Open basketball practice notes: Welch and Coleman shine

Gophers coach Tubby Smith opened practice to the media Monday, so we had a chance to see the competition for the starting point guard spot, as well as how the newcomers are performing.
Disclaimer alert: This was only one scrimmage Monday, so I wouldn't jump to conclusions on how these players are doing right now based on the analysis. But hopefully it gives you an insight on what's going on with the Gophers in practice so far.
Who is the starting point guard?
As much as I was led to believe that freshman Andre Hollins was clearly the frontrunner going into the first practice Oct. 13, it certainly seems junior college transfer Julian Welch has a chance to win the starting job entering the season. Welch was the first to play point guard with what appeared to be the starting group (dressed in maroon) Monday. Welch and Hollins both ran point guard with the first unit, but Maverick Ahanmisi scrimmaged exclusively with the second team (dressed in gold) at point guard. The starters Monday seemed to be Welch, Austin Hollins, Rodney Williams, Trevor Mbakwe and Ralph Sampson III. Andre Hollins then replaced Welch at point guard, but he also played shooting guard alongside Welch. Austin Hollins also replaced Williams at small forward when Welch and Andre Hollins were in the backcourt together. Tubby said the starting point guard spot was still undecided, but I'd say it was Welch as of today. Tubby also said Welch was taking care of the ball better than any of the other guards right now (nearly a 3-to-1 assists to turnover ratio). During one-on-one passing drills, Welch was working on throwing the ball inside to Mbakwe.
Who had the best day?
Joe Coleman is going to be a fan favorite. I'm just going to go ahead and call that right now. I'm pretty sure he's already Tubby's favorite freshman. I can see why. The former Hopkins standout and Minnesota's Mr. Basketball does so many things well. He hustles. He defends. He finishes strong. He has a high basketball IQ. Tubby said Coleman has surprised him with his outside shooting in practice. I didn't see him shoot much from long range in Monday's scrimmage, so I can't judge him in that area. But he was getting into the passing lanes and finishing in transition. He has a nice running floater that's hard to block. He also showed his athleticism by leaping to block a baseline jump shot by Mbakwe in the scrimmage.
How do the newcomers look?
I talked about Coleman. Welch has a veteran presence about him. He wasn't turnover-free Monday, but he was more under control than Andre Hollins. He hit a couple three pointers, including one with Coleman right in his face. But I didn't see him get to the basket with much effectiveness. On the other hand, Andre Hollins was bouncing around the court. He never really slows down, which is good in transition but bad in the half-court set. His most impressive play of the day was a slash to the basket and high-arching layup over the outstretched hands of 7-foot Elliott Eliason and Oto Osenieks. Andre Ingram did not play a bunch in the scrimmage, but he was active on defense and rebounding. He looks a lot like Mbakwe because he's a strong-bodied, undersized power forward with athleticism. He's about an inch shorter and 20 pounds lighter than the 6-7, 240-pound Mbakwe. Walk-on Kendall Shell likely won't play at all this season, but he worked harder than some of his teammates during a rebounding tip drill.
Tubby's best shooting team?
I won't believe it until the Gophers start playing games, but Tubby said this is his best shooting team at Minnesota. How quickly he forgot the school's all-time leading three-point shooter, Blake Hoffarber. Andre Hollins didn't hit a three-pointer while I watched him in Monday's scrimmage, but Tubby said the Memphis product had been leading the team with better than 50-percent shooting from beyond the arc. Tubby said Coleman (50 percent), Austin Hollins (40 percent) and Osenieks (46 percent) were his best shooters from three-point range in practice. Not sure it'll be a surprise if Osenieks replaces Hoffarber as the team's top shooting threat. The 6-7 Latvia native hit a few three-pointers Monday in the scrimmage. There was talk about Williams changing his mechanics this summer to improve his three-point shooting. But Smith said that has not happened — and he doesn't want Williams to shoot much from outside the paint this season. Williams was 1-for-11 shooting from three-point range in scrimmages before Monday, Smith said.
"He's still got a lot of work to do, let me put it that way," Smith said. "He's never really going to be a three-point shooting threat."
The maroon and gold groups were separated as follows in Monday's scrimmage:
Maroon (possible starters) — Welch/Andre Hollins, Austin Hollins, Williams, Mbakwe and Sampson.
Gold (possible second group) — Ahanmisi, Coleman, Armelin, Osenieks and Eliason. Walk-on Chris Halvorsen got in some time.
More practice highlights:
– Osenieks banked in a three-pointer from 25 feet at the buzzer over Mbakwe during the scrimmage.
– Sampson made a couple solid passes from the high post to Mbakwe inside for baskets.
– Eliason scored on a jump hook over Sampson in the scrimmage. He also looks at least two inches taller than Sampson.
– Williams was attacking the basket quite a bit, but he couldn't finish consistently.
– Austin Hollins threw an alley-oop pass to Mbakwe for a dunk with Coleman trying to block it.
– Austin Hollins swatted away Williams put-back attempt with authority during a rebounding drill.
– Mbakwe tried to pull down the rim with a two-hand dunk on a missed hook shot from Sampson.
– Eliason nailed a 17-foot jump shot with Sampson running out in his face.
Why should the Gophers add another rivalry game?

Tom Osborne and Joel Maturi actually had some conversations about creating a trophy game between Nebraska and Minnesota.
But that's all it was just talk between two athletic directors. It didn't get any further than that right now for obvious reasons.
No sense adding another rivalry game that's completely one-sided. The fact that Saturday's 41-14 loss against the Cornhuskers was the narrowest margin of defeat for Gophers in the series since 1970 says something — as does 15 straight losses to Nebraska.
Osborne, the Huskers former coach, said last week he didn't think it made sense to "manufacture" a rivalry just because of geography and the fact that Nebraska has played the Gophers more times than any other Big Ten team.
"I really think this is something that has to evolve over time," Osborne said. "If you're in close competition and each team wins some and loses some, it tends to make it more of a rivalry. There's always the potential for one to develop."
When will that be? Four or five years from now when Gophers coach Jerry Kill says he should have the program turned around?
The Gophers already have trophy games they can't win, with exception to the Floyd of Rosedale pig. That's sitting behind a glass case in the football complex thanks to last year's surprising season-ending win against Iowa. But the Hawkeyes will surely get it back this week.
Minnesota won't be getting its hands on any other trophies in rivalry games soon. Wisconsin hasn't lost Paul Bunyan's Axe since 2003. Michigan had to give up the Little Brown Jug in 2005, but the Wolverines had it before that since 1986. The Gophers last won the Governor's Victory Bell by beating Penn State in 2004. But they won't play the Nittany Lions again until 2013.
Is it possible to start up a trophy game with a Football Championship Subdivision opponent or maybe a NCAA Division II team such as Minnesota State-Mankato? If so, Kill should probably give it a shot to keep that trophy case full more often than not.
Four-star post Phil Nolan scheduled to visit Gophers

Four-star Milwaukee Riverside University High School big man Phillip Nolan is scheduled to visit the Gophers next weekend, according to Nolan's high school coach, Tyrone Lewis.
"I'm not 100 percent sure, but the last time we talked he said he would be going there next week," Lewis said.
The 6-foot-10, 205-pound Nolan is ranked as the 14th best center in the 2012 class by Rivals.com. He visited Oregon and Marquette, and is making an official trip to Clemson this weekend. The Wisconsin native also has scholarship offers from Texas, Oklahoma, Baylor and Maryland.
Nolan is Minnesota's top center/power forward target to replace senior Ralph Sampson III next season. Gophers coach Tubby Smith made a home visit with Nolan and his parents on Sept. 29. Lewis said that meeting went well. Smith likes Nolan's athleticism and ability to play away from the basket.
"He shoots pretty well from the outside," Lewis said. "He can run the floor well and defend. He's a good leaper. He can play small forward, power forward or center."
After playing his junior season at St. Benedict Prep (N.J.), Nolan had planned to transfer to Arlington Country Day in Florida for his final high school season. But he eventually decided he wanted to be closer to home. That's why some recruiting experts have speculated that the local school, Marquette, has a good chance to land him.
During the summer, Nolan was motivated to prove that he deserved to be ranked higher than a top 100 player. But Rivals.com still has him listed as the No. 102 prospect in the 2012 class.
"I want to show people I still got it," Nolan told CBSSports.com's Jeff Borzello in July. "I'm at least top 50, maybe top 30."
Nolan also told CBSSports.com he would base his college choice on whether the program can help him get better and provide immediate playing time.
"I want a place to help me improve my game, but I also want to play my first year," he said. "Basically, a place that's willing to work with me."
– Despite having no visitors this could be a key weekend for the Gophers, especially if Hargrave Military Academy forward Charles Buggs makes a decision. Buggs' high school coach A.W. Hamilton said the 6-8 senior would sit down with his parents to figure out the best fit after an official visit to Arkansas this weekend.
Buggs, who also visited Santa Clara and Clemson, is also being pursued by West Virginia, Seton Hall and Marquette.
"I wouldn't be surprised either way; if he decides or waits," Hamilton said. "He really, really likes Minnesota. Coach Smith and (assistant coach Ron) Jirsa have done a tremendous job recruiting him. He's got a great relationship with both of those coaches, and he really loved his visit. There are a lot of positives there."
The Gophers would love to land Nolan and Buggs to replace two athletic players who will be gone in 2012-13. Trevor Mbakwe's eligibility will be up and Rodney Williams is expected to leave early for pro basketball.
– Findlay Prep 7-footer Matt Willms is expected to pick a school this weekend, but he did not visit the Gophers. Willms, a Canada native, made trips to Texas A&M, Nevada-Las Vegas and San Diego State.
Kirkwood trying to get fumbles out of his mind

It's not easy for young players to keep from dwelling on one big mistake in a game let alone two in the same half, but Minnesota's freshman running back Donnell Kirkwood said he's moved on from his two fumbles in a 45-17 loss Oct. 8 at Purdue.
The Gophers (1-5, 0-2) need him to put those issues in the past because they don't have the depth to replace him if he struggles again Saturday in a homecoming game against No. 13 Nebraska (5-1, 1-1). Kirkwood and starting senior Duane Bennett are the team's only healthy tailbacks this week.
"I wouldn't say it weighs on me, but as a running back it's always in the back of your mind," Kirkwood said of the fumbles. "But I believe after the first two carries after the fumbles, I got my confidence back. As a young guy, I don't want to fumble at all. That's just something no running back wants to do, but it happens. You just have to try to prevent it."
Hamstring injuries sidelined Kirkwood for the first two games this season. He still wears sleeves on both of his legs, but said he's feeling "perfect" right now. That's a great sign for the Gophers since freshmen David Cobb and Devon Wright might miss Saturday's game with hamstring issues of their own.
If he's as healthy as he says, I wouldn't be surprised if Kirkwood establishes himself as the team's best tailback in the last six games. Former Gophers player Kevin Whaley did that in 2009 before he was kicked off the team. Whaley was fast and a violent runner. Kirkwood runs with power but he also has deceptive quickness when finding cutting lanes up the field.
The Gophers are really suffering right now in the running game because former coach Tim Brewster was not able to keep several recruits and high-profile commitments from the 2008 and 2009 classes. Texas natives Hasan Lipscomb and Eric Stephens would have been sophomores or juniors this season. But Lipscomb did not have a qualifying test score and Stephens switched his commitment to Texas Tech in 2008. In 2007, GopherIllustrated.com's staff says Texas product LaMichael James contacted them saying he was going to Minnesota but he later denied that and eventually ended up at Oregon. James, a junior All-American candidate, has obviously been a Heisman Trophy candidate the last two seasons. In 2009, Maryland native Marcus Coker reportedly committed to the Gophers, but he later denied it as well. Coker is now Iowa's starting running back.
With holes to fill at tailback after missing out on some top recruits, Brewster brought in DeLeon Eskridge and Kevin Whaley, who both had solid freshman seasons in 2008 and 2009, respectively. But Whaley's off-the-field issues led to his departure after the Insight Bowl in 2009. And Eskridge transferred to my alma mater San Jose State over the summer to be closer to home in Northern California. Eskridge wasn't a star but he would have made a difference this year.
– Minnesota coach Jerry Kill could have used redshirt freshman Lamonte Edwards at running back right now. Edwards was No. 2 on the depth chart behind Bennett to open the season, but he struggled in short-yardage situations. Kirkwood provided the physical running style the Gophers were looking for, so he replaced Edwards after recovering from a hamstring injury. That move might turn out to be highly beneficial in the long run because I think Edwards has a bright future as a speedy outside linebacker. But I would give him some carries Saturday to keep Bennett and Kirkwood fresh.
– Edwards said he's trying to learn as much as he can from junior linebacker Keanon Cooper, even though he replaced Cooper as the starter against Purdue.
"Whenever he's on the field and I'm not, I try to watch him," Edwards said. "I try to imitate and mirror what he's doing. I have decent speed to keep up with receivers and players running routes."
– Gophers athletics director Joel Maturi said the football program was stuck with having to pick Nebraska as its homecoming game this season because it did not want to play Iowa or Wisconsin in that situation. Maturi said the idea is to have as many Minnesota fans as possible, which always becomes difficult against the program's most hated rivals in the Hawkeyes and Badgers. The Huskers will bring their share of fans as well Saturday but not nearly as many.
Walker hopes to make his own path without Joseph

Mo Walker took the news of his childhood friend, Devoe Joseph, transferring to Oregon last season hard. But the Canadian big man said Joseph's departure did not have any impact on his commitment to Minnesota's basketball program.
Walker, a 6-foot-10 sophomore, said before the start of practice last week he doesn't regret his decision to play for the Gophers. But he hasn't played for Minnesota since tearing his posterior cruciate ligament and meniscus Dec. 23 against South Dakota State at home last season. And it was a double blow when Joseph left the team soon after.
"It was tough to see him go, but at the same time he made the decision that was best for him," Walker said. "I'm supportive of him. But I made my decision to come here regardless of Devoe's choice. He did play some sort of role in my decision, but once I got here I just loved everything about it."
After 12 games last season, Walker was having a decent season for a freshman, averaging four points and three rebounds a game in nearly 10 minutes. He also had a 10-point, five-rebound, four-assist game in a victory at St. Joseph's.
Walker missed the team scrimmage Friday, but he expects to be healthy enough to play soon and show fans his potential. A year ago, he created a buzz after averaging 10 points and 10 rebounds a game during the Gophers' summer trip to Canada.
"I feel like I'm really close (to returning) because I've been working hard this offseason," he said. "I'm trying to build strength in my knee right now and all throughout my leg. I also have been working on being more observant. When I was sitting out, I watched my teammates and our competition seeing stuff we could do and I could do differently."
When he joined the Gophers last season, Walker weighed around 330 pounds and had major stamina issues. He said he feels comfortable at 295 pounds right now. But ideally Walker hopes to lose another 15-20 pounds to be more mobile.
"If the pounds do come off more that's great because I'm living a different lifestyle," Walker said. "I'm eating right. I took out a lot of junk food and fast food from my diet. I'm eating more salads and eating at better times of the day."
– Walker compared his game to senior forward/center Ralph Sampson III because he likes to face the basket and also shoot and make passes from the perimeter. But Walker still considers himself a center because he can play with his back to the basket and use his wide frame to rebound and be a physical inside presence. I think Walker could be a better starting option than Sampson in some games. But Walker said he isn't competing for a starting role.
"I don't really expect to start or be an all-star," Walker said. "I'm just here to help the team any way I can. Whatever the coach needs me to do, I'll do."
– The Miami State Attorney's Office said the prosecution in Trevor Mbakwe's assault case is keeping an eye on what happens with the senior forward's restraining order case in Minnesota. Mbakwe's local attorney is still waiting to hear whether there will be a trial this week at Ramsey County courthouse in St. Paul. Mbakwe allegedly violated a restraining order by contacting his ex-girlfriend on Facebook in January. That incident caused him to be removed from the pre-trial intervention program he joined last year to get his Miami case dropped. But Mbakwe's status remains the same, according to the Gophers.
Lots of dunks, little surprise in Gophers' team scrimmage

Even if you didn't catch the Gophers' All-Star Friday Night scrimmage yesterday at Williams Arena, it still wouldn't be hard to guess what happened.
The three most athletic players on Minnesota's squad — Trevor Mbakwe, Rodney Williams and Joe Coleman — had a lot of dunks. Mbakwe, who finished with 15 points, including five dunks, was the best player on the court by far. He led the Maroon to a 33-27 victory against the Gold. Coleman and Williams also combined for 19 points for the Gold, which included six dunks.
Mbakwe, Williams and Coleman are as athletic as any players in the Big Ten at their positions. I would add Andre Hollins to that group as well. He's as fast and springy as any point guard in the conference. How Gophers coach Tubby Smith can use that to his advantage this season will be a big key to the team's success.
Mbakwe 's spin move and emphatic one-hand throw down while being fouled by Ralph Sampson III was one of the highlights of the night. It was one of three three-point plays he converted. If he hits his free throws this season, Mbakwe could average 18-20 points a game. His mid-court steal and transition dunk in the first half also showed why coaches are saying he improved as a defensive player this summer.
Mbakwe looked like a player that had been competing at a high level this offseason at a couple prestigious camps and with Team USA. Sampson said he matched up against some NBA players while working out in Chicago all summer, but he could have fooled me Friday. I'm not sure if he was just backing down to Mbakwe because it was just a scrimmage or if he just got plain bullied. It probably is the latter. Mbakwe's dominance inside was also due to the fact that Sampson was the only other true post player in the scrimmage. Mo Walker (knee), Elliott Eliason (ankle) and Andre Ingram (hip) were all sidelined with injuries.
– Walker and Eliason aren't expected to be out too much longer. But how healthy will they be to start the season? Their ability to provide the Gophers with frontcourt production off the bench will be critical to Mbakwe and Sampson staying out of foul trouble and having enough energy to finish games strong. Smith nearly had a heart attack when Walker dunked the ball in warm-ups. But that was a sign the hefty Canadian has his legs back. Ingram also dunked the ball a couple times in warm-ups, so he's not too limited.
– Coleman's commitment to playing aggressive defense should be encouraging for Gophers fans. There's no question the former Hopkins star can score. He had 52 points in a summer league game against his older brother and former Gophers player, Dan. But his athleticism and powerful 6-4, 210-pound frame makes him an ideal defensive stopper in Smith's system. If Williams does not show much improvement to begin the season, I could see Coleman becoming a starting wing. He's a better ball handler than he showed in high school but he still isn't skilled enough to play shooting guard — yet.
– All the talk about Andre Hollins and Julian Welch competing for the starting point guard spot seems to have let a fire under Maverick Ahanmisi on Friday. The sophomore was the second best scorer in the scrimmage with 14 points, including four three-pointers. Ahanmisi looked more like shooting guard than a floor leader. But he was playing with a lot of confidence. His best highlight was when he stepped back and nailed a three-pointer after stealing an inbounds pass.
– It's hard to judge performances from one game let alone a shortened scrimmage. So I won't overreact to Sampson, Welch and Austin Hollins going scoreless. Welch was trying as hard as he could to be unselfish and get his teammates involved. He didn't even look for his shot, which was interesting since he averaged 19 points a game in junior college. Sampson and Austin Hollins missed a few point blank shots, but I will wait to make a call on whether they've improved or not.
– Overall, I liked the athleticism I saw from the team. I think the Gophers will be hard to beat in the nonconference season if they turn up the full-court pressure, create turnovers and get transition baskets. But shooting is still a huge concern. With no Blake Hoffarber this season, Smith does not have a legitimate three-point shooting threat. Ahanmisi might be a reliable option. But he doesn't have much size. At 6-7, Oto Osenieks can help fill that void but he needs to look for his shot more. Andre Hollins, Austin Hollins and Julian Welch did not shoot three-pointers in the scrimmage but they will need to sink shots from beyond the arc to keep defenses from packing it down on Mbakwe and Sampson in the paint.
– Sampson did win the three-point shootout against Andre Hollins. He even hit about four or five three-pointers in a row at one point. I can see the 6-11 senior stepping out and stretching the defense like former Illinois center Mike Tisdale did during his senior season (shot 40 percent from three-point range). But it can't be a good thing if Sampson is the best outside shooting threat.
– Coleman probably should have finished second in the dunk contest. But Williams used up his best dunk in the opening round when he jumped over two students dressed in pig and chicken suits to slam the ball. As in many cases in dunk contests now, the most spectacular contestant does not always win, especially if he tries doing difficult dunks. Coleman was steady and dunked with power to win it. His best dunk was after catching the ball off the bounce and doing near 360-degree spin. Mbakwe also had a nice jam catching an alley-oop pass off the shot clock. It's too bad Mbakwe decided not to jump over a motorcycle again, which won it for him last year.
– It was good to see Smith relaxed and having some fun during the team introductions by dressing in a robe and wearing boxing gloves. After having prostate cancer surgery in April, Smith said he has a much more calm approach to coaching. That could help him get better results from his players because they really didn't respond to being constantly ripped last season.
– Scrimmage scoring totals were as follows: Mbakwe 15, Ahanmisi 14, Osenieks 4, Welch 0, Austin Hollins 0, Chris Halvorsen 0 (Maroon team); Coleman 10, Williams 9, Andre Hollins 5, Chip Armelin 3, Sampson 0, Kendal Shell 0 (Gold team).
Here's the dunk from Williams that should have won the dunk contest
Kill on season-ending injury to Nebraska star Crick

Gophers football coach Jerry Kill was watching the Nebraska-Ohio State game last week with his offensive coordinator, Matt Limegrover, when he noticed the Huskers' star defensive lineman, Jared Crick. leave the game with an injury.
When Crick did not return, Kill wondered if the 6-foot-4, 285-pound senior would be out in the next game. The Gophers will host Nebraska for homecoming after a bye week Oct. 22.
The Huskers announced Wednesday that Crick was out for the season with a torn pectoral muscle. After hearing that, Kill said he was surprised that Crick played with that injury against Wisconsin and Ohio State.
"But that tells you the kid has to have a lot of guts," Kill said, "because that's a major injury. He's a tough sucker for even trying to play. He's certainly a good football player. But they've got a lot of them. I'm sure they'll have somebody step in. But he's a heck of a football player. But to be honest with you, with something like that, I feel bad for him. That's an injury that takes awhile."
Kill said one of his former players, Northern Illinois defensive end Larry English, suffered the same injury. English, now a San Diego Chargers linebacker, did it in spring drills at NIU in 2008. But he recovered to earn Mid-American Conference defensive player of the year honors as a senior.
– Junior wide receiver Malcolm Moulton is looking forward to playing against some of his former junior-college teammates now with Nebraska . Moulton played at Fort Scott Community College (Kan.) with Huskers senior linebacker Lavonte David, senior offensive lineman Jemarcus Hardrick, sophomore cornerback Stanley Jean-Baptiste and senior wide receiver Brandon Kinnie. David is an All-Big Ten candidate. Hardrick and Kinnie are starters.
"It's going to be nice to see those guys again," Moulton said.
Nebraska offered Moulton a scholarship. But he chose to play for Minnesota because it gave him an opportunity for immediate playing time. The Florida native ranks second on the team in catches (13) and receiving yards (170) this season.
Will Hollins and Coleman be Tubby's best freshmen so far?

Could Andre Hollins and Joe Coleman be the two best freshmen the Gophers have had under coach Tubby Smith?
Smith thinks so.
Talking with him this fall, I learned how high Smith's expectations are for the top two recruits in Minnesota's 2011 recruiting class. Hollins could be the team's starting point guard. Coleman could push Rodney Williams and Austin Hollins for playing time on the wing.
"With the ball in his hand he's fast," Smith said about Hollins. "But I tell you what else, he can stop on a dime and go to his left or right and pull up for a jump shot. Then you have a guy like Joe who is aggressive. He's physical. He attacks the rim. I mean he's fearless going to the basket and that's something we haven't really had."
The last player who Smith thought was a legitimate threat driving to the basket was Lawrence Westbrook. Devoe Joseph was the closest to that.
"That's what we were missing last year when Devoe left," he said. " Blake (Hoffarber) wasn't that guy. Rodney wasn't that guy. Chip (Armelin) and Austin (Hollins) could do that but they didn't have the strength yet."
The 2011 class, which includes junior college transfers Julian Welch and Andre Ingram, is not among the nation's best. But Hollins, a guard from Tennessee, and Coleman, a former Hopkins standout, were both top 100 players.
Smith's best recruiting class at Minnesota was in 2008, ranking in the top 20 nationally. Joseph, Ralph Sampson III and Colton Iverson were part of that freshmen class. Joseph, Sampson and Iverson started several games and had special moments, but they were inconsistent. Iverson and Joseph transferred. But Sampson has one more season to prove he can be one of the top players in the Big Ten.
In 2009, the Gophers brought in freshmen Royce White, Williams and Justin Cobbs. But White, now at Iowa State, never played a game after dealing with legal issues. Cobbs transferred after a disappointing freshman season. And Williams has far from lived up to his potential.
The 2010 recruiting class, which included six freshmen, was probably Smith's weakest. There were no top 100 players. Mo Walker and Austin Hollins were the most highly rated players, but they were not ready to push for starting spots. Walker showed potential, but he suffered a knee injury before the Big Ten season. Smith said Walker was limited in September but he was able to run. There is a chance he might not participate in the scrimmage Friday.
Austin Hollins, Walker and Armelin have some time to prove that the 2010 class is the best. But Coleman and Hollins have a chance to make an even bigger impact in their first season with the Gophers.
– Everybody wants to know about who will start at point guard going into the season. I've heard Andre Hollins is the frontrunner, especially since he's been with the team since the summer. But Smith said both players would compete for the job in practice.
"The cream will rise to the top," he said. "The best guy will be the guy that will be playing."
Kill says U president Kaler believes in his vision

Gophers coach Jerry Kill assured fans listening to his radio show Thursday that his vision for the future of the football program was supported by University of Minnesota President Eric Kaler.
After a 1-4 start and 58-0 Big Ten-opening loss at Michigan last week, the Gophers are trying to win their first conference game under Kill on Saturday against Purdue in West Lafayette, Ind. But if the struggling continues this week, Kill asked for patience.
"I've had a chance to visit with him and I know what our vision is going to be," Kill said. "I know where we're going and I know what we're going to do. I know we're all going to work together and we're going to get it done. It just takes time."
Along with Kaler, Minnesota's first-year coach said he's told athletics director Joel Maturi and recruits in the last few weeks that the Gophers were making small improvements as a program — even if it was not apparent in wins and losses. Kill might not be as public with his comments about winning a Big Ten championship, but he said settling for what Minnesota has accomplished in the past would be a failure.
"I don't want to just say we have to kind of get in in the middle and all that stuff," Kill said. "I don't want to be there. I don't want to cheat the state of Minnesota. We have to do better than that. I've said that all along. I keep pushing that. There's no question in my mind that president Kaler believes that. We're going to work through this. We don't publicly talk about it. But we know where we're at."
Gophers' most talented freshman will redshirt this year, Kill says

As much as the Gophers feel like they're forced to play freshmen this season because of depth, talent and injury problems, there's one young player coach Jerry Kill is making sure to redshirt.
That's true freshman defensive end Theiren Cockran from Florida.
And it's not because Minnesota's coaches think the kid needs the most work. The 6-foot-6 Cockran might need to put on 25-30 more pounds but he already has the most potential of any freshman on the roster, Kill said Wednesday.
"He's going to be a hell of a player; I can tell you that right now," Kill said. "He's a tall, good-looking kid. He's 220 pounds. We can get him to 240. But he can run a back down on the backside deal like that (Kill slapped his hands together). He has some specialness to him."
The last true freshman Kill raved that much about was former Southern Illinois quarterback Joel Sambursky. Kill wanted to play him right away during a 1-10 season in 2001. But defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys convinced him to redshirt Sambursky, Kill said. That turned out to be one of the best decisions they made because Sambursky eventually led the Salukis to 29 wins and three straight Gateway Conference titles from his sophomore to senior season.
"This kid (Cockran) has got a different deal to him," Kill said. "So we need to do everything we can not to have to play him right now. And we're deep enough at this point not to have to do that."
Cockran is not only tall and long, he was clocked under 4.6 seconds in the 40 and boasts a 36-inch vertical. But the only BCS school offers he received were from Minnesota and Purdue, according to Rivals.com. That's because Cockran looked more like a basketball player weighing around 200 pounds as a senior.
The Gophers probably would have played Cockran in the first five games but defensive end is their deepest position on defense. Redshirt freshman Ben Perry and true freshman Michael Amaefula (leads the defensive ends with eight tackles and one sack) start. Sophomores Matt Garin and Kendall Gregory-McGhee and junior D.L. Wilhite are backups but have all started before. Wilhite fell to No. 2 on the depth chart for a couple weeks behind Amaefula but he started against Michigan.
– Quarterback MarQueis Gray moved around Wednesday and has more of a chance to play this week than he did against Michigan. But Kill said Gray would be tested more Thursday to see if he could possibly be ready to play against Purdue. "A lot of it has to do with his mental frame of mind and where he's at," Kill said. "So we'll talk (Thursday) morning and see how he feels about things. I talked to him and I think he wants to. But we'll do what's in the best interest for him and the team."
– Kill said he hopes redshirt freshman running back Donnell Kirkwood (hamstring) is healthy enough to carry the ball more than he did last week against Michigan. The Gophers really need his physical rushing style because senior Duane Bennett and freshman David Cobb are more big-play backs. Kill said the concern with playing Kirkwood and Cobb is their inability to pass protect consistently.
– Senior receiver Da'Jon McKnight had to sit out Wednesday's team drills to rest his knee. But McKnight said he would practice Thursday and be ready for the Purdue game. "I should be fine," he said. McKnight left the Michigan game after landing awkwardly on his knee in the second half, but he returned.

He's been on it only once or twice, but Sean Avery is already singing the praises of the U.S. 231 bypass.
In his opinion, it makes driving through West Lafayette a much smoother experience, and allows those with no business on the Purdue University campus to sidestep it completely.
"Now if they could only find a way for it to drive people away from Chauncey (Plaza) so I can get food from Five Guys quicker," joked Avery. "That would be awesome." ...

Black, Daniel Peter (2003) Search in weighted constraint satisfaction problems. PhD thesis, University of Leeds.
black.pdf Download (1298Kb) |
A wide variety of real-world optimisation problems can be modelled as Weighted Constraint Satisfaction Problems (WCSPs). Such problems are NP-hard and require an exponential amount of time to find the optimal solution. This thesis concentrates on the University Examination Timetabling Problem. A general abstraction of this problem has been used, as there are many institution-specific rules which could be incorporated into the problem. The use of this problem type allows WCSPs to be investigated using realistic problem data and allows a comparison with previously published results for the problem instances used. We have examined some existing variable ordering heuristics and defined new ones. An analysis methodology has been defined that allows the characteristics of good solutions to be identified. Different methods of identifying difficult to solve sub-problems and the use of such methods in variable ordering has been investigated. Incorporating the weight, or preference, associated with constraints into variable ordering heuristics has been found to be beneficial to finding solutions of low cost. The analysis methodology has been used to examine the relationship between solutions of different quality and the knowledge derived has been used to define, and justify, two new variable ordering heuristics. The usefulness of different value ordering heuristics has been examined. Value selection on the error incurred with past assignments and the use of look-ahead have been investigated. Variable ordering heuristics have been extended to try and exploit the advantages of such value ordering heuristics. The use of stochasticity with such orderings has been investigated and has led to a new class of hybrid value ordering heuristics being defined. Finally two hybrid search algorithms have been defined that attempt to concentrate search upon the sections of the problem instance which have the largest effect upon the overall quality of solutions found. Such methods are shown to be at least competitive with standard tree based search techniques.

We have two of these shirts and would love more.....the quality is amazing. I do have a problem with a couple of other shirts I have purchased. The golf shirts keep getting holes right below where the buttons are...and I feel for the price I pay this should not happen. I also just got a long sleeve shirt and around the collar it is balling up. I am very disappointed! I purchase a lot of Tommy and for the price you would think the shirts would not have these flaws.

The Pearl of Death is a 1944 Sherlock Holmes film starring Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson, the ninth of fourteen such films the pair made. The story is loosely based on Conan Doyle's short story "The Adventure of the Six Napoleons" but features some additions, such as Evelyn Ankers as an accomplice of the villain, played by Miles Mander, and Rondo Hatton as a brutal killer.
Master criminal Giles Conover (Miles Mander) steals the famous "Borgia Pearl" from the Royal Regent Museum under the very nose of Holmes and Watson, but when caught the pearl is not found on him and he is released.
Later, Holmes hears of an apparently motiveless murder. An elderly Colonel is found with his back broken amid a pile of smashed china. Holmes takes an immediate interest in the case as the unusual method of killing is that of "The Hoxton Creeper" (Rondo Hatton), known to be Conover's right-hand man.
Another murder occurs, of a little old lady, also surrounded by smashed china. Conover makes two attempts to kill Holmes, who surmises that Conover is desperately trying to recover the stolen pearl.
After a third killing Holmes finds the common feature of each: a bust of Napoleon. Conover, when being pursued by the police, had fled through the workshop where they were being made, and hid the pearl inside one of six identical busts.
Holmes tracks down the vendor of the busts and find out that one is still unaccounted for, as does Conover's accomplice Naomi. Conover and The Creeper arrive at the house of the owner of the final bust, only to find that Holmes has taken his place. Overpowered, Holmes convinces The Creeper that Conover will double-cross him, and the Creeper turns on Conover and kills him, after which Holmes kills the Creeper, before the police finally arrive. Holmes smashes the final bust and recovers the pearl "with the blood of five more victims on it".[1]
Holmes is shown as unusually (for him) impatient with Lestrade's inclination to come to the wrong conclusions in this entry, even shouting at him because of his inability to grasp the situation on a couple of occasions. For his part, Lestrade is shown taunting Holmes and obviously enjoying it.

Reasonable price and good location about 1/2 mile from the French Quarter. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Morning breakfast was really good. Menu included eggs (you can add cheese and ham), sausages, waffles, biscuits and gravy and orange, apple juice and milk. Fresh fruit and yogurt was also available. We did not eat at the evening "happy hour", although it appeared appetizing. Parking is extra, approx $28 dollars per night. I understand all of the hotels in the area charge this so expect to pay to park regardless of where you stay..
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

At Drury, "hot" means scrambled eggs, biscuits & gravy, sausage and make-your-own Belgian waffles. In the evening, join us at our 5:30 Kickback® for free hot food and cold beverages.

From reluctant participant to savvy Miss New Hampshire
Samantha Russo, 22, of Nashua, reacts after being crowned the new Miss New Hampshire by outgoing titleholder Megan Lyman. (APRIL GUILMET) |
During her reign, Russo said she has spent a lot of time helping others as she prepares for the Miss America pageant.
"I chose my platform because I've watched members of my family struggle with their tobacco addiction my entire life," Russo said. "I want to do everything in my power to educate our youth on the dangers of tobacco and how tobacco companies target them to become new users. Tobacco-related diseases are the number one cause of preventable deaths in New Hampshire, the United States, and the world."
During the two weeks, and especially during the competition itself, Russo said she is excited to have the support of her friends and family.

Where I stayed
Caught up to a storm front in Nevada around sunset, when thunderstorms are at their most powerful. As we drove past, under the rain-free base, just to the Southeast of the storm, a massive downburst developed with powerful straight-line winds and threatening-looking clouds. I pushed the Mazda past 110 on a straight stretch of freeway, trying to get ahead of the storm as the first few golfball-sized hailstones fell around us. Got past it just before it crossed the freeway. Didn't need a broken windshield and dented up car a few hours after fixing the oil leak.
Once we were past it, it put on a spectacular lightning show and gave us a chance to stop for some dramatic photographs.

'No holes' construction gives pleated shades more privacy and light control
Oct 3 2011
The light control and privacy offered by no-holes pleated shades is particularly good for bedrooms.
"Each lift cord runs through and extended tab on the back of pleat of the shades," according to the company's website. "This creates a pleated shade without any visible holes through the shades for added privacy and light blockage."
The light-filtering version of Blinds Chalet's pleated shades have a 3 percent openness factor to allow light to filter gently into a room. Room darkening versions block more light and provide additional privacy than standard pleated shades. Both are affordable as well as stylish.
Because of the unique construction of pleated shades, consumers will notice that the front of the blinds are thicker than the back when the shade is compressed. A slight tilt at the bottom rail occurs when the shades are lifted, but that doesn't hamper its operation at all or cause an unsightly appearance.
Both light-filtering and room-darkening pleated shades are available in a range of neutral colors as well as harvest gold, burgundy, gray and a softened green called mezzo.

I got a little sneaky view of some plans this weekend, and wow. Josh Thoma and partner Kevin Fitzgerald have already begun construction on the space that will be Smack Shack . . . bricks and mortar style. The full-service restaurant and bar will open on 6th & Washington Avenues in the North Loop in a long vacant warehouse that's being totally renovated. They are building out everything which means a dream kitchen for Thoma who has been cooking out of a truck and the Nordeast's 1029 Bar. Imagine all the shiny new space! The plans include a 115-seat dining area with an additional 40 in a mezzanine. There's also room for a full bar, a raw bar, and a patio in the loading dock area. They plan to use the building's old garage-style lift doors to open the place up, and much of the exposed brick, big beams, and historic industrial touches will be maintained. All the more room for larger lobster boils. Fear not, this does not mean the end of your lunch time food trucking tradition, both the truck and the 1029 will continue to serve Smack Shack vittles, including lobster rolls, po' boys, and lobster mac & cheese. The new restaurant, however, will obviously have an expanded menu and more offerings. Will this be the new generation of seafood house we've been craving? With an opening planned for later this summer, we can only dream about the new traditions that might sprout up . . . a little pre-Twins lobster boil anyone?

We did part-time EC with DS from birth - part-time meaning he wasn't naked a whole lot until he was about a year and he slept in diapers, but otherwise we were very quick to change him as soon as he went, cue him when we could, offer him the potty a lot, etc. Now that DD is here, we intend to be a little more proactive in terms of naked time, nighttime, etc. simply because there's no chance of peeing herself in the face...LOL. Seriously, that's the main reason DS slept in diapers. =)
She's not even a week old yet, but I don't like her sitting in pee/poop at all (I think that would be true even if we weren't doing EC...). However, she's had really, really runny poops and diarrhea because I have a milk oversupply - we ran into the same thing with DS, but it's a lot worse this time around, so she's getting nothing but foremilk until my supply can regulate a bit/I can pump and shake it up. I know what it is and she's gaining and we're working through it, so I'm not too concerned about her health, but I don't like her sitting in her stuff...but she poops CONSTANTLY and usually right after she's fallen asleep. What do you think? Do I change her immediately and wake her up, hoping she'll fall back asleep (but that usually means nursing again a little, which means more poop as soon as she's out, which means a vicious cycle...), or do I just let her sleep in it for 2 or even 3 hrs until the next feed/she naturally wakes? It's barely an EC question, more a diapering question, but EC adds an extra layer of being torn about what to do...

So yeah, I second the above advice with the bonus, slip a potty under her while nursing and cue her. But don't worry too much, soon she will pop off when she wants to poop.
