Larry Fitzgerald Jr., the Minneapolis native and All-Pro wide receiver, has been traveling in China including a visit to the Great Wall (see photo).

Bloomington native and Kansas center Cole Aldrich was recognized earlier this week as the NCAA Academic Basketball All-American of the Year.  https://www2.kusports.com/news/2010/feb/24/kansas-aldrich-joins-elite-company/

Redshirt freshman Moses Alipate, the 6-5, 230 pound Gophers third string quarterback, will remain at that position in spring practice, coach Tim Brewster told Sports Headliners.  With Alipate’s size and athleticism he could likely play another position but Brewster’s plan is to develop long term depth and talent at quarterback.

Dave Dose (Glencoe-Silver Lake), Dennis Hale (Worthington) and Jim Reinhardt (Rushford-Peterson), all representing the high school division, along with Jim Dotseth from the citation division, will be inductees into the Minnesota High School Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame at a banquet on Saturday, March 27 at the Doubletree Hotel in St. Louis Park. The citation division recognizes contributions both off and on the football field.  Tickets can be purchased online at https://www.mshsca.org/Football/.

Gophers freshman defenseman Nick Leddy has eight points in the last 12 games after scoring one point in his first 11 games.  He missed nine games earlier this season because of a broken jaw.  Leddy was named the WCHA Rookie of the Week for his play against Colorado College last weekend that included two points and a goal on Saturday in a 7-4 Gophers win.

The Wild could boost its reputation for including former Gophers on the roster by signing New Jersey Devils defenseman Paul Martin who after this season will be an unrestricted free agent.  Martin reportedly earns at least $4 million on his current salary.

Student-athletes, parents, coaches and counselors are welcome to attend the Sports Family Forum on March 2 and 9 at the Colin Powell Center in south Minneapolis.  Sponsored by the Lewis Sports Foundation, the two sessions will address such subjects as recruiting strategies, academic requirements and NCAA rules.  More information, including cost, is available by calling 952-886-3399.
