Gophers are loading up on knockdown shooters. We need a nickname for this crew.

All 6'5" to 6'7" guards/forwards with a track record of being great three-point shooters.

This team is so fun. The Barn was fired up for today’s game. We aren’t tournament bound and are record is not amazing but Niko Medved’s name should be in coach of the year conversations. #SkiUMah #GoGophers

The coaching job that Niko Medved has done this year is so impressive. Even with all of the injury struggles, this team competes hard, they play an unselfish game, and they are so fun to watch. Easily the most likable underdogs in the league! #SkiUMah #GoGophers

Men's hockey upsets No. 4 Denver on the road
Football team signs its best recruiting class in program history

COMMIT: The #Gophers beat out Alabama and land the top in-state recruit with Jackson County Central four-star Roman Voss.

Fleck and staff get the #1 ranked MN recruit for a third straight year.

"I think we're going to do special things at Minnesota."

[Tony Liebert @TonyLiebert]

Jackson, MN 4🌟ATH Roman Voss has verbally committed to the Gophers, who continue to be RED-HOT on the recruiting trail.

P.J. Fleck just pulled off one of the biggest recruiting wins of his coaching career.

More thoughts: https://t.co/aH6PRc4ZoM

[Tony Liebert @TonyLiebert]

P.J. Fleck and the Gophers have landed the last four No. 1-ranked high school players to come out of Minnesota

Roman Voss (2026)
Emmanuel Karmo (2025)
Koi Perich (2024)
Jaxon Howard (2023)

A serious statement made by Fleck and his staff.
