I think that bridge might have been burned. If i remember correctly, he sort of just left and didnt really tell the team. Not sure if its an immaturity deal or entitlement but you sort of expect that from a 19 year old... That is why you need a strong support system and it seems like his support system failed him a bit. If he really wants to be a QB, he should go find a place with a good track record, and prepare to sit a few years and learn/ be patient.

I felt like it was sort of hard to tell because of the camera angle, but to say that Umpire seemed inconsistent was an understatement. I dont love blaming things on the ump but it seemed like he got caught up in the moment/crowd.

It seems a bit silly. If you have a player that is elite level at a high major, eventually he will be showcased and teams might come a calling. If anything, I think you almost use it as a selling point-- We took a kid few believed in and then everyone came a calling.

You just never know. This seems just like the Elijah Wood situation. I think if you have a guy who knows he wont see time for the first 2 years and is ok with it, it can work. Quaran sounds like he had some talent but blew out his knee and then things went sideways. I tend to agree with you, and these things dont seem to work often--- But no harm/no foul in trying him out I guess(other than wasting a Scholarship)

I would assume we are done now. Hold onto that other scholarship for something special. Quaran seems like Elijah Wood. He is apparently friends with the Wilcher brothers.

I think its a valid concern seeing that we have struggled to get the ball to wide open guys for easy looks. That also being said, some of his tape shows he seems to have a bit of a "I dont care who is guarding me, ill shoot" and he sort of makes his own shot and has a pretty quick release. Dont know if that is against guys more his size or how is speed will match up. I just like the idea that he seems willing to sort of go "full steph curry" and shoot wherever.

Ahhh gotcha. I guess that makes more sense. If Edwards hadnt reclassified and we had just added him as a freshman, I think I heard we would have had a top 10 class. That is bonkers.

Sort of interesting that they include Edwards and Wilcher in the recruiting class when they were transfers. I get they are just using their stars to explain fi they were new recruits(and Edwards basically is since he re-classified and joined in Jan with DePaul). That being said, in terms of excitement, I really want to see what Tominga can do. I get he is smaller and questions about other aspects but some of his tape gets me excited that he will shoot from anywhere, has a quick release and seems comfortable shooting in weird spots. McGowens is the prize of the class. I hope Edwards will be a good shooter. Overall, these 6 guys could be program builders. Only guy I am so/so on is Kojents but cant teach that size.

Dosunmu is gone. Gophers are losing Marcus Carr(most likely), and also lost Gabe Kalscheur and Liam Robbins. I believe Brandon Johnson might leave as well. They will be in a similar boat to where we were two years ago. Very few returning players and just a hodge podge. I dont see the Gophers being very good. In terms of returning and adding new talent, we have to be near the top. Still not sure if we can get it all together but it could be a perfect storm. Lets say we have this years team going into last years B1G, we might still struggle. But a weaker B1G and talented team who know eachother makes things interesting. I am trying not to let myself get too excited but we should be one of the better teams in the B1G this year.

I agree. We brought in good talent for last season but no one had played together. As you stated, we now can have a few guys learning the offense while everyone else is just improving. It will help to allow some really talented guys the ability to assimilate slower if need be. That being said, guys like Bryce Mcgowens, CJ Wilcher, Keon Edwards should be key contributors early and then guys like Keisei Tominaga, Wilhelm Breidenbach can take time to warm into the system. Its very exciting. I am hoping for a top 8 finish but if the team grows as they can and fixes turnovers/free throws, no reason they cant make the dance and win a game!

I think they will have additional spots because still some rumors on Stevenson and Thor. Most think Stevenson is gone and Thor is weighing his options. My guess is we still add one more transfer and then keep our eyes/ears open but as you said push those to future years. This recruiting class is probably the best we have ever had. The talent is there. Bringing back guys who have played together is huge as well. Now I am curious to see how it all comes together.

Correct. The taser is usually on the non dominate side but facing in a way that you reach across your body to access it. It is a completely different movement. This Officer had 26 years of experience. There is no excuse to her using the wrong one.

This is just awful. I feel for the Wright family and that mistake by the office is unacceptable. My dad teaches police in this area for a living. I havent chatted with him, but there is a chance he trained this officer or for sure knew her(he worked in a neighboring town). High stress is part of the job and not knowing the difference between a gun and a taser is high incompetence. A man died because of it. Accident or not, she should be fired and probably face some sort of charges. My other concern is the act of force. So they pulled him over for I believe a warrant? but I dont fully understand going right to a taser there. Brooklyn Center is a very diverse city in the northwest suburbs of the Twins Cities. My stomach is sick. Reminds me a bit of the officer who killed the Australian woman because he got scared.

My guess is they think Nate is a better recruiter and better in-game coach. Curious how long term Doc will be here for or if this is sort of a pre-retirement deal.

Great hire. I was hoping he would land on somewhere eventually.

I dont know if I would call him good as much as unknown. He has size which is a good start but he strikes me as someone who we wont see a ton the first year or two and hopefully he can grow into someone who will help us. I assume he sees on average less than 5 minutes a game next year

I think the might view Wilheim as more of a Lat type. Probably not someone who can play a ton at the 4 until they put muscle on. I dont know if it will be quite as lean as Lat but he will need to muscle up a bit to even be a consistent 4 in B1G play.

Washut has mentioned him a few times over the last month. I think he even predicted he would be coming here back in march. That being said, pretty much radio silence.

Was his source Adrians dad? I hope we see freshman AM again at some point. He has talent. Who knows if it was the shoulder injury or just between the ears, but something hasnt allowed him to make good decisions or good throws. Seems like a good kid and has some good leadership abilities but the mental/physical stuff hasnt come together. EDIT- I apologize for keeping the AM talk going in the Logan thread-- feel free to move or delete this since it doesnt fit.

played 18 games(started 17)/ 36.1 minutes--11.2 pts/ 7.7 assists/3.2 reb/2.7 steals Not bad numbers for him. I wonder if he is going to try for a bigger program. I do wish it would have worked out with Cam at Nebraska because he has a lot of talent.

We had one and we used him as a goaline back... I am not saying Wandale was as good as Rondale but we also utilized him so poorly.

Not surprising. Mike Boone was their 3rd RB and he left-- Ameer can do a wide variety of things for them. Steady player. SKOL BIG RED

Says the guy who tried to argue the kid had a lot of talent and cant even spell his name right... Keep trying my man.

hahahaha-- Ya, just keep singing this kids praises. And yes, I am fairly confident Hoiberg showed him the door by letting him know he wasnt going to see minutes.
