*We got to watch Davonte Fitzgerald for the first time on Monday as the Texas A&M transfer had a late class last time we were granted access. My sample size is small, but he certainly looks the part of being able to impact this team in a major way next year. Monday, he showed off a great-looking shot with good lift as well as athleticism under the basket, scoring at the rim a couple times including finishing off an alley oop. Pitino had him grouped with the guards and wings, further indicating that he'll play in the backcourt next year. His size, about 6-8, will be a real asset on the perimeter and he should be a lot more versatile than most of the 3-men the Gophers have had in the recent past.

Go Gophers!!
 

Hopefully he can know down the 3. If he can, then we should be pretty solid next year.
 

How is his perimeter defense? I'd love to see a long Gopher who can guard the corner three.
