I know nothing about this player beyond a few breakdowns and video cut ups. I'm hopeful that he'll be good. But my expectations are that he'll be a depth player who provides very little in year one.

If the 'hometown intel' is correct and the Gophers secure a commitment from Gach. Add Mutaf and you've got the making of a halfway decent looking outfit (assuming the Gophers get some waiver luck) If Robbins can't get a waiver but Gach can, I wonder if Pitino would consider deploying some...

Off topic but the maintenance issue with the dad doesn't surprise me one bit. Seemed a bit helicopterish to me. And as I said before, I don't particularly like the way either of the brothers played two years ago - black holes on offense. Kendall was obviously only a sophomore, so hopefully those...

Half those guys play center almost the entire time they are on the floor. Baynes is a center. He shoots a lot of 3s but he plays center. Ayton is a center. Even Collins might be a better fit as a center (though he'll have to play PF now with Capela in Atlanta). Ultimately, sure, there are...

Are you being intentionally obtuse or are you actually missing the larger point he was making? On the point, the old-school PF position is dying. More and more teams play four perimter guys around a center (which is also getting smaller and more perimeter-oriented for that matter). To say...

At this point, who are the Gophers reasonably in on? - We know they are after Gach - I'd assume his recruitment goes fairly quickly given the amount of interest. - They've 'reached out' Foreman, the Stony Brook kid - The Mutaf kid is an incoming freshman that they are reportedly in the mix...

From what I've seen on Gach, the motor runs hot and cold. When he's locked in and engaged, he can be impactful. Not sure what his wingspan is, but he plays long (some long guys don't extend their damn arms, negating the value of said length) and is cat-quick. I wouldn't expect 'lockdown...

Imagine the outrage if this hire would've been someone who hadn't ever lived here before

For those who want Tschetter, assuming nobody transfers (I know this is a massive assumption given the college hoops world we live in), we head into 2021 with Robbins (Sr.), Ihnen (Jr.), Omersa (Sr.), Mitchell (Soph), Curry (Sr. least likely given injury), Thompson and Tschetter. Is that too...

The efficiency worries me a bit as well - at his best, he's a capable 12-15 point per game guy but he had like an eight game stretch last year where he was brutal. Wasn't due to minutes and I will not buy that the system or coach was the crux of the issue. It wasn't when he was doing well. I get...

I wholeheartedly agree that going to college has value when it comes to building a brand or increasing your potential earnings down the road - something those who demand players be paid and think the college experience has zero value seem incapable of acknowledging. There's no way Zion would've...

I'm pessimistic on Holmgren staying here for a multitude of reasons. First, he's a top-three nationally rated recruit. Getting him means he's picking us over Kentucky, UNC, Duke, Gonzaga and all the college basketball royalty schools. When we can't beat schools like Marquette, Texas and...

I didn't like watching either of the Brown brothers at East Ridge a few years ago but Kendall is obviously a high-level prospect. Would be a very nice get for the Gophers (won't spend much time hoping though), as he'd slot in nicely on the perimeter next to Kalscheur and Mashburn (assuming...

Is it weird that I'm almost annoyed that Brown put us in his top-10?

You don't want to win at the level UW does? They've been like a top-20ish program for a better part of the last 20 years. Realistically (based on recruiting caliber), that's about the ceiling for what Minnesota can be in the college basketball landscape. I get that we are supposed to think...

Why is Gach leaving Utah? That seems like a solid program with a coach who is at least respected where he has a big opportunity as a starter and heavily featured player. He's talented. And if he wants in, I'd take him. But what do Utah folks say about him? I wonder if there aren't off-court...

And of that 7/8, you probably want 5/6 to be perimeter-oriented. Can conceivably play four guards at a time. You cannot play more than two bigs. Does that hurt Tschetter from the MN perspective? Lots of scholarships tied up at the PF and C positions already

Over/under 2.5 halves of Mac McClung basketball watched by Doogie before that tweet. I'm taking the under.

I don't think tabbing CAB as a breakout guy is going out on much of a limb. I'd expect him to post something in the 40-50 catches, 600-700 yards and 5-8 TD range. I'm more curious to see who steps into the CAB role from last year. Not necessarily in a literal 3rd WR sense, but definitely in a...

How much bigger of a season are Howden, Durr, St. Juste capable of? They were good last year - but I'm not sure there's legitimate upper-echelon levels to get to for those guys. Which is fine, as those guys are solid. I tend to think the defense will be alright, but as always, the challenge...
