Worth Noting

An anonymous Gopher basketball season ticket holder—weary of the present era—emailed the following about the departure of All-Big Ten center Daniel Oturu for the NBA Draft: “Not a big surprise. Fortunately our roster is loaded with talent.”

Nbadraftnet.net projects Oturu being the No. 8 first round selection of the Charlotte Hornets. The last Gopher to be selected in the first round was Kris Humphries in 2002, drafted No. 14 by the Utah Jazz.

The same website had Duke point guard Tre Jones going in the first round earlier in the season but now has the former Apple Valley star being selected No. 54 in the second round by the Sacramento Kings.

Rumors have 2019 Minnesota Mr. Basketball Matthew Hurt transferring from Duke where he started 22 of 31 games, with five teammates playing more minutes. The Rochester John Marshall alum and prep All-American was fourth on the team in scoring at 9.7 points per game. Hurt is back home with his family in Rochester.

With no Minnesota natives among his top assistants, fans may wonder if head coach Richard Pitino will hire someone with state ties now that assistant Rob Jeter has accepted the head coaching job at Western Illinois.


Go Gophers!!
 


Since when is quoting anonymous season ticket holder's unsolicited advice the basis of passing on information?

It's time to retire this guy from the board, Bleed.
 




Loaded with talent???....Are we sure this isnt a Kansas season ticket holder?..It cant be a gopher team that is gonna win 6-7 B10 games next year.
 

Is this all a joke? Is the public being “punked”? One anonymous season ticket holder’s opinion is now news? What has journalism become?
 

the season-ticket holder is identified as "weary of the present era."

Ergo, I assume the "loaded with talent" line is sarcasm - meaning the source believes the opposite.

Filled with talent, however, the season ticket holder neglected to say, at what. Shama, being the journalist he is, failed to follow up with the follow on question!
 




Fixed it.
