    Schools that Hawkins have heard from…

    He wasn't, which is why he was in the NCAA tournament again this season. No PG is going to look good when Samuels, Carrington, and Henley are your other 'guards' on the team.

    Caleb Williams in the portal.

    Ben's not going to fill the roster with 13 B1G players regardless. I'd rather take Williams to sit on the bench for a year over another unknown HS or foreign player.

    Caleb Williams in the portal.

    If Abdoulaye Thiam, Danny Ogele, Charlie Daniels, Kris Keinys, Taurus Samuels, Jack Wilson, and some of the walk on's were worth scholarships over the last 3 years, then this kid is.

    Schools that Hawkins have heard from…

    Ben's PG recruiting has been fine, Cooper was good too. He just had zero guard help around him.

    Andrew Trout, 2026, 6'6" offensive tackle commits to Gophers!

    Mom's almost as tall as dad. It's all about that mom height.

    BREAKING: Elijah Hawkins to transfer

    This is mostly nonsense. Are there players that care about money above all else? Yes, but they are still in the minority. If a player is getting several similar offers it will come down to the relationship with the coach, chance to play/compete, school, etc. A more expensive car is not...

    Gopher Basketball Portal Money - $1 Million

    The Gophers already have a NIL base and they don't need to hire a big name coach. Next year the Gophers can definitely hire a coach with head coaching experience who has had a lot of success at a lower level, like they did with PJ in football. This is still an attractive job and a huge step...

    All Things 2023-2024 Minnesota Timberwolves In-Season Thread

    For as good as Jaden was last night, Conley was huge in the 2nd quarter keeping them in it when the rest of the team was struggling to score.

    BREAKING: Elijah Hawkins to transfer

    PJ's pulling players that will be backups out of the SEC but BJ can't even recruit a starting B1G roster. Yeah it's totally not BJ's fault....

    Which QB do the Vikes draft?

    I'm not sure how this relates to the Vikings, who already have a great supporting cast on offense and would likely use their top picks on D if they don't go QB.

    What good is the NCAA?

    Then we're not really disagreeing on much. I don't have empathy for being the worst basketball program in the B1G right now. I also understand that Minnesota isn't likely to contend for B1G titles regularly, or especially national titles. That's ok with me. But Minnesota has the resources to...

    What good is the NCAA?

    Yes it is the point. The University of Minnesota is a business. So are college sports attached to the University. Whether you choose to support that business is up to you, just like any other business. If you don't like the product, or want to support the product, it's on the business to create...

    What good is the NCAA?

    Like most, I'm frustrated with what college sports has become. Change is always hard. But the courts ruled that college athletes should be treated like any other college student or any other working adult. Why is that such a bad thing?

    BREAKING: Elijah Hawkins to transfer

    Alright this is my last response to you because if you're going to continue to post everyday that Coyle is a bigger problem than Ben, then you are clueless. Plus you just continue to make up nonsense to try and support your terrible opinion. If other sports at the U were having this problem...

    BREAKING: Elijah Hawkins to transfer

    NIL hasn't hit the football team hard at all. Football just pulled two transfers from helmet schools this week. This is why blaming Coyle for the basketball woes is completely stupid and inaccurate.

    BREAKING: Elijah Hawkins to transfer

    Pitino went to the NCAA tournament 2 of the first 3 years Coyle was here. If Coyle is to blame now, shouldn't he get credit for that? Coyle isn't in over his head, he's been one of the best AD's the Gophers have had in a long time. He's also pretty highly regarded around the country. BJ also...

    BREAKING: Elijah Hawkins to transfer

    Maybe Coyle actually really loves it here and didn't want to quit, which is why he came here so quickly after taking the Syracuse job. Maybe he likes where a lot of the other programs are too. Maybe he also knew that president wasn't going to stick around long. If people quit every time their...

    BREAKING: Elijah Hawkins to transfer

    Pitino was here long before Coyle was hired. Maybe next year Coyle will actually be able to interview who he wants to interview and not have his candidate pool limited by the new president like it was by the last one.
