They have landed some decently rated players and Deal for 2025 is a Top 25 recruit (and they will have some promising young posts on next season roster) but while they have gone after a lot of top rated recruits they haven't landed many. Still, their NCAA runs with Clark have certainly given...

League was a little top heavy but next year it will be "middle heavy" with a lot of teams in the top 30 or so but just outside of the 16 that will get to host. League play will still be a tough slough. Still, the Gophers should be as good as a lot of those behind the the UCLA and Maryland...

Class of 2030. Maybe offered at AAU thingie in AZ this last weekend. Think Iowa coaches were there.

The Hilton comment made me chuckle. I was a student when we moved from the Old Armory (think Barn vintage only even more "vintage"). I hated it and the plush cushion theater seats. And, of course, now love it since it has now turned vintage itself just like me. Although I didn't get a nice...

And they have a great coach and all around good guy in Scott Drew. My Cyclone brethren love to hate on Baylor but even the haters in that group like Drew and think he is a really good coach.

Big 12 guy's hot take. She's an okay depth piece. As pointed out, not a great shooter. Was part of the Sundell/Glenn/Glenn guard trio until she sat out (recruited over?). Not as good as her sister and her sister was sort of average+.

Badgers end up dumpster diving into the recycle bin to get a coach. Wow. :ROFLMAO:

And that's why, as a Minneapolis Cyclone, I wanted Olivia Olson as either a Cyclone or a Gopher. Clutch at the end there after an off shooting day. Hobbs stepped up big to make up for the two star freshman having off-shooting games.

Iowa is favored by 3.5 points but the ESPN "analytics" have Gophers as 64% probability for a win.

I'm a double rival of Iowa** being a Twin Cities guy and an ISU alumni but I agree. That atmosphere was pretty awesome. That level of crowd won't be sustainable but something even around 8-9K is top ten and maybe top 5. I've heard some peeps diss it as a bandwagon ride but I disagree with...

Kinda enjoying Texas smoking Maryland by 30 in the first half. Never been a Maryland or Brenda fan (save her one year here), at all. Texas now up by 35 in the 3rd.

It will be hard to stay in the Top 25 but this shorthanded roster of gals 100% deserved the ranking for now. Maybe even gives them a boost of confidence going to this tough road game.

Not a B1G game but Minnesotans Jenna Johnson and Gianna Kneepkens lead Utah at Iowa State at 5:30 this afternoon on ESPN2. Duluth's Gianna Kneepkens certainly turned into a recruiting coup for the Utes. Was first team all-Pac-12 each year and will be first team All-Big 12 in her new league...

Interesting, wonder if at Mpls or K-State? And where are the leaked tidbits and impressions? When the men's NCAA teams scrimmage there are usually some leaks and impressions floating around.

Gotta love a subtle Sid Hartmann reference. ;)

And he's in a league where he's up against SC and LSU so he is definitely keeping up with the Jones. With Harmon back I have them pencilled in as a Final Four team this next season unless they have more injuries (had some bad luck with that the last couple of years).

And have a commits from Addie Deal and Journey Houston for 2025, ESPN #12 and ESPN #36. Couple of really good looking classes back-to-back.

Not really a portal but a HS decommit at this point falls into same recruiting season. Gophers offered this gal so I'd guess they would be in contact with her? Don't know when, might have been previous staff. She is ESPN's #67 for the 2024 class. Or she's just flipping to Virginia Tech with...

On the big stage last night it was interesting that she was dressed less flamboyantly and didn't freak out on the sidelines that I saw. Even gave a thoughtful and muted in-game interview and was pretty gracious post-game (not something I think she finds easy to do). Was almost like she was...

Thinking back to when Iowa signed Clark and she said her goal was to take Iowa to the Final Four. That's the sort of thing might expect a recruit to think but not say out loud if they were going to UConn, Stanford, SC or ND (where I thought she was going). Thought at the time that seemed...
