Mortenson Chosen as Construction Manager for new Athletics Facilities!
The University of Minnesota Athletic Department continues to move forward in the process to being the construction on their new Athletics Village this year with the naming of M. A. Mortenson Company as the Construction Manager for the project. Mortenson is no stranger the the U having constructed several academic and medical buildings for the University in the recent years. Mortenson was also the construction manager for TCF Bank Stadium as well. In being selected by the University form a competitive field of proposals, Mortenson will be responsible for planning and executing the construction of four new buildings on the department's existing footprint at the corner of 15th Avenue Southeast and 5th Street Southeast: the Center for Excellence (home to academic, leadership and nutrition centers), the Football Performance Center, the Football Indoor Practice Facility and the Basketball Development Center. According to the University, Work on the contract will begin immediately, with Mortenson joining the University and its architectural team as they work to complete preconstruction work. Mortenson's preconstruction duties include providing expertise on cost, schedule, construction site logistics and best approach to phasing the construction of the four new buildings. When the project reaches a point where construction can begin, Mortenson's role will shift to executing the actual construction of these new facilities. Its another positive step forward in this project that will greatly improve the Gophers athletic facilities.

Minnesota Gophers Basketball: Recruiting Class Moves Into National Top 20
#Bolt: Minnesota has a top 20 class in the #247Sports Composite Team Rankings http://t.co/CHaHQgIsX0 @Gobie247 @Gophers247
— Jerry Meyer (@jerrymeyer247) August 23, 2014
Well, it's still early, and the Gophers still have two scholarships left for the 2015 class, so we'll see how they end up, but isn't it exciting to think of Richard Pitino having four years to mold a top-20 recruiting class? The article also notes that the class is only good for fifth in the Big Ten, but I'm pretty sure we'll take the fifth best recruiting class in the conference any day. I'm not picky!
Golden Nugz - 8/22/14
Happy Friday everyone. One week from today, we'll be trying to recover after the Gophers' first victory of the year!
Quinn Oseland Explains His Choice of Minnesota Over Illinois
"It's a great school, Big Ten School, first of all. And second, just comfortability, I mean, our coaching staff is very familiar with their coaching staff. I hear nothing but good things about them. The comfortability really helped out and made it [Minnesota] the obvious choice." -Quinn Oseland Make sure to check out the video for more quotes!
