Go Gophers!!
Agreed. Offensively he intrigues me. What he does defensively is maybe more important this year. Not sure if he is a rim protector or anything.Personally can't wait to see what Thompson can do. An all level scorer at the Center position could be very fun to watch!
So obviously he is not Daniel Oturu. But I remember the 2018 preseason when our only bigs were freshman Oturu, lightly used transfer Matz Stockman, and an injured Eric Curry. Oturu came in and totally exceeded my expectations of what a freshman could to the in the physical B10. If Thompson can even provide 10 minutes per game of serviceable minutes that would be a win IMO.Personally can't wait to see what Thompson can do.

10 productive minutes would be very welcome. However, right now looking at the roster only two other guys, both of whom likely don't want to play the position, can provide minutes at the 5. Ihnen and Battle are the only other possible options to play the other 30 minutes.So obviously he is not Daniel Oturu.

I'm sure we'll add one or two somebody's.
Much better than gritty! I'm not underrating the team this year. I see a real harassing defense with a bunch of nasty smalls pressing hard with a lot of turnover points. Guess I'll have to wait and see.Is nasty like gritty?
Yes sir, 6'9" Charlie Daniels. I did forget him and so have the roster people on GopherSports.You're forgetting about Daniels.
Not saying he's any good, who knows, but he was brought in to provide depth at the 5.
Gritty+Is nasty like gritty?
I think its the poor hygienic version of grittyIs nasty like gritty?
