Not that we needed another piece of evidence, but the Gopher Athletics website has her listed as a redshirt junior, so it's official.

There hasn't been much of a need to make a big splash with recruitment yet. We've still got the 2 seniors and 2 juniors who were part of the best recruiting class the Gophers ever had. And it's definitely not a given that those 4 would have stuck around through the coaching change and rebuilding...

Also, for what it's worth, the Instagram follows they were talking about on the UConn forum may just be coincidental. It looks like she follows a bunch of players from a bunch of different teams, including Janay Sanders as an example.

Yeah, according to Skim Milkey, the Gophers are going after Phelia very hard (or at least were as of last week). I've always been skeptical that we could get someone of that caliber in the portal just for money reasons and lack of minutes available. But I'd be pleasantly surprised if they were...

Yeah, this move makes me think that the coaches are confident in how good Zoey Bershers will be if they wanted to give her this "extra value."

I'm wondering if the intent is to have a combination of Zoey, Tracey, and Niamya be Sophie's backup. Zoey could end up being great if the goal is to grow our own post player rather than relying on the portal every year or two.

Exciting! Looks like she'll bring a good deal to the team based on her stats from prior seasons. Out of curiosity, is she the one you were hearing rumors about, or was that someone different? Looks like she's only 5-11 and hasn't taken a ton of threes, so just wondering if there's someone else...

Daley would be a good get for a backup guard! She was averaging 11 points per game and shooting just under 50%, but isn't much of a 3 point shooter. Now whether she's willing to play off the bench and get relatively fewer minutes at Minnesota than she might at other places is a whole other...

The 2022 recruiting class was the highest the Gophers have ever had, but due to injuries and less than ideal coaching in their first year, they haven't reached their full potential. Then beyond those four, we've also added immensely talented players like McKinney and Grocholski and have...

Don't need to do much in the portal when you've already got a team with a lot of talent that wants to stick together! Also, last year she had picked up Stewart, who ended up being a high impact player on offense, and Rose, who ended up being a very high impact player on defense. I'm sure she...

The Gophers without Braun and Woodson were able to give Maryland, Ohio State, and USC all a run for their money in the final quarters of each game. But they just weren't able to finish the job in any of them. With Braun and Woodson back, I'm optimistic they will get some victories over top teams...

Agreed! Illinois is the perfect blueprint. They won the WBIT last year and then were a strong contender throughout Big Ten play, finishing 6th this season. The Gophers have the potential to keep building something great!

I wonder if this is one of the ways they plan to get more money to pay players directly, now that they'll be able to do that very soon.

Also of note with Belmont is that Taylor Woodson's younger sister Tatum will be joining their team in the fall once she graduates from high school.

Yeah, Holloway could be a powerhouse on a mid major team and get a lot more playing time. Same with Johnson. Holloway has really started to do some cool things on offense in the WBIT which is what leads me to think she might look somewhere else to capitalize. I like them both and would be glad...

Oh I wholeheartedly agree about them making the WBIT semifinals being exciting. I probably should have prefaced to say I don't actually want anyone to transfer and would be sad if they did because I think this team could've been a contender to make it to the Sweet Sixteen as they are and with...

That's a big "if". I'm worried that some players might get a little restless given it's year 2 of rebuilding and they probably weren't as successful this year as they'd have hoped. Maybe the deep run in the WBIT (and potentially a WBIT championship?) can get them all to buy in again. I sure hope...

Maybe Maryland for one of them. Brenda Frese doesn't seem to mind taking talented players with negative reputations. And I've noticed it actually tends to work out for her when she does it.

Also, no one is perfect and we don't need to nitpick someone who had an obviously stellar performance overall.

Yeah, there's just so much strategy in this game that we can't see, especially defensive strategy. We have absolutely no idea what the coach's exact game plans are and how they're communicating it to the players.
