The Gophers held their fifth practice of the spring on Tuesday and it was the second session open to the media. After working the Big Ten Tournament during the last public practice, this was my first chance to see part of the 2019 squad in action. In this type of setting, it’s hard to learn too much outside of physical or technical changes.
The first takeaway was the physical growth of every player on the roster. After being a young team for the past couple years, this is the first spring practice where Minnesota looks physically developed across position groups.
