The Minnesota Gophers suffered another Big 10 road loss to a classy, talented, experienced Ohio State team under coach Tubby Smith this weekend, 76-60, but there are five reasons why such humbling defeats will become rarer for the Gophers and coach Smith next season.
They are: Colton Iverson, Ralph Sampson III, Paul Carter, Devron Bostick, and Devoe Joseph. Those five recruits would likely beat the Gophers current starting five more often than not, and when playing in unison with those older, more experience Gophers players, will make the team far more formidable next season.
Sure, this season’s Gophers squad is a big improvement over the team that seemed more interested in plus size lingerie than in winning last season under Dan Monson and an interim head coach, but they have some growing to do.
How about twin towers Iverson and Sampson as the starting point for that growth spurt?
