    Newsflash: Fran McCaffery (and his wife) are terrible people

    My in-laws are big Iowa State fans. My brother-in-law is a HS coach in Iowa, but went to a Fran practice and said that afterwards Fran came up to him and his friend and spent about 30 minutes warmly talking with them (no player was potentially being recruited). It was his one interaction with...

    2026 Second Round Playoff Thread: Minnesota vs San Antonio

    Harper's mouth was like that before the elbow was thrown, probably at how the aggressive the D was without a foul being called. That clip was deceptively edited.

    Current Roster, Positions, Depth

    What I like about the Palmer addition, is that, at least to begin the season, there are more experienced players for a rotation. As you point out, the starting lineup and rotation will likely vary as the young guys gain experience and all the new comers learn Niko's system. We saw a lot of...

    RandBall: As transfer portals close, Gophers basketball is thriving

    I feel this. I am generally optimistic. I like the general direction of the retained players, the high school recruits, and the portal additions. But as I pointed out in a previous post about college experience: we currently are very thin, beyond the top 4 players (3 returners, 1 familiar...

    Yes! Don't give them life. End the series early and give Ant time to rest up.

    2026 First Round Playoffs Thread: Minnesota vs Denver

    They've hounded Murray and Jokic well with great D. Rudy and McDaniels have been outstanding. But I have to believe that Jokic's injuries from earlier in the year are still nagging him. He is not the MVP Jokic from past years. He's looked cooked.

    Gopher-centric Portal Short List

    Taking the long view: considering where the program is and where we’d like to go, I like the type of players that they’ve signed via the portal. As people are throwing out prospective lineups, I’ve thought about what we have currently is veerrry thin on experience. Career minutes starting...

    Malick Kordel Commits

    I think what you've hit on is that the guys in that spot (other than JCJ) are going to be there to pass, screen, foul, and provide minutes. Anything other than that is a bonus.

    Gopher-centric Portal Short List

    I've been wondering about that the last few days as people discuss our bad luck with injuries this past year and debate whether we should roll with some talented guys who have had some injury history (Grady being one). In professional leagues a physical is part of the free agency and trade...

    Nolan Groves Commits to the Gophers!

    Grant McCasland is a good coach, so regardless of how Groves minutes went, hopefully it was a good learning year. That video should make us all drool.

    Gopher-centric Portal Short List

    Someone on the WBB board pointed out that it may be an indication to send inquiries through their agent and not to the athlete directly. So things may be changing from "I know where I want to go" to "talk to my representation."

    All Things 2025-26 College Basketball Coaches Fired/Hired/Retired Thread

    I remember similar things too. But what I will say in his defense, is at least in college they play a lot fewer games than the NBA's regular season and playoffs. Maybe his voice will be fresh for the entirety of a college season. Or maybe UNC will tire of him when they struggle to make the...

    All Things 2026 Transfer Portal Thread

    Would Nolan Winter want end his career where his parents played? Would you all take him? He would be a perfect big man in Niko's system. (edited to reflect the correct generation of Winter; don't want the old man playing)
