    Gopher Potential Portal Pursuits

    Speaking of Dennis Evans, is there a reason not to take another look at him? I'll bet we could get him for close to nothing. He's more of a basketball player than Jack Wilson.

    We know Williams can shoot. At this point, that's a reason to take him.

    Last week at this time there was great fear of the Suns in this market. A general sense of dread. Post game two there's way too much cockiness amongst the local fans and media. The Suns big three are all going into the HOF. Vogel is a well respected coach. Their fans are just as hungry as...

    Oregon transfer Brennan Rigsby commits to MN

    Nobody misses shots on you tube. However, he looks athletic. Never a bad thing.

    Frank Mitchell commits

    If the U gets Johnson the money he needs to sign top portal players, top recruits and retain his best players, we will be amazed at his rapid development as a coach. Based on The Athletic's rankings, Mitchell is a very poor man's Pharrell Payne. The operative word is "poor."

    Young Joe won't make that PR mistake again. He'll send the front office out to tell the public that they have advised ownership not to spend money, as his elders always did.

    It's a really, really bad look not to invest in the team after finally doing something in the playoffs last year.

    Ranking Big Ten men’s basketball coaches (#18. Ben Johnson, Minnesota)

    My mistake. Didn't realize it was FB. In any case, my understanding most of whatever NIL money there is per capita goes to FB, so it should be easier for PJ to keep his star players. Secondly, I can't imagine the U's hoops NIL rank is much different than FB. I suppose it's possible, but it...

    Ranking Big Ten men’s basketball coaches (#18. Ben Johnson, Minnesota)

    I agree with the poster who said it was likely an AI generated ranking. However, it lines up with the eye test and most metrics. However, the most important metric was left out. The U ranks 14th out of 18 in NIL money. Correlation or causation? I wonder what Ben could do with Michigan or...

    As counterintuitive as it sounds, I'd rather be freaked out by the matchup (and I am!) than over confident. There's something about super scary that turns into a win in sports that is inexplicable. The west is so competitive that there will definitely be lower tier playoff teams beating upper...

    I still like Slo-Mo. He's got a soft shot that the rims around the league seem to love. His eight foot push shot/floaters always seem to bounce around the rim and go in. He is a disaster behind the three point line. His passing, defense and court vision remain excellent. I don't see the...

    Cam Christie declares for NBA (while maintaining college eligibility)

    I haven't seen Cam on any of the mock draft sites which means slightly more than nothing. He certainly looks like he can be an NBA player. I'd be surprised if he's a first round pick this year, even in a weak draft. I wouldn't be surprised if a team takes a flyer on him late in the second...

    Didn't see the game last night. How did Towns look?
