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...

Another feature from the Star Tribune, this time a video. Man, it is an excellent one to, better than anything you see produced by our local TV channels. This is national video level quality production...

Really good read. As a Twin Cities Cyclone alumni I remember that Jake Sullivan feature on his OCD. Most of us regular Cyclone fans had no idea what Sullivan was dealing with when he played at Iowa State until that Star Trib feature in 2019. It's so good to still have a real and independent...

That's great. An extra full semester to practice and get acclimated to college life with time demands of classes, practices and road game travel is quite a head start on next year.

She certainly fell a lot in offers after that April decommit. I assume her knee injury after she decommitted didn't help her at all. Last April I was wondering if the decommit was her choice or offer being withdrawn with the coaching change. Anyway, lower level start where she can maybe prove...

Collectively I think the West was 1-19 versus ranked teams for the season after Iowa and Wisconsin lost today. Gopher's own that only win.

Moniker name is sort of a giveaway. Cyclone alumni but Gophers are my #2 as I am a "naturalized" Minnesotan by now after decades here. More a Gopher fan for WBB and football, MBB not so much. #1 Iowa State Cyclones #2 The Gophers #3 University of Washington. Ex was a Husky so I still have an...

Should have invited them to the Liberty Bowl. Just sayin'. ;) Liberty at the Liberty Bowl with non-stop Liberty, Liberty commercials.

Watched most of the game and Husker's freshman Natalie Potts had a huge rebounding game with 13 boards, 7 being offensive. She also added 17 points for a big double-double. She was the difference maker in this game. Markowski had her own double-double at 20 and 10.

I generally ignore the DSM Register as it's fallen on hard times and is an embarrassing excuse for a newspaper but I have to admit that is a very good preview and review of the Gophers. Thanks for posting it.

As mentioned here the first game post-holiday is a bit of a wildcard after a long break between games. It's going to be a heck of a matchup though, #1 Big Ten defense versus #2 offense in a sold out arena on the Big Ten main channel. Not a big change in offense style for Iowa, they are less...

Guessing she might want to decide quickly and transfer at semester so she can play spring ball at new school? During her recruiting I thought her high rankings in the two sports made her an intriguing recruit. Wondering if in practice that trying to do both maybe wasn't the best for her...

Bit late in seeing this but guessing that ISU wants nothing to do with the rising Gophers right now. I do miss seeing my two favorite teams play. We played five straight years, 2005-2009 but not since than. Cyclones obviously recruit the midwest region but haven't had the same level of success...

Thought this might be of interest considering her recruit status and home town here in the Twin Cities. #9 recruit in Class of 2002 per ESPN. Seems she is leaving basketball to concentrate on studies to become a doctor and not transferring (or at least not transferring for basketball). Was...

Iowa is at UNI at 2:00 on ESPN3. UNI is picked to win the Minnesota Valley Conference so this is not a cupcake roadie for Iowa. Drake is picked as #2 in the Valley so the mid-majors in Iowa are a pretty tough out especially on their home courts.

That seems like sort of a weird hot take on the Hawks. Last years runner-up and pick to win the Big Ten (at worst contend for the title) and they are talking about resume building in non-conference? Elite teams like UConn need to resume build some during non-conference (they want a #1 seed)...

Don't think you need top 10 recruits to move to the upper tier in conference. That's what you need to be in the hunt for a Final Final. Granted the conference is strong but what you need is top 50 and top 100 players that develop to complete with the top tier teams in conference. Hawks do it...
