Look at NBA mock drafts. At this point Cam Christie is not even mentioned in the top 120. I think it is unlikely he would leave to be a G league player. Regarding Hawkins, he has taken his one “free” transfer. If he leaves, he sits for a year. Highly doubtful that he’d do that. I’d say Hawkins...

Some kids, and some kid’s parents, simply do not want to be in a big city. They want to be in a college town. I’ve gone through this with my own kids and grandkids looking at colleges (not D1 athletes). Many kids prefer the college town vibe. Some who didn’t grow up in the city are intimidated...

He is a skilled player. With another few months of strength training and summer ball, he will definitely see playing time and will help this team. I am guessing he will surprise some. Look forward to seeing him play!

https://smartasset.com/mortgage/americas-most-charitable-states Minnesota actually ranks number 8. D.C. is #1. The first southern state listed is Alabama, at 18. Now, let’s get back to basketball. (A lot of these arguments are easily settled with a quick Google search.)

Thanks. Found a nearby bar who put it on one of the TVs (instead of Twins game). We were the only people in the place watching the game :-(.

Don’t have it either. Any watch parties locally? Would Buffalo Wild Wings or other sports bars bother to put it on? Where is a good spot to watch it?

Okay. Maybe. We’ll see. I’m guessing he will be listed as a Senior, but maybe you have inside info that I don’t.

Wow! Such an incredible ability to put a negative spin on most anything. Garcia could have gone overseas to play and been immediately making multiples of six figures, OR, he could have entered the portal and gotten big $$ offers from big money schools. Ben was simply stating the obvious. We all...

???? You are saying that Dawson graduated? He was listed as a Junior all year, and he left school at North Carolina to return home mid-season and did not enroll at the U until the following fall. Would think that would have put him behind on credits. He didn’t go through Senior day. He is a...

Morgan is not the only (or most talented) Big man in the portal. I think Ben did pretty well (in spite of high anxiety and ample criticism) finding two capable guards in the portal last year. I’m not panicking. Garcia is back. Let’s see how it plays out. What would it mean if no one else was...

I posted about Evan’s being in the portal after I saw his name/profile on the portal list. In absolutely no way was I serious about ever, ever having him play as a Gopher. My guess is, as others have said, he will never play for a Power 5 team.

Agree. Watched the game. Some great shooting. Connell is the real deal. Love watching Cream Abdul Jabbar, doesn’t get rattled. Much better passer and shooter than Payne. They are clearly better than our 2023/24 Gopher squad, but we played them tough. Connell couldn’t miss in that game!

Likely not about $$ for any of them except Payne. It is about playing time.

I’m not counting any chickens until Cam and Dawson decide if they are staying. If they both stay, we have a solid team to build around since we know Hawkins and Mitchell are staying. Plus, I think Betts will contribute , as will Asuma. The guys/minutes we’ve lost so far from the portal are...

I have not closely followed the Evans situation, but the last news item I saw said he’d left Kentucky To return home to CA with an undisclosed medical condition. He did not complete the season at Kentucky.

Hot to be overlooked: Dennis Evans is in the portal. Could be in maroon and gold after all. 🙂

Aww, at least a Gopher hoodiie.Mine are looking a bit ragtag. (Don’t undervalue us season ticket holders. Someone has to go to games.)

If I rank high enough I will demand NIL $$ or I will enter the portal.

Gee Tim, you are clearly a genuine fan. Bet you donate generously to the Gopher scholarship fund. As a season ticket holder,, I am very pleased that Mitchell will be back to tandem with Hawkins. He was a solid contributor, and will only get better.

Group dynamics are tricky and there are often sub groupings and “informal leaders” under the surface and behind the scenes. Jealousies and resentments are not uncommon on sports teams or work teams, especially when there is a limited amount of a desired commodity (in this case, PT, publicity...
