 2: Gophers Host Drake (12/6/20)

    I watched the 2nd half of Iowa at Drake. Drake had the lead in the 4th but had some untimely turnovers. That and too much Monika Czinano cost them the game. Iowa/Iowa State/Drake play each year so I see them a bit. Jeannie Barancyzk has proved to be a heck of a coach at Drake and am sure she...

    2020-21 Season: How will we watch it?

    You can subscribe online for a school specific pass for $9.95 a month and cancel after the season. $30 will catch you all of the games. I did this last year with ESPN+ for Iowa State games (volleyball/MBB/WBB). Going to do it again this season. Will maybe add BTN+ app for Gophers because...

    Stollings in some hot water at Texas Tech

    She's pretty much thrown everything but the kitchen sink into her suit. Assume she's looking for some sort of settlement because going to trial will mean scores of ex-players on the record telling what an abusive ass she is.

    WBB Impacts: NCAA extra season of eligibility to winter sport athletes

    Roster and scholarship limits will be a challenge. I think they are going to offer a temp increase above 15 but that will still be somewhat difficult in a time where departments are cutting costs. I think more schools than not don't even max out at 15 now. My examples are Gophers at 14 and...

    WBB Impacts: NCAA extra season of eligibility to winter sport athletes

    Did not see this discussed here as it pertains to WBB or at least not in a specific thread on it. I think the 2021 transfer portal might be crazy busy with senior graduates that ordinarily would be graduated and out of eligibility. Throw in the probability of the one time immediate eligibility...

    Stollings in some hot water at Texas Tech

    So sad to see that this sort crap was going on but at least Tech terminated these people. But also glad that this didn't explode here in Minnesota. Huge luck out for us that Tech hired her away.

    Whalen contract extended a year

    Agree as it helps counter some of the negative recruiting that was likely to include trying to plant doubts along those lines like "Psst, psst. Hey, her star player quit!" The one year extend was a no brainer and good move IMHO.

    Destiny PItts: Transfers to Texas A&M (All Things Suspension and Transfer Related)

    Div 1 is not by semester for eligibility determination so she has two years left to play her one remaining year. If she plays the 2nd semester next season she is done with college hoops, it counts as a full year. Bryanna Fernstrom is an example, she transferred from Iowa State to the Gophers...

    Destiny PItts: Transfers to Texas A&M (All Things Suspension and Transfer Related)

    This might be true. WNBA is the top 144 players in the WORLD. Last years Big 10 POY and 2019 Citizen Naismith Trophy Award winner got drafted, cut, resigned before getting to play in 25 games and average a little less than 5 ppg. The Big 12 POY got signed by the Lynx after getting cut by the...

    Texas Tech gets a wake up

    Tech is not making the NCAA's even in the weak sauce version of this years Big 12. They are dead last in scoring defense in the league so far. The Big 12 is likely to have only four teams or so in the dance at this point if the picks are truly objective and based on merit. Anything more than...

    B1G Game 6: Gophers Host Iowa (1-9-20)

    Wow, great recruiting stats, lotta work in that. I am #1 a Cyclone but Gophers are my #2 which makes me doubly interested in rival Iowa. Watched the Hawks gut out a 2OT win yesterday. The hate her if you're an opponent, love her if you're a Hawk, Kathleen Doyle missed a triple double by...
