Loved his dad with the Kings. Great competitor. Hopefully he is the same.

Anyone else seen Gary Trent Jr. play? He is an 8th grader at Apple Valley who plays primarily JV. His dad is Gary Trent (former NBAer and Timberwolf) but Jr. is a slightly built guard, looks and plays nothing like his old man. He has some AAU cred and looked very tough last night playing against...

I feel for the kid. I watched him at the EYBL and he was a very impressive player and competitor. Very strong and great footwork for a big. http://www.usatodayhss.com/news/article/top-recruit-julius-randle-out-three-months-with-foot-fracture

I remember a thread that outlined where all the Minnesota kids are playing but after some searching I cannot seem to find it :confused:. Anyone have a list or anything? Just curious more than anything.

So I am bored at work and noticed how many "views" the "All Things Tyus Jones" thread has. Its over 100,000. The next highest is around 1/2 that ("All Things Rashad Vaughn") number of views. It also has 300+ more posts than the next highest (All Things Royce White) thread. I know the site has...

What does everyone project for Austin Hollins this year? He struggled mightily at times last year and unless he made significant improvements (which he may have done) he will struggle again this year. If he is logging serious minutes in the back court with his similarly named teammate, Welch...

I think of the guys we have seen this year that Mo Walker is the best player of the 4 (Walker, Armelin, Ahanmisi and Hollins) but I will say that of the three guards I prefer Armelin over the others. I know Walker is hard to compare but his basketball IQ, physical presence and shear size make...

Sorry for the delay on this but one of the announcers (Dakich, I believe) said that Armelin has the best vertical on the team. Any truth to this? Or was he just talking to talk? Chip is a great athlete but I assumed Rodney was the best leaper on the team. Shortly after he said this Chip...

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=6089805 Sorry if this thread is already up, I didnt see it when I looked. Impressive stats, but would have to sit out a year if he stays with a D1 program. Tubby has been able to land some former NBA'ers kids, would he be interested in LDII? I just...

Does anyone know how the Pomeroy rankings are figured for individuals or teams? For instance, Nate Wolters is ranked #3 in the nation for Offensive Rating. I am sure its a combination of points, steals, rebounds, assist, turnovers, etc. but I'd like to know the actual equation for this and his...

This might be the wrong forum, and if so I am sorry for starting a thread but I heard a long segment on Kfan with Dan Barreiro discussing this before Thanksgiving. Could this be the straw that breaks the camels back and gets Maturi fired? Another lawsuit in excess over $1 million pending...

Not sure how this works but do the Gophers get an extra scholarship for next year with/if Devoe leaves? I think thats the rule but these things change a lot. If he does leave, are there any good options to take his spot/scholarship? I know Tubby was a bit handcuffed having only two seniors...

Last thread I'll start today (probably) Can the Gophers play zone? We don't defend on the ball well in man to man and a 3-2 zone with Sampson, Mbakwe, Rodney, Al and Blake/Devoe would cause problems for teams, help defend against the 3 and give us a different look. I have seen the 2-3 zone a...

Just curious as to what everyone thinks of Tubby's comments on his players. Is he blowing smoke or just trying to motivate guys? He said (I'm paraphrasing) that Mo Walker is the smartest basketball player he has ever coached. Also said that Hollins is the best on the ball defender he has ever...

Looking for 2 LOWER LEVEL tickets for South Dakota State on December 23rd. Let me know if you have any for sale

Any thoughts on this kid? He reminds me of Dexter Pittman from Texas who overpowered guys and was an absolute load to handle down by the hoop. (ask Iverson and Sampson who played him in the NCAA tourney) I think there is huge upside to him.
