Great post! As I said the other day, I can guarantee you that Medved could be using a kid like Ihnen effectively on this team. He was a guy with ability but no confidence in what he should do. On this team Shinholster and Grove no exactly what they are supposed to do and are effective and...

“Clemens” would have redshirted him as well…😂

Last night was a good test of endurance. Iowa despite not being upper tier athletic, play super hard with a ton of movement (like us) and runs 8-9 guys at you. Last night their bench played 67 minutes to our 31 minutes from the bench.

My thought leaving the Barn was: Some coaches just win. I think we have one. It's going to take time but this is fun to see.

Gophers up to #87 on Evan Miya- we were 120ish a few weeks back. Victories over #21 Iowa, #29 Indiana and #72 NW

I also think that with this system, a lot of the success is due to players knowing where they are supposed to be and who is making what cut. Bringing in a new body at this point, it may be tough to maintain the flow of the system. Nonetheless, I hope he can return and give us some minutes. If he...

I have never seen a coach here do more with this level of talent. He has the guys believing and playing within themselves. What a blast that game was...so fun to send those "let's go Hawks" fans back home with a loss. I love the future of this program!

I haven't seen much from him. Another poster here who has seen him a lot said that he believe Nolan is the real deal and could start next year. So I am riding on that. What concerns you about him? Athleticism? Too skinny, needs time? I think it is time for me to get to one of their games.

He was in the Congo in 2024 so Medved may have gotten him under the radar This! I think that Niko can teach a kid with that size and raw talent to get to the right places on the floor, not try to do too much, just make his cuts and he gets his freebie dunks- then be a decent post defender in...

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.

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.

Wow Grayson Grove! A Dunkathon! He has really become an aggressive player.

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...
