“A lot of our season-ticket holders go to Lynx games,” Hart said. “We might call out to them to try to recruit people.”
“The Lynx are playing at such a high level,” Plitzuweit said. “They play with great toughness. They play with great togetherness, so it’s good for us.”
The Gophers had film sessions this summer where they watched Lynx game video, especially with All-WNBA forward Napheesa Collier.
“Phee is someone who is impacting the game in so many ways,” Plitzuweit said. “We’ve watched a lot of her clips and how she does basic, fundamental things at an incredibly high level.”
In September 2023, Gophers incoming recruit Kennedy Klick suffered a season-ending right knee injury in fall practice, but she’s making progress toward playing for the first time this year.
