Just up in the Strib: Johnson said Monday that as of now he potentially could have four starters back with leading scorer and All-Big Ten forward Dawson Garcia, Elijah Hawkins, Mike Mitchell Jr., and Cam Christie. The only starter currently lost is Pharrel Payne, among five Gophers who entered...

Great article in the Strib about Perich. Probably behind a paywall, but this was a fun part of it: "If there was any doubt about those credentials for a kid from a northern Minnesota town with a population of 2,200, Perich erased them emphatically by earning MVP honors earlier this month at the...

From the Strib: The Gophers men's basketball team doesn't officially open practice for this season until the end of the month, but forward Isaiah Ihnen will have no limitations once it starts. Ihnen, a 6-10 redshirt junior, was fully cleared for contact recently after missing the last two...

From the Strib: Isaac Asuma's days of playing AAU basketball are over, but the star from Cherry, Minn., finished this chapter of his career leaving no doubt he could make an impact with the Gophers a year from now. Coach Ben Johnson's top recruit in the 2024 class saved his best for the end of...

From the Strib: What a class act, and I hope this will lead to great opportunities for him. What might have been. Eric Curry was the heart and soul of Gophers basketball during his six seasons with the program, so it was almost like he never left Minnesota when he came back to town this week...

Very much Coyle's "AD Speak" but says enough that SON's (I think) prediction of the U hosting bake sales to fund NIL has some truth in it. Coyle also chose his words carefully, saying the U of M will continue to make "value-based decisions" and educate athletes about NIL amid a "clunky" early...

Part of a powerful Scoggins story: "Morgan will be in Indianapolis on Thursday representing the Gophers at Big Ten media days, an annual kickoff to the college football season. He goes there after losing his father last week. Ted was first diagnosed with a brain tumor in spring 2020 and had...

GERRY BROOME, ASSOCIATED PRESS North Carolina’s Sterling Manley reacts following his basket and a foul against North Carolina State Sterling Manley felt like a kid again last weekend in Tampa. The 7-foot, 250-pound former North Carolina center was a big kid on the court at the Tampa Bay Pro...

From the Trib: "He's really coming at me hard," Carrington said about Johnson. "He's really been trying to get to know me and my mom. He calls me and texts me at least four times a week. He's really engaged. It's nice because it's the hometown. It's nice to know they really want me." RENÉE...

Why I think he's the best local writer around: AARON LAVINSKY – STAR TRIBUNE Gophers coach PJ Fleck celebrated with players during a team photo following their Outback Bowl victory against Auburn, part of a historic season. CHIP SCOGGINS@CHIPSCOGGINS Let us start here at the beginning with...

Nice article: sounds like he was pretty close to turning pro. http://www.startribune.com/gophers-receiver-tyler-johnson-glad-to-be-back/508038562/

Actually, sort of a fascinating case. As an old guy, my first inclination was to shake my head but upon reading the whole argument by the parents ... ? http://www.startribune.com/minnesota-high-school-football-player-goes-to-court-to-fight-suspension-after-targeting-penalty/499134631/

Don't think has been linked. Good read. He is different, but we already knew that. Carter certainly believes. https://theathletic.com/330422/2018/04/30/p-j-fleck-minnesota-football-coach-golden-gophers/

This story brought back many memories, not only about the UCLA game, but it also captures the passion many of us feel about our Gophers. Warning to dpo--lots of romanticizing. https://www.minnpost.com/community-voices/2017/03/and-now-it-can-be-told-how-two-fans-helped-inspire-gophers-beat-ucla-97

I sure don't know how to set a poll up but will Rutgers students rush the floor if they get there first BIG victory against the Gophers? Morris dismissed, 3 knuckleheads suspended, and now Joey out with injury. Do they have any pride?

Good thread on Buggs, now what are the early impressions of Bakery? Great opportunity to get minutes last night and I kept my eyes on him a lot. Obvious potential, but I was surprised at how many times the ball was right there for him, and he failed to secure it. Positioning, anticipation...

Last night's game got me thinking about how you just never know. -Liked the Pitino hire but thought we'd be at a disadvantage when the young coach went up against the likes of Matta, Bo, Crean, etc. They would know how to prepare for us while Pitino was still learning on the job. Great seeing...

Not sure of how he's done but FSN just switched to Stanford playing Cal. About 9 minutes left.
