Great news. Hope he can get up to speed quickly because competent center play is all this team needs to theoretically be very good.
Just the first of a whole string of great news for Pitino and Gopher basketball to come this season! Culminated by miracle season continues as Gophers enter Sweet 16!
Now all we need is a ticker tape parade down University Ave with a 1920's newsman anchoring the festivities
Sid?
I don't think that this is something to "celebrate". Reggie is a very lucky man who seems like he made a very big mistake and only had it partially blow up in his face.
I hope that he shows his University community and the Gopher fanbase a ton of growth and maturity, both on and off the court, over the rest of his collegiate career.

I get what you're saying about celebrating, and that feels a little wrong. But it sounds like you know something about what happened that night that the rest of us don't. Do tell.
I do not. My post (why I used the term "seems like") is based on what it took just to reach this conclusion- it took a ton of time and resources, was not beneficial to any party involved, certainly including Reggie, the University of Minnesota, or any potential victim of the alleged incident; there must be a lot of grey area and in my view that means that he made some very poor decisions that night one way or the other.
There have been a few replies since my initial post. To sum up my likely unpopular thoughts on the matter- just because there weren't charges brought by the police doesn't mean that wrongdoing didn't occur and it is important to remember that as Reggie dodged hopefully his last bullet and can move on.
How long before Reusse rips the Gophers for reinstating him? That's got to be coming soon here right?
Citywok - It is also equally true that just because there was an arrest or a criminal/University investigation doesn't mean there was wrongdoing of any kind going on.
Point being, absent some sort of report, account, or explanation of what may or may not have happened, we are all speculating about whether wrongdoing occurred or whether an innocent person was wrongly accused of something.
