"anti-Frese" is a great headline!

Who wouldn't want a trip to Europe, Australia, or elsewhere in the offseason.

Who can remember when we got our transfer portal commitments from the last two years? I know I need patience, but trying to figure out how much.

Is Minnesota theming the upcoming season "The New Dawn" though who the old Dawn is, I'm not sure? Dawn Staley?

Here's the quote from the Strib piece: "It appears all four of former coach Lindsay Whalen's highly-touted 2022 recruiting class of Mara Braun, Mallory Heyer, Nia Holloway and Amaya Battle will return."...

You think the Strib's analysis of the lack of black coaches in the Big Ten and NCAA as a whole, when there is and has been a high percentage black players, is the reason the program is bad? I know it's easy to blame the "media elite" and the deep administrative state, but come on. Was there...

That's quite the list and includes a lot of Big Ten teams, if that's something he likes. Step 1: We're contacted him.

While very much the most likely scenario, wouldn't Marquette upsetting South Carolina be an amazing profile boost: MN hiring (and paying dearly for) the coach that beat UConn and South Carolina in the same season.

Regardless of how the transfer portal shakes out or how players develop in the offseason, there has to be a level of performance that cools Ben’s hot seat. Last place won’t do it. NCAA Tourney would be great, but that’s a big jump. Would making the postseason NIT be necessary? Here’s the Big...

The lesson for Marcus Jenkins and Ben: when burned by Kool-Aid twice, don't ever drink it again.

I'm not sure if this would help the program or himself, but anyone know if he's considering reclassifying to the 2023 class?

I like the Barn - when it's full. It is a great atmosphere. The reality is that there a lot of competition in this market for ticket dollars. I love the flexibility that Texas' arena has. Based on recent history for men's, women's, and volleyball, the top would often be blocked off. When...

In this article from August, Knueppel makes no mention of MN in his recruitment. It appears to be Asuma or bust.

Since Jenkins was the last assistant hired, and didn't seem to be the first choice, I was worried it wouldn't work out well. But with Henley, Betts, and now Evans, he seems to be more than pulling his weight. Hopefully these guys develop.

With USC and UCLA to the B1G, one would think that conference games in Southern California would be a plus that Minnesota could offer that TCU and Kansas cannot.

7'2" Top 25 Dennis Evans seems to have Minnesota in his Top 3.

I think we're in a lull with the Gophers because they are waiting on a shooting guard that is currently going through the draft process. Maybe that's a specific one or maybe they feel like they have some good possibilities and it's worth waiting. I would guess that would be Hunter Jr., but...

Anyone familiar with the NBA draft exploration process? I'm wondering if Ben might keep one or both of the remaining scholarships for a higher level player who might be testing the waters, like Hunter. I'm wondering when they'd be done and be likely to announce a school, if transferring.

No inside information here. Just speculative hope. It seems like Green will most likely go to Iowa State. In high school it seemed like Iowa State might have been the runner up to UNI. At UNI his dad was an assistant for his first few years. Now his dad is at Iowa State. Those are the...
