Would have been nice but we are never going to need that many seats if Jones is still coaching.

@RyanJamesMN: 7-ft Carson Shanks, the Utah State transfer, is here as a Gopher guest once again. He's going to be a Gopher once admitted.

Someone go tell Rudolph that Wilkie is the QB he needs for this class!

So here is what I think of every player so far this season: Huff - Mostly what we expected, great scorer and has a knack to find rebounds even against bigger guys. Forces things way too often and takes a lot of bad shots and doesn't dish the ball and I know he can be a great passer if he wants to be . Overall Grade: C+ Anderson - Great shooter and very smart with the ball but I think he has adapted to some of his teammates and has attempted to force things and play out of his game. Very disappointing to me this season, Overall Grade: C Webb - I cringe everytime he shoots but he always seems to hit big shots. Has a nice touch around the rim and a solid defender. Wish he was a better passer but he is alright. Overall Grade: C+ Nash - Very athletic, can hit the occasional 3, not strong enough to guard bigs down low but athletic enough. Like everyone else he forces things that aren't necessary. Overall Grade: B Hooker - Not nearly as good as advertised, yet. Good finisher around the rim but I haven't seen him do much with perimeter shooting. Not a true PG. Overall Grade: C+ Schuler - Should be playing as a 2 but hasn't been. Cannot guard the bigs, does a fine job against guards. Great shooter and smart player. He has a nice little runner too! Overall Grade: A Calcaterra - Provides some height down low and that's about it. Overall Grade: D Traylor - Has some good post moves but never passes the ball if he touches it. Always in foul trouble or hurt. Overall Grade: D+ Salmonson - See Calcaterra, Overall Grade: D Stefan - Good shooter and seems smart with the ball from what I have seen. Needs more minutes! Overall Grade: B Antwi - Can hit the 3 and is fast! Surprised at the lack of minutes. Overall Grade: C- Benton - Asked to guard much bigger opponents and he does a good job. Does not provide any offense though. Overall Grade: C Hobaugh - Rarely plays. Overall Grade: Incomplete Thomas - Rarely plays. Overall Grade: Incomplete Not the best summary of every player but I was bored and just thought I would start something. I am really disappointed in this team so far as I am sure many of you are.

Benton really confuses me. He reminds me of a football/hockey player trying to play basketball at the Y. Good defensively, but has no touch on offense and no control. But when I watch him in pregame he drills 3s left and right.

Still a pathetic performance. Webb is the only reason we won.

That was a terrible call.

Benedictine College a NAIA school.

I'm done with Jones. Hire Ryan Moody back. He's got his team sitting pretty at 10-1 with wins over the #1 and #2 teams in the nation.

I agree completely!

Is it bad that I am kind of excited to have a fresh faced team next year?

Another thing that crosses over from football to basketball this year. Too many similarities!

I agree that he has the potential to bring more of that but he just doesn't. He rarely shoots it seems and I don't know if I have seen him make a three yet this year. Has had some nice drives but just doesn't try to score very much. I wish he was more of a true point guard that can get 7 dimes a game.

I have such mixed feelings on starting Hooker over Webb. On one hand I want to see the "biggest" recruit UND basketball has had in a while but on the other Webb has proven himself for 3+ years and to be honest Hooker has not impressed me at all this far like I have previously said.

Any chance we see Hyrnkiw?

I do not understand how Kuksa could hit so hard! I have seen him in person and he is a twig! If only we would have just redshirted him!

Just curious from anybody that knows, what exactly is Kurt Palandech? What type of QB is he and what is his potential? Obviously he is kind of in a tough position to play anytime soon but I am just curious in what we have.

He did favorite that tweet that I posted of Jameer Jackson. I just ignored it when I saw it but I didn't notice that Norberg went around Illinois State's campus. The girl that gave him a tour tweeted back at him saying something about "Anything for the future redbirds of america". OH-OH!

From the tweets that his mom has, I would have to agree.

Jameer Jackson ‏@JJackson_Kato152h If I was doing this for you. Then I have nothing left to prove. This for me though. I'm just tryna take care of my people. #RIPUND #Trophies

I have to be honest looking at our conference schedule next season I see a win against Weber and then I see a couple of toss-ups with Portland State and Northern Colorado. The rest of the conference schedule does not look good for us as of right now but things change.

I just wish Kuksa was able to come back. Looked like our best defensive player as a true freshman.

I was fairly impressed with what I saw from Idowu last season.

I wonder if we will see "recruiting chestbumps" on twitter anymore.

Blame your boy Bubba. I am sure this was his decision.
