    No need to panic! Yet.

    The current best combination additions would be Ken Evans (Jackson St. Sr.) and Keenan Fitzmorris (Stonybrook, 7' Sr.) because according to analytics MNs AdjOE would be 114.6, and AdjDE 98.5--making MN the #43 best roster in NCAA bb.

    Gopher Potential Portal Pursuits

    If Tyson can pledge millions in NIL to Arkansas, FedEx $25M to Memphis, Berkshire-Hathaway money at Nebraska, why are there no large companies in Mnpls that can support the UofM? General Mills, Target, Hormel, Xcel, Land-0-Lakes, USBancorp, 3M, BestBuy, United Health? FFS, why is it so...

    How will we do with our portal additions?

    OK, Frankie Mitchell is an even get with Hugley who's off the board. Now get Gray, O'Brien, Fitzmorris and we'll be Big Ten top tier!

    If Keenan Fitzmorris doesn’t pan out, do we entertain a repentant Dennis Evans?

    If Carrington doesn't come back, then all my efforts go toward Luke O'Brien (Colorado).

    I’d take Isaiah Gray (Cornell), Keenan Fitzmorris 7'/260(Stan/SB) and Carrington coming back. Boom. I prefer physical ball handlers/drivers/slashers like Gray/Carrington at the expense of spot shooters from 3. With Garcia, Hawkins, Christie, MMitchell we would be fine on the perimeter. At...

    Pharrel Payne visiting Indiana this week.

    He’ll get a few minutes every few games behind Ballo.

    How will we do with our portal additions?

    Thx. That roster as seen would be seriously Big Ten ready and a step up. A selling point in itself. Fitzmorris looks better than Liam Robbins due to his ability to shoot, rebound, and use both hands, but runs the floor similarly. Gray is a physical tough rim attacker we need, and with his...

    How will we do with our portal additions?

    Ok time to make a list of “best options” that are somewhat realistic taken from MN list of contacts. After watching them play all year (O'Brien, Hugley) and highlight tapes (Gray, Fitzmorris) here is my ideal roster with enough bulk at all positions, and conceivable rotations: Hawkins PG...

    How will we do with our portal additions?

    I have to believe that MN being competitive in the Big Ten, and has first rate facilities are the ancillary selling points. For certain needs, like center/wings can guaranty playing time. Obviously, guys like Mitchell, Hawkins, Garcia have input into what transfers are looking for other than...

    Former Waseca HS and NDSU 6-foot-10 big Andrew Morgan will visit the Gophers on Thursday

    I wouldn’t get too worked up about not landing a second team Summit League transfer. Have a little composure people. Everything is not life and death, black and white, etc. There will be positives coming out of this cycle of transfers.

    Kadyn Betts Announces He's Returning to Minnesota

    I have high hopes for him as he falls well into the rotation. Obviously coach and he have discussed the future plan. He seems to have grown in height and width since the end of last season. 3-4 star recruit, best at position in CO, then he reclassified to gain a year of P5 instruction...

    Former Waseca HS and NDSU 6-foot-10 big Andrew Morgan will visit the Gophers on Thursday

    Yes, but Payne has 20lbs minimum on Morgan, has a lower center, has better hops, and occupies more space. I too was hoping he wouldn't dash for the cash, but that's our world. Ideally, get a physical 6'10"/260lb+ dude to shoot, rebound, and occupy space in the paint. Don't care if he can step...

    Former Waseca HS and NDSU 6-foot-10 big Andrew Morgan will visit the Gophers on Thursday

    Wasn't sold on him from get-go. Think we can do better and bigger than 6'9" center in Big Ten. Morgan seemed to me like another Philip Rebraca. Nice role player. MN undoubtedly got outbid $NIL with Berkshire Hathaway money. There are a lot of quality big men in portal, and my hopes are we...
