Dawson Garcia will return to Minnesota next season!!!

[LongLiveMilesTarver]

THANK YOU, DAWSON GARCIA!

 

[Block M]

Great news. If Garcia can shoot, shoot, shoot all summer and get his 3pt percentage to 38% with volume, it would make a world of difference for both him and the team next season.

 

[Dave H]

Probably true but we couldn't even get three years from Carrington.

Still a head scratcher. I hope he just wants to be able to play more so he is moving down a level because if he honestly thinks he is going to a P6 school and being anything but a bench player he will be sorely mistaken.

 

[Dave H]

You know it is ok to let at least one thread around here be positive right?

Misery loves company.

 

[GoodasGold]

Burns already lying that DTA was the reason it happened


If you’re choosing Minnesota, then money is automatically not the top factor for you. Just facts of life.


Glad that Dawson can look past the money in the short term to realize staying here was his best long term option!!

Quality of Life.

 

[Garyisawinner]

What a lousy comment

 

[DEGopherfan]

Sigh of relief! He’s our leader and will be even better next year. I’ll bet we’ll see some fine additions from the portal with him now onboard. Let’s hope his decision also helps Christie make the same.

 

[Dakota2]

That's a start.

Now let's have Christie, Hawk, and Fox follow suit.

How many times do we need Hawkins to announce he's coming back?

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

How many times do we need Hawkins to announce he's coming back?

I wouldn't mind it once a week.

 

[BleedGopher]

How many times do we need Hawkins to announce he's coming back?

A few more times. We like to feel good about ourselves in MN, we like to be liked.

Go Gophers!!

 

[gopherguy15]

Huge news. Happy to have you back Dawson! Now please convince your buddy Parker to follow suit…

 

[PMWinSTP]

That's a start.

Now let's have Christie, Hawk, and Fox follow suit.

Hopefully he is the tipping point for them to all return.

 

[Otis]

Hawk was the first to confirm his return.

Ummm did you not see the football team all announce they were coming back to D.T.A.
It's 100% because of d.t.a.

 

[Dakota2]

Let's show some respect for our floor leader. He said it; he said it early to help the team; and he meant it.

I wouldn't mind it once a week.

Every day is a choice...

 

[tikited]

I wouldn't mind it once a week.

Every night as I drift off to sleep.

Probably true but we couldn't even get three years from Carrington.

I don't know if most is the right word, but after he announced his transfer, many here didn't want three years from Carrington.

 

[Elevenseven]

Sounds like Carrington might be meeting with Johnson according to the other Ryan. NIL was not the main factor with Garcia, despite what someone is implying,

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

A win for DTA? Sounds more like a win for a player that maybe actually PRIORITIZED staying here?

 

[MaxyJR1]

What the advantage of saying a player left a bunch of $$ on the table?

 

[GopherMarroon]

Garcia is the indispensable man!

Great news!

 

[Bayfield Gopher]

IRC, Dawson came home to be with his family. Maybe that’s the main reason he will stay in M&G

 

[GopherMarroon]

What the advantage of saying a player left a bunch of $$ on the table?

He likes Minnesota, fans should know. He has value. Fans, give to DTA.

 

[Mulligan]

Liked Dawson before this, but he moved up on my Favorite Gophers List when I saw this quote:

"I take extreme pride and gratitude in wearing 'Minnesota' across my chest," Garcia said in a statement. "I couldn't pass up the opportunity to run it back one last time and represent this state. Let's make it a special year Gopher nation!"

 

[bga1]

What the advantage of saying a player left a bunch of $$ on the table?

I think this is Ben complimenting Garcia for putting team in front of money and that is good. I am thankful to Garcia for it.
But it is very stupid of Ben to put this statement out there.
"Don't come here unless you are willing to take short money" is the message this sends. This smacks of a coach and University in denial as to what is required in terms of NIL going forward.

 

[jovs]

What the advantage of saying a player left a bunch of $$ on the table?

That he has a commitment to Minnesota for one reason or another, more than the other local players can say, and yes it is important.

I wouldn't mind it once a week.

Every night as I drift off to sleep.

Are we still talking about Garcia or did this turn into a plea for help?

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

I don't know if most is the right word, but after he announced his transfer, many here didn't want three years from Carrington.

It was a tongue in cheek remark. Personally, I was somewhat pleased by the opportunity to recruit over him.

 

[Off-GridTNgopher]

Only took the 3 rd transfer with 0 options to get here... I personally don't believe it
