Re: Pam Borton Out @ MN.
Minnesota has deep pockets. The Gophers might want someone with a big name, national recruiting experience and success in the NCAA tourney. AJ might be too local for Minnesota's ego. I wouldn't say good-bye to him quite yet. AJ might not even want the job. Expectations on the Gophers' next coach are likely to be unrealistically high, as usual.This space for lease.

Re: Pam Borton Out @ MN.
The article on Pam Borton's firing clearly outlined why the end was coming, and in fact, I am surprised she lasted this long after the episode when the players left the team, and she didn't make it to the NCAA's for the next five years. When we walked on to Frost last night, the first question in my mind is, why does she have just 10 players on her team. Don't tell me Minnesota doesn't expect to have at least 15 players on the roster in the Big 10. That fact, forget the injuries, alone tells me that she was having difficulty finding, evaluating and or keeping players. And aside from Banham and the redshirt freshman center, I didn't see any other player out on the floor that was any better...if as good, as the freshmen alone that we have on this year's team.

Re: Pam Borton Out @ MN.
I love it. One person says AJ might not be big enough for Minnesota's ego. The next person suggests Borton may go to NDSU. Borton isn't big enough for NDSU's ego. Ha! They want Geno A.!
Going to be an interesting couple of weeks!
SUPERBUNNYMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, BIZUN!!!

Re: Pam Borton Out @ MN.
There are two things working against AJ getting the job. One is the fact that the other two "headliner" women's sports at Minnesota , volleyball and hockey ,already have male coaches. I think there would be an uproar from the female booster base if another male is hired unless it is a huge name. And second , the AD listed three major strengths the new coach must have , and one was being an proven recruiter not only locally but nationally. AJ has done wonders with players from SD and bordering states , but doesn't have much of a nation-wide recruiting footprint. I think AJ would be an excellent choice , but the Gophers have a young aggressive AD who may be looking for a big-splash type of hire.

Re: Pam Borton Out @ MN.
Originally posted by witness View PostNo idea but I try not to kept caught up too much in that. A lot of factors determine if somebody is going to be good in college no matter their high school recruiting or how good they were in high school. Some players are already maxed out by the time they leave high school and don't get any better, some are still growing so they are under recruited, some deal with player developement at the college and the quality of the coach. Even if she did or didn't recruit the players at SDSU, it doesn't mean she was right or wrong.
Recruiting is an evaluation of talent, as you stated. If she didn't recruit our girls, I'd say she was dead wrong in her assessment of their potential. If she would have been right, she'd probably still have a job today.

Re: Pam Borton Out @ MN.
Originally posted by witness View PostDid any other major Midwest teams like Wisconsin recruit SDSUs players? Highly doubt it. Sure, recruiting is an evaluation of talent but so many different factors go into recruiting players. I would not be at all surprised if most of the players from Minnesota on the Gophers were rated higher out of high school but I don't follow women recruiting as much as men's
