Losing the Dakota kid to Iowa.

[Boomtime]

Ouch

Maybe he’s an average Big Ten player at best? Iowa can use some help. Sure he’ll shore up that great defense they got going there. Hopefully we get the AM guys.

I think he fits their system better. Not gonna be a whole lot of defense as part of the philosophy there. Tough L, woulda been nice to have but not a huge deal.

If we get both of those A & M boys it was definitely a successful offseason.

Ouch indeed and to Iowa of all places ~ Gophers will find the right players for Minnesota hoops ~ we must remain positive.

That's alright, they're losing Garza, Frederick, Nunge, and possibly Bohannon and Weiskamp. I'm not too scared of Fran's defense, yes it would have been nice to land Rabraca, but onto the next one

 

[goldenboy]

If he really doesn’t want to play center, Iowa’s roster isn’t any better than ours as a landing spit.

Garza’s success gave them a strong selling point, this doesn’t surprise me at all.

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

Rebraca? Damn I really liked him.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

White kid wasn’t t gonna choose the u.

 

[Bad Gopher]

Lotta ifs and hopes in this thread, too.

Rebraca is no Garza. I hope Iowa is counting on Filip filing that role because that would be a huge loss for them.

 

[Goldboy]

Rebraca is no Garza. I hope Iowa is counting on Filip filing that role because that would be a huge loss for them.

I doubt they are telling him he is the next Garza just showing him how much Garza developed.

 

[MNGopher23]

Hearing it was down to Minnesota and Iowa. Oh well, on to the next.

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

I doubt they are telling him he is the next Garza just showing him how much Garza developed.

And like I said before, Filip is no Garza. If they're selling him based on Garza's development then they're really pulling the wool over his eyes.

Was planning on posting a Q&A that I did with Rebraca Saturday afternoon. He told me that Minnesota was among his top schools. He said that he wanted to play the four spot and play in the NCAA Tournament. Not sure, if there is enough minutes at the four and the lack of a center might have forced him to play more as a five. With all the newcomers on the Gopher roster, they are likely a year away from NCAA Tournament

 

[PeterMac05]

If he didn’t want to play the 5 than whatever I guess. We are already in pretty good shape at the 4
