If Stollings were still the coach, you can bet there would be.

Yes, the Gophers have made an offer to a player (Chloe Spreen) who, gulp, has not yet started high school. She's a 5-9 shooting guard from Indiana, who also has an offer from Michigan State. https://www.captainu.com/Basketball/2024/ChloeSpreen

Point guard Acacia Hayes tweeted she has an offer and Whalen liked the tweet. http://www.espn.com/high-school/girls-basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/237476

That video is WEIRD. I know everything is weird during the pandemic but: A. She does not look like the same person, B. A lot is being unsaid (presumably, she's leaving because her inability to get a contract extension indicated Duke was through with her?). C. I'm trying to remember when a...

I know you to be a thoughtful and valued contributor to this site, but cutting and pasting a story like this is copwright infringement, and at a time when newspapers are the most endangered they have ever been.

Really fun to re-watch what I believe was the first Gopher game I attended in person.

Is it, though? In any case, are her injuries a concern?

Raoul reports that McDonald's All-American point guard Alexis Smith, having been given the boot by Baylor and worn one for part of her brief time in New Jersey, is moving on again.

Some of these line-ups are pretty close to five-guard line-ups, including Youngblood's (although, since he doesn't know how to spell Sissoko...). I'm with you, Ignatius, in thinking Mershon starts if she's available and, if not, the Gophers need Hedman available fast. Otherwise, I guess Sconiers...

...and, let's be honest, there are red flags.

Not sure if these rankings have been revised? Anyway, the Gophers with two in the top 100, Smith and Hedman http://www.espn.com/high-school/girls-basketball/recruiting/rankings/_/class/2020

Raoul reports her top scorer, Holesinska, has decamped for North Carolina (which reportedly has done some vicious roster-trimming).

They must think they can land a pretty big name if they're dumping Alston, who was pretty good in most respects except obviously the big one of player retention. (In other words, I don't think Stollings will be failing up into this gig.)

I was thinking of Mershon.

Are we sure all of the Gophers are scholarship athletes? Maybe an out-of-state player is willing to walk on to come home, for instance?
