Huh, wonder if it's academic or injury or discipline related.

next week's tidbit: While the Gophers open their 2022 football season against New Mexico State in Minneapolis in the Central Time Zone Sept. 1, Ohio State opens its season against Notre Dame in Columbus in the Eastern Time Zone.

Per Shooter: eker0016 is said to be quietly seeking Gisele Bundchen, but Gisele Bundchen can’t afford the revenue loss of Tom Brady, who, with his Tampa Bay contract and advertising contracts, could be worth nearly $100 million a year.

Yeah I would much prefer the guy in our program a year early than one year at a prep school. Even if he doesn't see a minute of game action, all the practice and teaching is worth it. Dave Thorson teaching defense is invaluable. A B10 strength and conditioning program blows a prep school out of...

I am hoping he can earn a few minutes and get some better coaching and weight room work this year. Those are all positives, even if he doesn't contribute much/at all this year. Hell even if he comes in and redshirts because he can't crack the lineup that is better than using the scholarship on...

Yup, and I love that he will develop with the Gophers program instead of with some 1 year prep school. I also wonder if it makes us a slight bit more attractive to Nolan Winter, since he would not be in the same class as Betts now.

Holy shit this is a great and creative move by Ben. I was hoping the whole "extra scholarship" thing would give them flexibility for a late transfer but I had not considered this. I just got even more excited for this season.

I agree that he could have gotten McKinley...but Rick's arrival in Iona didn't end Washington's career. He transferred to Long Beach State where I imagine he soaked up the sunshine for a year and had career bests in FG% (43%), minutes played (33.5), PPG (14) and assists (5). Google tells me he...

I'm excited to visit LA for a Gophers game. I used to live walking distance from the Rose Bowl and it will be fun to go back. I also live in Oregon and I would love if I could go to Eugene/Seattle every couple years for a Gophers game.

Un Fucking Believable

He was a Gopher for 4 days I was on record as really liking his game but I was unsure about how well he would do going up to the B10 because he was rail thin. Extremely versatile.

Key part from the article: Here's some of what McCutchin told GopherIllustrated following his Minnesota offer this spring.

Thank you for the response, that is an interesting story to hear. You are clearly the definition of a diehard fan! That is funny you almost got the RB to go to MN. I hope the move helped with the health issues. I also wear my Gopher gear frequently around here (Oregon) and it is fun to strike...

I asked ecoperson if he had lived outside of Minnesota. I found it gradually softened my edges about how I felt about the idea of Iowa/Wisconsin. In HS I gave shit classmates who went to Madison, but I feel differently now. Honestly I'm curious if this is a common progression. AlsoI live in a...

Out of curiosity, have you ever lived outside of MN? I left in 2008 and I have not lived there since, and any animosity I previously felt for neighboring states is now excitement when I meet a fellow midwesterner. Of course I still hate the sports teams, but I have no issue with people from the...

I personally am interested in his recruit rank/stars vs. coaching 'em up position

Actually not a bad idea. He can functionally be a grad assistant but he could play in a pinch if needed. And he gets the year for free. One of the walk-ons might be pissed...but oh well, Curry deserves it.

Yup I'm really curious to see him play this year. Sometimes when people say that about a guy like Rodney Williams it works out pretty well, and sometimes when they say it about a Jarvis Omersa it means they are not skilled enough to play in the B10. I like that he talked about growing a tougher...

We have a small sample size of games on tape, but we have 3 seasons each of statistics. That's almost as good as you can get. From an advanced stats perspective, in each of his 3 seasons Cooper has a higher PER (18, 13, 15) and eFG% (56, 50, 49) than Samuels PER (9, 10, 12) and eFG% (45, 45...

In his press conference/interview a week ago before Samuels committed, he said the roster was pretty much complete but he was thinking about adding a combo guard depth piece that could help Talon out a little bit and it was clear he was talking about Samuels or the Merrimack guy. Not saying...
