Spencer Tollackson recently signed a contract with the Digibu Baskets Paderborn professional club in Paderborn, Germany, according to Gophers officials. Tollackson, who averaged 7.9 points and 3.7 rebounds during his career with the Gophers, was considering a return to baseball after his college basketball career ended in March but will instead suit up with a team that plays in the top division of the Bundesliga league.

Watchout-

Gopher hole is laughable, but I get your point. It would be nice the star tribune would value Gopher sports, as I’ve said before this is why I don’t buy this paper in print. If they don’t get someone on Gopher football ASAP, I’ll be done on the net as well.
