Here's what I think we know....we have a better coach. After that it's a crap shoot. On paper in June you could find optimism with Ben's roster last year too. And it was anchored by a guy talked about as Big Ten MVP. We don't have that, Purdue finished 5th in the conference...Field of 68 is...

My guess too but in my case...that's it: totally a guess.

Sooo...bigger question...is this the player (Chance Stephens) to be named or is he somebody different who just snuck in between the announcemrnt of the anticipated mystery arrival??

I am thinking we are blessed to have Turner. By next March he may be one of those expensive posts. Hopefully, it happens and hopefully he likes Minnesota.

The rules are moving to 15 scholarships with no walk ons. Many coaches don't want 15 guys who expect playing time on their team. Ben didn't use all 13.

Kinda seems like Jordan Murphy should lead off most anybody's team?

Kentucky's non conference schedule...just a template. I believe the schedule comes first....then you attract better players and then your team gets better. Kentucky above, Michigan St, North Carolina, St Johns, many of the teams who expect to be Sweet 16 teams at seasons end as a minimum...

Niko could probably carve out some minutes for Garcia, but lets just say for speculation it's not him. Some people follow this...who have we been rumored or connected to that hasn't signed with someone else so far? Who is it likely to be when announced officially?

In the interview he said a couple different times that pretty much all players have agents now. My complete guess is it has something to do with the agents wishes.

True or False? PJ Fleck will be coaching his 9th year at Minnesota this season. Where the heck does time go? Does not seem like it is THAT long.

And now in the Rand podcast that Bleed posted...Niko said we have another guy coming....we just can't announce him yet. So wherever the post is that said we had a guy coming...Niko confirmed it....we just don't know who.

NO Worries! We got another recruit coming! Just can't announce it yet. Those were the paraphrased words of Niko. The other interesting reminder...these guys all start practicing in a month.

Evidently, Musselman is not only good at attracting players but also donors. I agree with you historically, but Jeff Goodman and his podcast partner agree they got money now. They were worried about the mix of players signed and therefore the money drying up if the results don't follow.

I got a theory...the longer we wait the less chance we have to get an impact player out of the portal. In May according to 247 a total 84 players have signed. 7 days in that is an average of 12 guys per day. Doesn't seem like a big number but in a week it gets close to 100 guys. I wonder if...

I'm sure there have been some games but the Gophers generally didn't play this far below their abilities especially with everything set up to their advantage. Playing at home, 6 days to rest and prepare, while GS is rushed into town on one day of rest after a hard fought 7 game series. Very...
