This is pretty good. You have the two tournaments which will produce some solid opponents, then the game in Sioux Falls and now the Cincy games. It's not MSUs schedule yet but this is a serious upgrade. Then add that we are playing a game against Creighton and I feel this team will be ready for...

Is this a real game format or a secret scrimmage?

Nicely done piece!

very well

You responded to common sense with race baiting. Good grief- he is exactly right. Present a quality education, without woke politics, to the best students you can get. It is pure bigotry for you to say those students have to be white. Brown people are plenty smart. Let us all compete...

I trust this coach. This is not Pitino or Johnson. Wilson may well get an offer from us, but you can bet that if he does Niko has gotten familiar enough with him that he considers him a good fit for the team in terms of skill, character and system fit.

Grady hasn't been written off by me, I can't wait to see him play! My point on Kordel is that is it sounds like he is good enough where he has turned heads in practice with the other players and has a chance to be perhaps an 8 pt 8 board guy. If he does that at 7-2, he will be one of the tougher...

You left out Mpoyi. He will play. Kordel is going to cost a bundle to keep next year so it will be tough to keep him. Mpoyi will be a good one and he has to be ready next year and he may be ready this year. Grove is smart, a hustler and easy to like but he's a 4 in the Big10 and he needs to...

I am starting to drink the Kool Aide from these practice reports. Pioneer Press out with a solid article on what is going on: Kordell- a difference maker Nolen Anderson -looking good in practice With those two out, true freshman Nolen Anderson (Wayzata) has been impressive and might crack the...

We also have a lot of good shooters

So huge to have a couple of big options to defend with and create lob plays and pick and rolls on offense! In one of the clips that is exactly the stuff they were working with Mpoyi.

Ryan James offers some good public content, nice videos of practice today. Hard to tell much but I really liked the clips of Mpoyi - he moves well, is built well and appears to be athletic.

Yeah, scheduling takes a little different look when you KNOW your squad is a likely high seed in the NCAAs. I hope we get there at some point.

Niko was forced to play slow this past year, because of the roster (#364 in true tempo). While he will likely never be a run and gun guy, I expect we will play faster this year- which attracts better players. Wisconsin, as plodding as they historically has been, have been scoring at a pretty...

This creates an interesting dilemma for HS recruiting this fall. You sort of have to assume that 3 guys will leave for some reason or another, but you don't know which ones... So for now, we have to be looking at sure fire frosh recruits only.
