Muscala was admittedly a late bloomer, though, wasn't he? I mean, he was right next door in my neighboring school district, and did I even know he existed?

Big fish keep coming out!

Sorry for going so off topic here... I found Morris strange and backward. I grew up in Detroit Lakes, which was my understanding of small-town normal. DL is a little rowdy at times, but it's mostly a wholesome place to grow up and live, and it certainly has a personality and some spice. In...

As one of my national colleagues has put it, we can either drive the bus or get run over by the bus. One way or another, the bus is pulling away and going down the road.

I've been of a mind to cut Johnson some slack on this Groves matter, but you make a strong case that he should've been on him.

I was going to bring up the cow tipping, yes.

We made our own fun in Morris.

To this day, Clem claims that they were a Webber away from national title contention back then.

Very good school with excellent fine arts. I was there for pre-engineering. That was back in the day when only one university in the state had engineering programs. Do you know who DID play baseball there? Kerry Ligtenberg! He played with my now-brother in law. That's when my sister was there...

Wondering if programs will keep scholarships open in case they can snag these players or retain existing ones.

Clem blames it on Rick Bay. I heard there was an allegation of some improper aspect to his official visit. Bay instructed Clem to break off contact while it was looked into internally, and Webber slipped away as a result.

Well put.

There's a way to say this without calling people stupid.

The good news is that Niko can give him a convincing sales pitch about developing him to his potential. The bad news is that Wisconsin can, too.

I went my first two years to Minnesota-Morris. Same deal.

To the younger folk here, Monson took Rico Tucker instead of Woodside, which turned out to be a mistake. The phenomenon of Gopher coaches passing up local kids in favor of flashy players from elsewhere (e.g., Wright versus Washington) has bitten us over the years.

If that's a serious question, I'm ambivalent about it. More ignorant about it than I ought to be as a CBB fan, probably. To the extent it's part of the problem, it should be addressed, too.

Obviously, I want the Gophers to be successful, but more than that, I want college basketball to be healthy and sustainable. Few would argue that the cure (unlimited pay and unlimited freedom for players) has been worse than the disease (players as indentured servants with no cut of the big...

This reminds me of when we had Dana Jackson, and Michigan had Jimmy Jackson, and Ray kept calling them both just "Jackson," and I had no idea who had the ball at any one moment.
