    "It definitely is surprising," Jackson McAndrew on not receiving Gophers' offer

    Agreed. Complete guess since I didn’t watch the interview, but the question was probably loaded and achieved its exact purpose - to keep the build the fence crowd fired up. Why is a gopher oriented reporter even doing an interview with this kid? Auditioning for the star tribune?

    "It definitely is surprising," Jackson McAndrew on not receiving Gophers' offer

    I don’t think there’s anything to suggest that the gophers want him. Also, if rumblings are correct, you don’t waste your time chasing after a guy ranked 174 if he’s told he he doesn’t want you. There are only so many hours in a day and it would be foolish to waste your time on him. This guy is...

    Damian Johnson: No way people can look at the Elite 8 field & say NIL & portal is ruining college hoops

    Sure, it will probably ebb and flow until donors figure out the right balance. I guess I’m just in disagreement with Damien. IMO, the fact that the most visible player in the NIL is now in the final four after 1-2 years is not a good thing. FAU and SDSU being there is awesome, though.

    Jamison Battle to enter the Transfer Portal

    I agree on greenlee, but I don’t think Pitino coached Carr improperly, I think he failed with the rest of the team. It’s not like Carr is all of the sudden on draft boards - he’s the same player with two more years of experience and surrounded by substantially more talent.

    Bryan Greenlee former Gopher Leads FAU to Sweet 16 err Final 8 err FINAL FOUR!!

    Happy for greenlee, and other guys like this who end up succeeding. And this is a good example of why I’m still ticked off BJ didn’t find a pg to take a chance on in year 0.

    Pitino’s career would be over with this news.

    Caledonia native Eli King in portal from Iowa State

    Can he essentially make up for the loss of Henley in the build plan? If so, sign him up.

    Jim Dutcher figures the current Minnesota program under second-year coach Ben Johnson is “making progress.”

    Ben’s done an admirable job at recruiting, and has completely exceeded my expectations, but I fear that the tape has or will soon catch up to him. Garcia had committed a couple of days prior to Cooper last year, so Payne and JOJ are the difference in the front court this year. Cooper was, by...

    Jim Dutcher figures the current Minnesota program under second-year coach Ben Johnson is “making progress.”

    We’ll see. There’s also a lot more tape out there now of Ben’s teams sucking. Two players that have transferred in have since entered the portal with a year of eligibility remaining. Certainly having Payne and JoJ as sophomores is better than what we had as a foundation last year, but I think...

    Won’t matter if Tennessee keeps shooting like this.

    All Things NCAA Tournament Games

    Question: can a player be called for an offensive foul if contact with the defender is only made be the ball? Example… Duke player was playing tight defense, Tennessee’s guard made a rip move of sorts, and the Duke defender was hit in the face by the ball. Offensive call was made.

    There were a lot of possessions where Edy camped, but fdu pressured the guards and put two defenders in the lane. I imagine the screens was an attempt to get him to move around? Whatever he was trying to do though, it’s amazing that it failed so poorly.

    Did Painter show up to work tonight? No adjustments, plays drawn up in timeouts led to turnovers and points the other way. Sheesh.

    Hallman: Minnesota AD checked our box—he hired a Black coach. Now the question we ask is will Johnson be given the time and support to succeed

    What I take from this experiment is that “closing the boarder” for high school recruits is a myth. This idea idea has been stoked by local dads who speak publicly about the recruitment process to the local media - they plant the idea that the U has been at fault for not caring enough about the...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS MARYLAND BTT 2ND ROUND IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I’m under no allusions that we have a realistic shot at this game, but the refs man. Just awful. There is no flow to this game, and I don’t know what a foul is anymore.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS MARYLAND BTT 2ND ROUND IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    A lot of phantom calls on Henley and JOJ tonight. Frustrating when Maryland is overplaying everything the same way on defense.
