He gave the team a big, physical body to practice against & gave us a few good minutes off the bench. That out-performed my expectations for the 10th man in the rotation.

There's no money for another big whether Nikko wants one or not. Eric Reader is 6'9". He's probably our 3rd big.

That's a nice list. How many of them play significant minutes? Jack Wilson was 6'11" 285lb, but wasn't of much use.

Big Frank was hurt much of the season, and didn't seem to work real hard on defense much of the time when he was healthy. That led to him being in poor defensive position. Being short, not a great leaper & consistently getting bad defensive position in the post is a bad combination. Will...

Everyone would like to have an athletic, skilled 7' big who can run the floor, but they're unicorns & they're not cheap. Same way every team in football wants an athletic, 320lb nose tackle who can take on double teams & penetrate. There's like 20 of them in all of football, and the Gophers are...

I don't blame you for being a downer, the skepticism is well deserved. That said, CBJ was hired on potential, then the entire landscape changed with NIL & CBJ was in over his head. Tubby was a big name, but had lost his fire & his best coaching years were behind him. Nikko has a system, a...

I think the success of Koi Perich really helps. It shows: 1. A high profile recruit can thrive here at the U, and doesn't need to leave for a bigger stage. 2. The Gopher staff is serious about getting that player on the field early, and utilizing him in exciting ways

The staff has been selling Voss on the idea of using him as a dynamic, play making TE. They see Voss lining up all over the field like Penn St used Tyler Warren.

Touche'. I stand corrected. He did get a Monroe offer. The point remains. He was not highly recruited, and really had no shot of ever getting an LSU offer regardless of who else they recruited.

Not to be a downer, but for perspective Ford also didn't get offers from La Monroe or La Lafayette & they are not bringing in the #1 & #5 running backs.

I'm very happy with this addition, especially late in the game. He doesn't have top end speed & played at low level of competition in HS. I still think he could be a good player for us, like Mo was. He may not have homerun speed so to speak, but you can have a great career hitting lot's of...

I think he was hoping to get some coverage snaps at nickel, that Jai'ointe McMillan is getting instead. You'd think it would have been the smart move to ask for a red shirt, and stay here with Henderson & McMillan both graduating after the season. In theory, he would have been in a good spot...

I'd never been to see stand-up until about 18 mos ago, and absolutely love it. In that time my girlfriend and I have seen: -Samuel Comroe at Laugh Camp in St Paul. He was so good, we went to see him again in Des Moines. Highly recommend. - We built a weekend vacation to Phoenix last February...

The Kinks didn't make it?

LOVE IT!!!!

First time I'd been there. As a guy who pretty much grew up in that theater, I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Thought nostalgia might ruin it for me, but it was great. Sort of that Huntington Bank Stadium "there are no bad seats in the house" feeling. I could have been anywhere in...

Black stocking cap/white t-shirt kid. The kid was an absolute savage! You would have thought he was whacked out on crank at a Slayer concert in 92'. Just a big, wild, inappropriately thrashing, dummy. People around me in our my section couldn't stop watching him. The group was amazing, and Kim...

Costa Rica & the Dominican Republic are both great choices. Sun Country flies to both Guanacaste (Costa Rica) & Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) affordably Oct-Apr. Two very different experiences culturally as CR is Central American & the DR is Carribbean. Either way you go, I suggest getting...

Not a huge fan. If you just want a nice beach you can find one a lot closer, for a lot less money. My .02

Don't you have to work Edmonds into the rotation too? He's not just a big body, the guy can play.
