    2024 Offensive Line

    I believe if Carroll does not move inside to guard the offensive line will not be better than it was this year. We need a more athletic RT.

    Minnesota Golden Gophers in the NFL - 2023 Season

    The Vikings should have drafted Winfield. One of many reasons why they all got fired!

    "It definitely is surprising," Jackson McAndrew on not receiving Gophers' offer

    He's shown no interest in going to Minnesota, so why spend valuable time going down a dead end road. He'll be at Creighton...

    2023 College Basketball Transfer Portal Watch Thread

    Read what I said. I said crime is a major concern, not the main reason. Businesses are not renting space downtown as they once were. That causes financial problems. That was also occurring before our reaction to Covid. Crime is an issue that needs to be resolved no matter why it is occurring. I...

    2023 College Basketball Transfer Portal Watch Thread

    Unfortunately, the other cities have gotten worse even faster. It's a matter of context. Considering the number of large office buildings in downtown Mpls going into foreclosure, crime is a major concern.

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    Hopefully, this staff can recruit, develop and teach the game. So far, I'm not convinced of the later two.

    Chip: Mark Coyle, having gambled twice on Gophers basketball coaching hires, gets another shot

    As nice as they might be, national champion dance titles need to be the icing on the cake, not the cake itself.

    Police say Alabama star Brandon Miller delivered gun to former teammate Darius Miles before shooting; Oats said Miller 'wrong spot at the wrong time'

    No wonder so many of these athletes think they can do anything they want. No consequences for their behavior!

    Gopher Volleyball 2022 Season

    To some degree, the coaches need to ignore the ratings as well. They need to evaluate recruits and select the players they believe will give the team the best chance to win. Unfortunately, Hugh and the others coaches did not do that consistently enough to win a NCAA championship.

    Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, another very highly rated recruit that did not perform up to their ranking...

    Gopher Volleyball 2022 Season

    Every team has positive and negative things happen to them on a year to year basis and over time. In your example, only counting the negative against Minnesota and the positive for Wisconsin is still just making excuses. As I said before, every team has the same opportunity to succeed or fail if...

    Gopher Volleyball 2022 Season

    Yes, I do expect us to win more. You may not win all of the time with that attitude, but, you surely won't win more without it. Also, to address your scholarship point, what about the years we have more scholarships than the other schools we're competing again? That's an advantage for us. Again...

    Recruiting/scholarship rules apply equally to every team. Like I said before, recruit better, win more.

    Gopher Volleyball 2022 Season

    I agree with you on Hilley. I'm also referring to who you recruit and when. That is part of a recruiting strategy. If you look at the 2017 and 2018 recruiting classes, there were many recruiting misses. I show this list with no intention of disparaging any one of them. 2017: Sara Nielsen, Sydney...

    Gopher Volleyball 2022 Season

    The advantage he had was Minnesota VB was the equivalent of a Notre Dame, Georgia, Oklahoma, etc. in football. Where Wisconsin was equivalent to a Missouri, UCLA or Oklahoma State, maybe. That means he should get better recruits. Also, the state of Minnesota has produced many more high level...
