Nice to hear! Former Gopher Tommy Davis returns to U to get degree

[BleedGopher]

Davis is a guy who I think is underrated when pundits put their lists of former greats. He had a very nice career.

Per Shama:

Jim Dutcher said former Gophers basketball player Tommy Davis needs 19 credits to graduate from Minnesota and is enrolled in summer school. Davis, who played for Dutcher from 1981-1985, is utilizing a program by the Gophers Athletic Department that pays tuition for former athletes who want to complete their school work and earn degrees.

Davis, a shooting guard, still holds the Gophers’ record for consecutive field goals made in one game with 15. He played and coached in France for many years but now is living here. The former All-Big Ten player speaks six languages including French, Dutcher said.

Both Davis and Darryl Mitchell, another former Gophers All-Big Ten guard, have recently relocated to the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. Dutcher now has 10 former players from his 1982 Big Ten championship living in this community. “We could have a reunion of the ’82 championship team and make all local (phone) calls,” Dutcher said.

I was at the final game versus Ohio State when we won the Big Ten Title. The Barn was rocking. And Breur had a decent game too.

Holy Moly. Mitchell is a Florida guy. What's he doing living here?

Maybe it ain't that cold?

Agree on Davis.

Go Gophers!* Minnesota's Official Basketball Team.

Absolutely. His backcourt buddy Marc Wilson was a personal favorite at the time.

I'd like to see data on guys returning to get their college degrees with the changes in APR penalties. Would suspect you'd see a lot of what we're seeing at the U throughout the country.

Perhaps my favorite Gopher ever; at least right up there toward the top.
