Is he really in the transfer portal or is that speculation:::: forget I saw your post....: Fleck and Martinez had a long talk after the Nebraska game...:seems like a lot of mutual respect.

i saw Eli and Noah play in Rochester against Waseca when Eli was a 10th grader. He was very athletic....but one of our friends said he looked like Randy Moss as a 10th grader in the Prep Bowl. You’re right....playing football for the Gophers would have been awesome....but going to Notre Dame to...

I think the relationship the coach had with the family made Iowa State the favorite to land Eli King. I don’t think he is bringing this up because he is feeling pressure because he didn’t pick the Gophers. Personally I think King should have gone to Notre Dame to play football....but that is...

His oldest brother Owen played for him at South Dakota State so he had a relationship with him already. I don’t think Eli King is feeling any push back for not picking the Gophers. I don’t know why some people are trying to dispute the narrative that Pitino was not well liked by many local...

Does St Thomas have its own message board site? I’m not trying to be snarky as I understand this thread is about college basketball this season....and St Thomas definitely falls into that category. I just think they should get one so their fans can talk about St Thomas sports.

Lakeville South had Marcus Brumm, Brady Soule, a Sorensen.

That first group that went to Lakeville South as juniors. That first graduating class from Lakeville South. I think their basketball coach was replaced mid season that year by long time football coach at Lakeville Larry Thompson. I watched a lot of high school basketball at that time, but I’m...

Yes things do change. I remember a few years back going to Bloomington Jefferson to watch Cole Aldrich against that first class of Lakeville South players and very few people were at the game. When I was growing up, that’s what we did on Friday nights....went to the basketball, football or...

Sorry I didn’t mean to get on you. I shouldn’t make this thread about Pitino. I’m excited for the start that we have had....but also realize it will take sometime to build back the program as everyone left. I was hopeful that Ben Johnson would have been able to convince Theo John, Dawson Garcia...

I disagree with your statement. Not all of them would have left. Minnesota players left at a much higher rate when Pitino was coach than at anytime in recent memory. I’ll tell you two stories. The first is when Tubby was hired here. I asked a friend who was an assistant basketball coach at a...

First of all, Ben Johnson hasn’t even had a high school recruiting class yet. I think as time goes on his high school classes will be better than Pitino’s. Secondly, who are all of these superior athletes Pitino supposedly got?? I’ll give you Oturu who came here because he’s from Minnesota and...

I’m glad we have Daniels and Curry on the team. Anyone who puts themselves on the line to play Gopher basketball has my support and respect. They should not be laughed at or mocked. We are short handed this year, especially in our front court. Hopefully some of the other bigs will earn more...

we’ve been losing most of our B1G games for over 20 years....

So I’m not sure how old you are, but the Barn was never really rockin with Marcus Carr. That was part of the problem with the last coaching staff. My first experience in the Barn was in 1976 against the Indiana Hoosiers. That Indiana team was the last undefeated National Championship team. My...

Maybe Freeman didn't fit what Ben Johnson wanted here. Maybe Freeman wanted a fresh start. I agree it would be nice to have more big men who can give us minutes. Has anyone heard how close Parker Fox is to being able to play? I've heard he is ahead of schedule but there is no time...

He doesn't follow recruiting very closely obviously. I can tell you that they know how to build relationships and have been very active at giving their recruiting targets attention. Will that translate to those players choosing to play basketball at the U? We will see, but the effort is there.

I love when the pass on a three point shot comes from the post.....like the Curry to Willis pass. Players get it in a better position to shoot.

It’s a good start to the game and season....but i think it will be a tough year if you are only looking at the record. I do believe that Johnson will have a good team here in a couple of years. I heard a story today that shows Ben Johnson’s class as a human being. It’s hard not to cheer for the...

I believe that some of the guys we missed out on were more receptive of the U than most people on here believe. Not all....but some.

maybe Pitino did for some of them....
