For what it's worth, Coach Jirsa was in Oklahoma a couple of weeks ago watching Phillipe Martin, 6'4" juco swingman from NYC. Very athletic, super offense, good kid, decent grades...and a lot to learn on defense.

I don't know about the player... but

I would just like it to be known that the "Golden Norsemen" is my favorite nickname of all-time.

I would just like it to be known that the "Golden Norsemen" is my favorite nickname of all-time.

Mine is either "Rusty Slowfoot" or Tommy "The Bottle" Kramer.

Not that it has anything to do with the Gophers, but...

If you want to catch a couple of great high school games, there are a couple of good Florida battles today/tonight:

Today 4pm CT on ESPNU:
Montverde vs. Sagemont - Montverde is led by Marquette-bound Jamail Jones and Villanova signee James Bell.. they beat Cory Joseph and Findlay Academy this past week... Sagemont has yet another 2010 Big East arrival in 7 footer Fab Melo.

Then at 6pm CT on ESPN2...
Winter Park (2011 Austin Rivers, back from an ankle sprain) goes up against Pine Crest (Brandon Knight, many people's #1 of 2010... who is without a future home as of now... Kentucky, FLA, UCONN, Syracause all possibilities... Knight was the Gatorade Nat'l Player of the Year last year as a junior.. two others can say the same thing... LeBron and Oden).
