    Ross to UConn

    I'm sure his brother being on the team doesn't hurt but I don't picture UCONN as a team that burns scholarships on guys that can't play out of sentimental value. Historically the Gophers always offered the crappy older brother hoping the younger star brother would follow. Seeing UCONN and...

    Ross to UConn

    Um, did Ben have a sneaky good recruiting class coming in?

    Who would be your 21st century gopher team?

    I love the Gophers and enjoyed watching the players on those lists. However, the lack of NBA talent in 25 years is depressing.

    Official 2025 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    Whichever punter can do better than 34 yards hoping for no return and a roll. Australian style can be great when it works but if it is a good returner and they run up to catch or field before the roll it is terrible. Good to see there are some options this season.

    Reusse: Report cards are now available for all coaches and managers (Grade C Niko Medved, Gophers basketball)

    Ben Johnson won the lottery. Go invest a couple million in the s&p 500 and live of the yearly interest of six figures for life.

    High praise for Perich

    Safety: Koi Perich, Minnesota The Golden Gophers lost one of college football’s best safeties in Tyler Nubin and immediately found another in Perich. The true freshman’s five interceptions this past season trailed only Xavier Watts among FBS safeties, while his 88.9 PFF grade was seventh. He was...

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    Looks like he was a walk on at Gonzaga. Definitely needs to put on some weight. Gonzaga site says 190. Definitely can't teach 6'10" though so if he can be developed go for it.

    Hold out!! Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava did not attend Tennessee spring practice today. He’s been in conversations with Tennessee about a new contract.

    Interesting approach threatening a team that is interested in giving you a scholarship and money. UCLA in the college playoff just because they add him. LMAO. That kid sure thinks highly of himself. Even if he is the next big thing he's not taking that team to the playoff alone. They need a ton...

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    I don't disagree that they need to figure out the eligibility limits and fast but if a kid can make six or seven figures to pretend to go to school for a year why not. Working 9-5 for the next forty years sucks for most. If you can jump start early retirement or at least pay cash for a house...

    Nolan Groves

    All I know is I wouldn't want to be the one evaluating and trying to get the right players. At this point Groves ability appears to be somewhere between mid major and P4 on a better team than the Gophers. Time will tell what end of the spectrum he lands on. I do doubt he dropped out of the Ivy...

    Nolan Groves

    There is nothing preventing a coach from offering and recruiting a kid that is verbally committed somewhere. Giving someone like Groves the opportunity to play at a higher level, and make some money, may be something he was waiting for. Taking an educated guess that is probably what restarted...

    Grove & Groves

    Sounds like the name of a law firm in a comedy.

    Kenni Burns

    With this guy being so reckless it makes you question if anything ever happened at Minnesota and was kept under wraps.

    Nolan Groves

    Very true on everyone missing. It just makes you want to yell some expletives every time some lower star recruit in our own backyard slips out and blows up because we get hung up on higher rated ones.

    Chansey Willis Jr Commits

    Heck yeah. Now get a little depth at C/PF and let's play.

    Nolan Groves

    Funny how quickly this stuff changes. First he's perceived as not good enough to play in the BigTen and then he dumps the Ivy League for a power four with huge NIL. I guess time will tell but if he's good enough for TT it seems like a big miss by the local team.

    Hold out!! Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava did not attend Tennessee spring practice today. He’s been in conversations with Tennessee about a new contract.

    "contract". Oh boy here we go. Definitely some truth to money being the root of all evil. Sure makes it easier having it and others do terrible things to get it.

    2025 high school football thread

    I knew Caledonia was good but that dominance is insane.

    Shooter: Gophers' NIL budget this season —lowest in the Big Ten — was in the $700,000 range, of which Dawson Garcia got $500,000.

    Sure but how can they prove that big man on campus driving around in the free Porsche isn't essentially providing advertising without actually ever doing a commercial or being on a billboard? The premise sounds great but the NCAA was neutered years ago. At this point I think they would lose a...
