RIP Yevette Haskins

[GopherLady]

I never had the pleasure of meeting this woman, but I've heard such incredible things about her...how supportive she was to Clem, what a loving mother she was to her children, and how she treated the players like her own.

Deepest condolences go out to the Haskins family. Clem has lost his son and wife in such a short time, and my heart hurts for him and his loved ones.

Nadine, the Pat stuff is probably enough, no need to include the AI overview. RIP to a woman who helped the Gophers to some of their greatest years.

I'm sure she really appreciates your valuable input.

I met her twice, once overseas where an impressionable 14 yo Pewterschmidt and his Gopher friend got to hang with the '93-'94 Gopher team for an hour after a exhibition game. Got to sit next to her during it. She was so welcoming and took the pics of us with the team, etc.

RIP Yvette. She couldn't have been nicer to me She always will have a special place in my heart. I'm sad and I feel for Clem.

Met her at a Clem Basketball camp back in the late 80s. Was super nice and kind. RIP

Like @gopherbadgerman, I met her at Clem’s camps, she basically ran those camps. After 2 years of going there she’d remember me and nearly everyone by name/face a year later, it was incredible. She had a hug and a massive smile for everyone.

Godspeed to The Gem, he’s had a rough last year or so. I hope the Gophers can honor him one more time. It’s time.

Forever Ski-U-Mah Yevette.

My nephew went to his camp for 2 years and same story as others, she was very kind and very involved with the campers. She and Coach Koz ran the camps.

The breakwater of the Haskins family—may her memory be for a blessing.

Yvette was the gem behind Clem the gem, very nice people who made an impact on a lot of kids who follow this program now as adults.
