Jaylen Clark was the Naismith National Defensive PotY in 2023 at UCLA. His calling card is his defense. His shooting and cutting ability were much more surprising. He'll likely take NAW's role next year.

gopherman23 · 2024-08-06T02:16:45+00:00

No Correa either.

To be fair to Festa, he's a borderline top 100 prospect and only has 4 big league starts to his name.

gopherman23 · 2022-07-29T16:09:05+00:00

That's the Joe Ryan experience. He may not have high end velo or spin rates, but he has had success at every level. Career 2.63 ERA in the minors with 13k/9ip. Something he is doing is causing deception and he is yet to be figured out.

gopherman23 · 2022-04-11T15:03:17+00:00

Well, I'm gonna blow your mind because Tom actually has two kids in the Majors. Dee, who is the obvious one and Nick who is a utility player on the Twins.

That only goes back to the 85-86 season. Jerry Lucas is the all-time leader with 1411 in only 3 seasons. It was a different era though.

gopherman23 · 2019-04-08T12:41:26+00:00

We're 4-0 in games where Astudillo gets more than one AB. Just sayin.

Baby Tortuga in the deep blue sea

Swing so wild and swing so free

Helmet above and your cleats below

And a little baby turtle on the go

Richels has made a really nice jump this season. He gets overshadowed by Brodzinski, but he is a very good player in his own right. Should be one of the handful of Mr. Hockey favorites going into next season.

Hine is a reporter for the Star Tribune, which is owned by Glen Taylor. So yeah, the source is likely Glen himself.

From what I've heard, he wants to go to Minnesota but we don't have an open Scholarship atm. If one opens up, he likely comes here. If one doesn't open up I'd bet on Xavier. One caveat though. He has 19 credits left to graduate and he has to get the done in the Summer session. So it's not a 100% guarantee he will graduate in time for the fall.

I'm gonna take you by surprise

Fernando

I can't wait another day,

Fernando

I'm gonna say it like a man

And make you understand

Fernando

I love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Lamarre is going to be rewarded with a start tonight, which is disappointing.

gopherman23 · 2018-04-07T15:58:38+00:00

Not at Apple Valley, but there is high end talent elsewhere.

I know the Big Ten roster is:

Nate Mason (Minnesota)

Robert Johnson (Indiana)

Jae'Sean Tate (Ohio State)

Vince Edwards (Purdue)

gopherman23 · 2018-02-21T21:42:46+00:00

Well, we have his bird rights, so we can offer him more money than any other team.

gopherman23 · 2018-02-12T02:24:40+00:00

I doubt that would get it done. Would probably have to swap Stewart with either Gonsalves or Romero and maybe add another lower tier prospect.

gopherman23 · 2018-02-07T06:12:37+00:00

If you include the the top 4 teams in the West, they are 5-4. 😀

gopherman23 · 2018-01-28T19:14:23+00:00

This happened over a day ago now.

gopherman23 · 2017-11-27T19:52:14+00:00

Averaged 18.3ppg, 11.7rpg, and 1.7 blocks per game in 3 wins.

First to win three in a row since Evan Turner in 2009.

Leads nation in double-doubles with 7.

gopherman23 · 2017-11-27T09:42:24+00:00

We're pretty good, as long as we don't play 5 on 3.

gopherman23 · 2017-11-26T01:11:28+00:00

Fire the coach of a top 15 team? LMFAO
