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...

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!

I just don't recall but want to take a stab at 4 of them. I feel confident that Smith was on the roster but not sure that he started. Shasky Gaffney Tim Hanson Kelvin Smith

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.

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...

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...
