Re: Minnesota Golden Gopher Season 2018-2019: Fire Motzko
I can imagine he was a bullet point in EPs game plan vs Blaine in the state tourney. Just checking, he did ok overall in the HS playoffs @ 2.8 pts/game.
If he can get to 30-40 points that's "potential" Big Ten Rookie of the Year following Sammy last season. He'll most likely face some heavy competition though against a player like Cole Caufield. If Caufield wins it I think he's one and done for the BADgers and off to Montreal, which is in a rebuild mode and has a young team next season.
The last time the Gophers had two Mr. Hockey's as a freshman/soph. tandem in the same season was Bjugstad and Rau in 2011-12 and they both hit 40+ pts. I can't imagine Motzko will break up the BMW. Ranta/Brodzinski/McManus could be a game changer if they click.
