    2023 College Basketball Transfer Portal Watch Thread

    I don't know anything about anything, but it seems like with each passing day no news is bad news.

    All Things Transfer Portal News

    Former four-star DB and Gopher commit Avante Dickerson. Played in 12 games as a true freshman but only one last year.

    Caledonia native Eli King in portal from Iowa State

    It's weird how some people are focusing on this. What's Ben supposed to do? "Hey, Jack, yeah -- I always post this fun little gif of Denzel when we sign a recruit, but I don't think you're deserving of a tweet. That might take me 20 seconds and I've got sh!t to do. You understand."

    Big Ten Football: 3 most overrated head coaches ahead of 2023

    Yeah, I don't know where "one of the top coaches in the conference" came from. My guess is this guy is just sick of hearing about PJ. If you're a fan of an opposing team, I understand. As a fan of the Gophers, if that means Fleck is going to stay here a while longer, I'm good with it.

    Jeremiah Carter Named Sr. Associate AD for NIL/Policy and Risk Management

    Hiring a person specifically to lead NIL is a good step, but the fact that he's coming from compliance dampens my enthusiasm. They need a fundraiser. I know, I know -- the school can't raise its own money for this. But they can reach out to donors and "help" them understand the process and how...

    Bands/Artists From Minnesota!

    I read in the Strib a while back that he is, indeed, a mailman now.

    Miami Men’s Basketball players are receiving a total of $2.2 Million in NIL payments among all players in the program combined.

    I heard that, too, and also heard him say the same thing later with the Skor North guys, when he added that the source was Mike Grimm. He also said that time he's not sure it's true.

    SI article on 2019 Virginia title being a fluke!

    Virginia needs to fire him so he feels desperate to come here.

    Caledonia native Eli King in portal from Iowa State

    This used to be a pet peeve of mine. If someone wanted to go somewhere else and use the Gophers as a fallback option if it didn't work out, screw 'em. But the easy transfer rules and free agency aspect of college sports have changed everything. I now expect every player to leave a program before...

    A group of Gophers men’s and women’s basketball boosters are seeking $25,000 per member through Dec. 31 with goal of $250K for NIL

    It's not you and me who are going to move the needle. It's people who don't have to worry about sending their kid to college. I do wonder who the members are, though. Members of what? The Dunkers, I guess?

    Dawn Plitzuweit Named New Gopher Head Coach!

    The last time Brenda left a job after one year she stayed at the next one for 21 years ... and counting.

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    Just because we haven't hired the right coach the past few chances doesn't mean we can't do it right next time or we should stop trying. Both Pitino and Johnson were ridiculous reaches for a Big Ten program. We're one competent, experienced coach away from becoming relevant. We need the will and...

    Potts and MBS in portal

    In fairness, one of these programs is on the Titanic while the other, comparatively speaking, is on the Love Boat. The transfers on the defensive side make me nervous, but we've already brought in players this transfer season who many thought would -- or could -- play ahead of these two.

    Shama: Gophers are heavy with front court returnees and it wouldn’t be surprising if 7-foot Minnesota native Treyton Thompson enters transfer portal

    Unpopular opinion: I hope he stays, too. Not everyone needs to be a star, or even a starter, as long as he's okay with that and keeps working on his game.

    Dawson Garcia: Who have been the locker room leaders? Parker Fox and Isaiah Ihnen. (video)

    Why am I not surprised that as soon as a couple Gophers get a nice shoutout from a teammate some people here feel the need to crap on them?

    Aaron Philo Commits!!!!

    I haven't seen anything negative but if it's out there, I'd bet 99% of it is not from Gopher fans. In my experience, casual Minnesota sports fans who don't follow teams closely are mostly clueless when trying to talk seriously about a team, and that's what you get on Twitter. I've learned not to...

    Is It Realistic to Move On From Johnson This Year?

    The pipeline from Lakeville is buried deep below Minneapolis and doesn't pop up above ground until it hits Madison.
