This is Amelia Rayno's second season on the Gophers' basketball beat. She learned college basketball in North Carolina (Go Tar Heels!), where fanhood is not an option. In 2010, she joined the Star Tribune after graduating from Boston's Emerson College, which sadly had no exciting D-I college hoops to latch onto. Amelia has also worked on the sports desk at the Boston Globe and interned at the Detroit News.

The Gophers will have just a single official visit this weekend: JUCO forward Daniel Edozie.
Edozie is heading into his sophomore season at Tyler Junior College (Texas). The 6-8, 239 big man had offers from Iowa State and some mid-majors out of high school, but chose to further develop his game in junior college.
Edozie is from Compton, Calif., originally.
