Jordan Murphy, one of the best Golden Gopher Basketball Players of all time. If this program takes off like it possibly could Jordan will be known as the guy that started it all.
Rochester JM senior Matthew Hurt has been named Gatorade Player of the Year for Minnesota
Hurt averaged 37.1 points, 12.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.8 steals, & 1.8 blocks a game this year
Hurt is the all time leading scorer for big schools in Minnesota with 3,819 career points
92 bucks.
That's what they get (approx) to be your HS football official.
They drive from Job A to Job B, get their early, spend a couple hours reffing, drive home, for $92.
Paying $10 DOES NOT give you a pass to act a fool just to "support" your kid.
I'm a Timberwolves fan for life
I was at the Dome
We had the Pooh Richardson SI poster
We had the Toby Campbell ๐ชsized poster
We went to JR Wolves Camps
I put the KG contract signing front page photo on my college door
Yeah this is frustrating but

Who is in?
The Minnesota Gophers are going to beat the Michigan Wolverines giving them a Big Ten win.
Remember when "this team won't win one game in the Big Ten"????
So what's next Minnesota? Possibly oh so much!

4-star star guard prospect Jamal Mashburn Jr has committed to the University of Minnesota. Mashburn is from Miami but attends Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, NH. 247 Sports ranks Jamal as the 85th best talent in the 2020 class (11th among combo guards)
Northern State transfer Parker Fox was offered a scholarship by Minnesota Head Coach Ben Johnson this evening. Fox was a D2 All American this year.
Ohio State and Creighton are two others coming on strong
Notre Dame has offered Caledonia 2022 Eli King a football scholarship. The ND basketball staff is also contacting Eli and they are working on a dual sport visit for the future
Playing FIVE underclassmen, Minnehaha Academy just beat an all senior Apple Valley team considered the best group in Minnesota. Therefore the new best team in state is Minnehaha Academy.
These Gophers man.....
There will be a lot of bigger teams
There will be a lot of deeper teams
There will be a lot more athletic teams
But I don't think many will match the heart and fight of this Gopher team. Not sure what the record will be, but they will battle
5โญ๏ธ Minnesota Mr Basketball award winner Matthew Hurt of Rochester John Marshall has committed to Duke. Matthew is the fourth 5star player from Minnesota to commit to Duke in the last six years
As a Minnesota Gopher football fan you have every right to question why in year 6 of PJ Fleck, the Gophers have been completely outplayed/outcoached by Bret Bielema's team twice in two seasons, when Illinois had been previously so bad.
Chet Holmgren. Greatest high school basketball prospect in the history of Minnesota. Done Deal.
Tonight he is once again making his case as the greatest player in the history of Minnesota as well. Climbing that ladder, and there aren't many steps left.
"BREAKING: Minnesota Basketball lands No. 27 overall player Dennis Evans"
Evans is Minnesotaโs highest rated out-of-state commitment in 28 years, and the highest rated recruit since Royce White (14 years ago)
@Minnesota247
Minnesota Head Coach Ben Johnson has contacted Ball State point guard transfer Ishmael El-Amin.
El-Amin (played at Hopkins HS) averaged 16 points, 3 boards, and 3 assists a game last year.
I believe a 2-way deal was always the likely spot for Amir & it's what he's accomplished
I believe Amir gave Minnesota 3 strong years as a local talent
I believe many wanted to see what he could do in year 4 but that's past
Time for fans to cheer a Gopher who is now a Clipper
offices had "wear maroon and gold" day. Business had employees wear Minnesota gear today. Schools around Minnesota had "Minnesota Gopher day". And in Alexandria they took it a step further.
Don't ever remember this state this excited for college football in all my years.
With the commitment from Dennis Evans, Minnesota Coach Ben Johnson has landed the highest ranked out-of-state prospect in the last 28 years of Gopher Hoops (Courtney James, 1995).
Evans is the highest ranked Minnesota commit overall in the past 14 seasons (Royce White, 2009)
Minnesota fans should thank the world that former assistant Ben Johnson wanted Gabe Kalscheur on the Gophers and voiced a strong opinion for recruiting him. Gabe's SIX first half threes have changed everything.

Betts is ranked 87th in the country (Prep Hoops March national update) and visited Minnesota this past May
6'8 transfer forward Parker Fox has committed to Minnesota.

Did you know that all four Minnesota high school products that will be drafted tonight - Daniel Oturu, Tyrell Terry, Zeke Nnaji, and Tre Jones - won state titles in high school?
Minnesota transfer Gabe Kalscheur has committed to Iowa State.
Kalscheur - an All Big Ten level defender who scored 11.6 points per game as a sophomore, 9.2 last year - will transfer and play for new Cyclones coach T.J. Otzelberger
Ben Johnson just became very emotional talking about his team and this school. I have never seen that before from him. His love for this school and team is very clear.
Five star Duke committed Tre Jones is averaging 26 points, a dozen rebounds, 4.4 steals, and 6.4 assists a game shooting 47% from the floor, 80% from the FT line, 31% at the arc.
Sometimes when your fellow woman/man is hurting you donโt need to say anything. You donโt need to have your say. You donโt need to offer your view.
Sometimes we need to just listen to the pain of others and do our best to understand. To help.
Minnesota Head Coach Richard Pitino has called and offered Stewartville High School 2021 power forward Will Tschetter a scholarship.

@AdamZagoria
โI would say itโs between Gonzaga, Minnesota & Marquette. I think those are the 3 frontrunners.Those are the 3 schools that Iโm closest with & have some of the best relationships withโ
I need to share this.
Last year on a -20 degree day a student showed up with only a t-shirt. Limited clothes at home, none clean.
A colleague took the sweatshirt off his body and gave it to the kid. No hesitation.
Literally gave a student the shirt off his back.
