    RandBall: U’s Niko Medved says transfer portal recruiting ‘a lot like NBA free agency’

    6’8” centers worked in the 60’s and 70’s, I.e. Wes Unseld. But today, unless they are strong, mobile and shoot well, they will get worked over by Big Ten bigs. Crocker Johnson is really a four who can match up with other fours. Hopefully they don’t have to play him at the five.

    RandBall: U’s Niko Medved says transfer portal recruiting ‘a lot like NBA free agency’

    They have 6’8” and 6’10” transfer bigs. Grove is a forward and who knows if he can contribute this year. That’s not enough in the middle in the Big Ten, where 7 footers roam the paint. But I agree you never have too many shooters.

    I hope the next new player is 6’10” or taller. They need more bigs.

    Which Gophers did you miss on badly - you thought XYZ Gopher would be much better or much worse?

    Ralph Sampson. He was always very passive, and who I thought would develop to be a very good player. Instead he was mediocre.

    They need another big man, but I’ll take another shooter too.

    Now it’s all about the payout. I hope the GOPHERS have some left, though I would prefer a 6’10” or taller guy.

    NIL and the NBA Draft

    Hard to argue the point that more players returning to college makes the college game better.

    I hope you are right. They need another big man 6’10” or taller.

    To compete in the Big Ten the Gophers definitely need another big or two, 6’10” or taller. I’d take this guy!

    Why are so many former top-100 recruits hitting the transfer portal so quickly?

    Schools can now directly pay athletes over the table, not under it. The payments are capped at a maximum of $20.5 million per institution, spreading it out as they choose, with NIL in addition. Because football is what brings in the most revenue that subsidizes other sports, schools that have no...

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    I watched some of Lemke’s HS highlight video. Almost all of it was him shooting threes. Very little was him working inside or playing defense. Whomever put that video together did him no favors. Despite the need to add a couple of bigs, the video left me believing he can’t help this team in 25/26.

    Niko’s roster construction

    What’s the point of posting an online insult of Ryan James, especially attacking his intellect? Seems really unnecessary to me.
