I wish otherwise, but rolling the dice with almost all mid-major players who never played a second together in a game, while having a undersized or near non-existent frontcourt in the Big Ten, my opinion, it defines the word a team bound to "implode" or a chance going winless in the physically...

Its rough watching several marginal transfer players reject the chance to showcase their assumed talents playing for the Gophers & the media exposure of the Big Ten.. Thus far, Minnesota recruiting for 2022 with high school players instate or otherwise has produced not a whisper of high...

If 6-7 forward Steffan Mitchell is the only transfer we can find to defend & rebound in the paint as our potential center expect Minnesota to look similar to a D-2 team attempting to compete in the physical & center dominant Big Ten....Mitchell plays to the max of his ability, he gives 100% on...

How are you able to coach-up a team in the Big Ten lacking no matchup size in the frontcourt, a player can flash heart & grit but still become overmatched with any form of physical offense in the lane. .It is hard to comprehend no present valued frontcourt transfer has zero interest in Minnesota...

Its obvious there are a few 4 or 5 star players in the transfer portal who possibly think they have a chance to be drafted somewhere in the NBA 2nd Rd, or sign a free agent contract, develop under a minor contract in the the D League or opt turning pro overseas....If they feel returning to a...

I hope we do offer and he accepts, but as a forward, Mitchell would be devoured & abused as a center in the Big Ten....Ben Johnson must uncover a couple sizeable bodies to at least protect the rim somewhat and maybe challenge for a few rebounds...The Big Ten is loaded with 6-10- 7-0 centers &...

I agree....Looking at several Big Ten rosters, almost every team will freely score at will in the paint against Minnesota, without any added size to keep teams honest or somewhat rebound & defend the rim, they will be lucky to win a handful of games....

Fact ...Steffon Mitchell is barely 6-7 and a non physical 200lbs, he is forward, maybe he could play center in D-2....He is a decent all around average player, similar to a 6th man off the bench on a good team...solid, blue collar, but far from the wow factor....

Almost all the "remaining centers" on the transfer portal have no impact or playing time on there previous teams..I have seen no offers from the Gophers for any of the 9-players...

Minnesota Gophers no doubt are likely desperate for frontcourt help to balance the guard and small forward roster assembled by Ben Johnson, especially matching in the physical & frontcourt size against several Big Ten teams, one problem . the transfer portal for centers with adequate experience...

https//uhoopsscouting.com......Considered a top source for Canadian BB scouting & player analysis....its been around for several years......

Player Note......In 2020 Universal Hoops Scouting {#1 source in Canadian BB recruiting} stated Cashius McNeilly was probably the best player in his recruited Canadian class that year....

If Miller commits, the star player for A&M with a likely NBA future, combined with athletic All-American D-2 Fox and proven 3pt. snipers in Battle and Loewe, along with much needed Guard depth McNeilly-Stephens-Sutherlin-Willis and probable improvement from Gach & Ihnen......It could become a...

Good for him & Gonzaga basketball, wish him well, lets move on and save the press clippings for future Gopher players....My hope Ben Johnson can unite our top state talent to have desire & pride to play for Minnesota, with the wealth of local 4-star players we lost thru the years we could...

I think its time to put a fork in the Holmgren banter, last time I looked, this is Gophers Basketball Forum, dedicated to players who will wear the maroon & gold. If you desire to continue ranting about a player who rejected the Gophers, I think one should go to where he desired to play...

The press & fans of Texas A&M basketball this week have chastised coach McNeilly for the assumption he is going to Minnesota along with their top basketball player 6-7 SG-F Emanuel Miller & Cashius Mc Neilly, ranked as #1 guard 2019 in Ontario Canada....Coach McNelly had 4-rostered Canadian...

I agree....We wish Bueckers the best and continued success...but....Lindsay Whalen who also was a recognizable talent who was trained and developed within the state like Bueckers, and could have played at several outstate colleges chose to showcase her ability in her state. Lindsay Whalen...

What would happen if Chet Holmgren, the home grown star decided to wear the maroon & gold ? I think it would alter the direction of future Minnesota Gopher Basketball in recruiting local talent besides his ability to transform Minnesota into a formable Big Ten leader.. There was time when a...
