2025-26 Gopher Mens Basketball Roster

And now in the Rand podcast that Bleed posted...Niko said we have another guy coming....we just can't announce him yet. So wherever the post is that said we had a guy coming...Niko confirmed it....we just don't know who.

What would be the reason where a guy commits but you can’t announce it yet? Not in the portal? Waiting to see if he gets eligibility granted?

 

[Roland Brooks]

Could be waiting for the player to announce it first..

In the interview he said a couple different times that pretty much all players have agents now.
My complete guess is it has something to do with the agents wishes.

Just a guess but it could be a foreign player waiting for a student visa, government clearance, UM to accept his transcript, etc.

Sooo...bigger question...is this the player (Chance Stephens) to be named or is he somebody different who just snuck in between the announcemrnt of the anticipated mystery arrival??

I'm assuming the mystery recruit is someone else.

I'm assuming the mystery recruit is someone else.

My guess too but in my case...that's it: totally a guess.

No offense to the latest signee, but he doesn't really rise to the "drop a hint on a podcast about a mystery recruit" level.

GI is saying Niko has two newbies coming.

Is Tomes one of the 2?

 

[Bayfield Gopher]

Is Tomes one of the 2?

I have no idea.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Is Tomes one of the 2?

Tomes is a class of 2026 recruit so I would say probably not.

If I'm counting correctly, we should be at 11 scholarship players for next year now so I'd guess there will be at least one more. Maybe the remaining scholarships will go to local walk-on types. Hell, Wisconsin had a walk-on from White Bear Lake (Jack Janicki) who played 421 minutes this past season.

Is Wisconsin going to raffle off their last two spots in a special drawing in Lakeville?

Maybe they'll just put billboards up again by Target Center for Timberwolves playoff games.

Could be the same reason that I wouldn't tell anyone in high school the name of my Canadian model girlfriend?

You are safe ...that site has been offline for several years now.
