    All Things 2021 Gophers Basketball Recruiting Thread

    I understand the frustration. I tend to roll my eyes at the subtle digs at my coach, but it cleary bothers you quite a bit more. Why not just block him and move on? I've done that with a few posters and my experience here is better for it. I get just as frustrated with the crusaders who feel...

    Brockington Commits!

    I have to think there are SEC schools wishing they'd gotten involved earlier. They have to hate the idea of PJ poaching from their backyard! It'll be interesting to see where his offer list/star rating end up before it's all said and done.

    I agree. I just seem to remember that this was how they were able to sidestep justice.

    Are you assuming (don't ever assume...) that it is: a. preposterous that any student could be having trouble deciding this late. b. preposterous that Kerwin is having trouble deciding this late. c. unlikely that Kerwin is having trouble deciding this late and using the word "preposterous" as...

    I can't BELIEVE Badger didn't disclose that UNC has had a winning program! C'mon, Badger! What else are you hiding! :rolleyes:

    Built...I feel like remember reading that a disproportionate number of the students were athletes being funneled to the classes by "academic" advisors. The university weaseled their way out of punishment because the courses were technically open to all students (though athletes were the ones...

    Willis to Grad Transfer from Minnesota

    I hope the Greenlee situation doesn't turn into another Justin Cobbs situation. Cobbs got much more time than Greenlee, but also seemed to have a bit of a short leash. Cobbs transferred out and was a Cousy Award finalist at Cal. I'm not saying Greenlee is as good as Cobbs, but it's not...

    Dutcher days with 7 footers on the roster

    I agree that a program needs a system, but having a couple tricks up your sleeve is a great way to gain a possession or two...and it’s fun! It gives players a chance to focus on new things in the same way a trick play in football is a way have fun and potentially catch your opponent sleeping...

    Dutcher days with 7 footers on the roster

    I'm personally a man guy, but I'm intrigued by the possibilities to run a couple different looks at people. Love pack-line, especially with the shortened shot clock. It often creates forced shots from the offense and gives better rebounding position than the on-the-line-up-the-line method...

    Dutcher days with 7 footers on the roster

    I'm intrigued with what a zone could look like with some of the long-armed athletes we'll have next year. Robbins protecting the rim with Ihnen and Mitchell anticipating passing and bringing weak-side help? Carr and Gabe pressuring all over the backcourt? Yes, please!

    Minnesota kids you really enjoyed watching

    Loving the walk down Amnesia Lane! I feel like Kevin Lynch needs a mention. I remember being beyond excited to see him play at the Civic Center. Also Jeff Norgaard from Dawson-Boyd. I remember the guy from The Full Court Press trying trace his hand, but couldn't find a piece of paper big...

    Transfer list possibilities, Spring 2020

    I’m not in favor of hanging banners because I approve of cheating. I’m in favor of hanging banners as a protest toward the NCAA. Our severe punishment should have been levied toward UNC. The unbalanced approach taken by the NCAA is incredibly maddening.

    Transfer list possibilities, Spring 2020

    With Mitchell, you have us with 16 players. Are three of these guys walking on?

    Transfer list possibilities, Spring 2020

    To a degree it is, but it's also the reality of the players we have. It can be taught to a certain extent, but a lot of it is understanding and instincts. I don't think the overall talent/ability of our roster has been as good as some others. This is part of the reason why. That said, put...

    Dan Dakich under investigation for comments on Scottsburg basketball coach firing

    I used to like Dakich a lot because he was honest and knew the game better than most of the analysts we see/hear. However, the last few years it seems like he's stretching for shock value. He blabs about things things he hasn't researched or studied. He's become a Stephen A. Smith/Skip...

    Your all-time favorite Gopher basketball player

    I remember watching Trent Tucker chuck shots from deeper than I'd ever seen. That memory sticks. I got dunked on once by Sam Jacobson. That was pretty cool. Shikenjanski was fun to say. Burton was dominant in the clutch. Bobby Jackson was relentless on both ends. Marc Wilson, Ray Gaffney...
