    Now is the time. He finally has his coach. Better push all in on Niko.

    I was surprised that Collins didn't play zone on us. That has bothered us more than even a good man to man and the zone seems to take our back cuts away to a degree.

    All Things Niko Medved Twitter Thread

    There is now a story to sell and I believe it will. Kids will sign on and so will some people with money. People with money won't spend it unless they thing there is a chance of success. What Niko is doing with these kids is fantastic.

    Martinelli has taken Reynolds inside and has too much size. Need to switch to JCJ or Tyson on him.

    It's a system you can learn. Both of the previous coaches had a "make a play for yourself" offense. That's tough to fit in when a player has short minutes and it is easy to become tentative as we saw from so many players in the past. Honestly, I think that Medved could have made a player out of...

    The movement in this offense is amazing.

    I am started to get excited about this class. I think the big Mpoyi is going to be a surprise and the two Minny kids look good!

    They might have to play a lot of zone defense in the Big Ten. We just don't have the bodies to play man D in conference.

    Shooter: Gophers efforts to raise money for renovations to The Barn has been temporarily shelved in favor of raising NIL funds.

    To be honest, with the state of the program, I think spending the effort raising NIL is the higher priority at the moment. If they really go for it in a big way and win fairly big under a coach that is finally good enough to do so, the town will be on fire for the Gophers. It will be far easier...

    With the non-conference schedule now complete, the Gophers are…

    The talent is light but the team functions better than I thought it would. I am beyond pleased with the system. If we could get Vaihola back, soon, and avoid other injuries I think we could win 6-8 games and have a great story to tell recruits. That is what this year is about, building...

    I didn't hear it, but I assume he didn't like the effort, which was so so at best. Additionally we settled for 3s in the first half and never broke the zone down. The second half was no clinic either but they were much better at working inside. It was really an attrocious game by the guards...
