B.J. Omot will miss summer workouts with a leg injury.

Go Gophers!!

Going back the last dozen years, I can't imagine an NCAA bb team has had more injury issues than the gophs.
However Twins are a whole other level in that area.

Maybe something is in the water. WTF

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Being a lifelong Minnesota sports fan, I assume the worst. I remember Parker Fox when he transferred in and the word was he had a minor knee injury......UGH.

Not ideal but hopefully he is in fact cleared for the start of the season.

 

[FinnGopher]

Is this a continuation from the injury he had at Cal?

 

[Holy Man]

Didn’t he miss most of last season with injury? Is this a new injury or a not completely healed one?

 

[SplitDecision]

At Cal it was a hand injury. Greenstick tibia fracture not a huge deal but FFS.

Gopher Luck was bound to kick in at some point.

Next man up

 

[Holy Man]

Next man up

Who is that?

 

[pharmacygopher]

Who is that?

TBD, obviously.

But on paper it seems like Niko has put together a lineup that has depth for someone to step up.

 

[GopherBlood777]

Who is that?

Whoever it needs to be

Whoever it needs to be

Coach will take a chance with Stephens

I figured he would be closer to the “big” category than most of the others and that’s the thinnest part of the roster depth wise.

I almost took the bait.

BJ is a three man. He's 185/190 pounds meaning he will be at the three with Bobby Durkin or Cade Tyson at the four when the Gophers go smaller and use the wing forwards together. Four rebounds a game from your three man is decent, but at 6'8 you would like to see it a bit higher.
