Digging into background of Drake transfer Liam Robbins and just found out his uncle is Minnesota asst. Ed Conroy. Conroy's son, Hunter, also on Gophers team. Sure looks like a no-brainer for 7-foot Robbins (who numerous Valley coaches told me is a future pro) to wind up a Gopher.

Curious as to why he wasn’t a gopher all along? Is his uncle new to the staff?

One reason(well maybe not) to watch Wrestlemania tonight: Rick '15 seconds of shame' Pitino and Richie Rich are determining home court of a Minnesota/Iona game next year over the result of the World Championship match.

UK was largely forgettable this year, BUT I did enjoy watching that kid.

I'm forced to watch all the UK games (fiance is a UK fan) but they were far from forgettable this year. Yes, they did lose to Evansville which was awesome. But if you take that away they had a nice season. They had a very good shot at making the final four. If Richards and/or Quickley return they will be your preseason #1.

It’s Kentucky. The odds of one of their couple featured players returning are not zero, but they are pretty slim.

Not sure I could name a kid other than Hagans. I didn’t say they were bad, they were just another cookie-cutter UK team and, to me, forgettable. Talented enough to go to a final four, young enough to probably not.

Once again our personal mailman delivers.

Corey Evans - Minnesota lands Drake transfer Liam Robbins, sit one, play two big man. Heard from a few MVC coaches that believed he was the best pro prospect in the league last year. Should be a good one for the Gophers.

Good, hope those guys don't come back. I have no idea what effects the Coronavirus will cause in regards to roster turnover around the country, but the last thing I want to see is UK bringing everyone back and having another super-team like they've done multiple times now.

Those super-teams (his best team actually) have hung exactly one championship banner in Cal’s entire tenure at UK. We are fast approaching 10 years since the last one, and never say never but I don’t see another one coming in the interim. Unless you get lightning in a bottle, that’s what happens when you randomly assemble 5 stars.

And all this in the SEC. Not saying that league is down every year or anything, but it’s still the SEC. I think we can all agree that UK would be an upper-middle (like between 4-7) B1G team every year.

His one did come about as a result of something interrupting his normal recruiting cycle. The lockout caused a few key players to come back. 
 

you would think he would have learned e value of that
