We will go to a couple games this year. However, with the price of Big 10+ being twice as much as ESPN+ per month, and 1/10 of the programming, especially basketball, I guess we’ll just be watching other conferences again this year.

This will be the first year of not traveling to watch either of my children playing. It might be fun to drive down to Drake to watch Iowa, if it doesn’t conflict with the Gophers schedule.

I’m looking forward to seeing how much this experience on the 3x3 circuit translates into increased confidence and leadership on the NCAA floor. Especially against more experienced, higher ranked programs.

Even though the Big 12 has lost teams to the SEC, they are picking up new teams from the dissolution of the PAC. I foresee more shuffling between the the 4 remaining P5 conferences, as well as Mountain West, Big East, and a few others.

This is awesome news for Rachel! It’s nice that she’s making plans for after she’s done playing with the Lynx, especially now that she’s getting married soon.

I never understood the transfer of Öberg. I watched both her and Hart when they were in AAU and high school, and I would definitely rank Hart well above Oberg as far as skills. I was not impressed by Oberg’s mobility, or rather the lack thereof, for her position. Given that they just finished...

One possibility for a back up center would be Ila Lane, 6’4, from UCSB. Local connection is that the UCSB coach is from Willmar Minnesota.

That’s a bummer. I would’ve loved to watch what Franie Hottinger could’ve done in a gophers uniform! And Wilke as well.

I’m sorry, but knee injuries are not caused by blind spots on the floor. They are caused by genetics (especially in girls), landing wrong, twisting unexpectedly, or a combination of those factors….

I would guess that Hailey Van Lith would be heading to Washington. As they are an Adidas program, and she is already sponsored by Adidas, that would be a good fit. (Although, she’s a big enough name that she could change sponsorships pretty easily.) Especially since she’s from there, and just...

I did see something on another site that suggested that Wilke is coming to Minnesota from Wisconsin.

https://goyotes.com/watch/?Archive=4198&type=Archive I came across this press conference from last year, when Coach P had the Coyotes in the Sweet 16. It’s an example of how classy she is as a coach. When you watch her press conference, watch how she is very complimentary of the opposing team...

When she was at South Dakota, she would tweet out “It’s a Great Day to be a Yote”.

I am excited to watch this team next year, with the talent that was recruited by Whalen and will be coached by Plitzuweit. Hopefully we get some good posts from the portal, as well.

I just saw the same message from another coach as well. Players, you never know who is watching you.

Micheaux is built like and plays like a PF, not a Center. The Gophers need to hit the transfer portal, and perhaps pick up Frannie Hottinger, or someone else that gives us some height as well as physicality down low. Hottinger would also bring a real inside presence for rebounding, as well as...

This is false. While a basketball scholarship can be pulled, usually it is for discipline reasons or academic reasons. It is extremely rare for a new coach to come in and cut players. Even moreso with the advent of the transfer portal and the relaxed rules. Especially the one free transfer...

The athletes have to be considered. We sent our daughter 2000 miles away to play college basketball, to a program that we really liked and where she was made to feel comfortable, They happened to have a male coach at that school. She did bond better with the female assistants, but that was more...

I know several former players, as well as quite a few parents. Many of them played in the era where you would’ve had to sit a year if you transferred, so most stuck it out, but might not make that decision now. He has no class.
