Trevor? Are we still a top 4 B1G team without him? A realistic Sweet-16 team? Do we have enough depth to overcome his loss? Could EE start at Center, with Rodney at PF & Ingram & Oto backing him up & still be a contender, or does his contribution go far beyond stats, to the point where you can't replace spirit & heart?

How about Rodney? Could EE start, with Ingram & Oto filling in behind Trevor & we're still a Sweet-16 type squad?
 

Don't you put that voodoo magic on me!!!!

Probably the last thing I want to think about.
 

I just listened to an ESPN podcast with Tubby as their guest, and the guy said that he jumped on the Gopher bandwagon a few years back, but that things have not gone well since, and Tubby went on and on and on about the many different injuries that the Gophers have been plagued with over the past few seasons, and when you think about it, its amazing just how many injuries the Gophers have had to deal with over the years, dating all the way back to Sam Jacobson going out for most of a season, to come back in time to get us into the NIT. But its been very hard to endure all of these kinds of setbacks. So now I read some poster talking about how vitally important each and every member of the team seem to be, and I just have to hold my breath and pray that this team stays healthy. There could be alot of great years ahead for this team, especially if we can nab a couple key recruits, but it could all fall apart as well. One injury leading to a letdown of a season leading to missing out on key recruits leading to more future struggles. It's amazing when you think about it, how one bad thing can just snowball into something so much worse. What Gophers need is some positive snowballing. A couple big wins, leading to a good seed, leading to a deep run, leading to getting some key recruits, leading to more big wins and more deep runs, etc., etc., etc..
 

Gophers may have had more than their share of injured players, but keep in mind if it wasn't for a serious injury Trevor would not be on this team.
