    What happened to this board?

    Did Johnson somehow hire himself?

    Can I move on and look back for the lessons to learn, or are they mutually exclusive?

    2023 College Basketball Transfer Portal Watch Thread

    Yeah, some reasons might make the kid’s decision understandable but don’t excuse the failure. Both Brown and Pride were here in the Gophs’ hands, which is a pretty good indicator they were genuinely interested, and consequently pretty solid evidence CBJ/staff couldn’t close. With the Austin Peay...

    Big Ten Basketball: Early grades for each teams 2023 offseason moves (14. Minnesota Golden Gophers – Grade: F)

    It does taint the analysis, doesn’t it? How does he get Smith from Wilson? His is a tired take. I wished all season long that Battle and Cooper were among the Gophers’ best three players.

    The U on Pharrel Payne: He’s just getting started. 📈

    Gopher basketball relevance is imaginary. In the last forty years, discounting for cheating, they have placed as high as fourth in only three one-off seasons. Never above. Expecting any coach to turn that ship around in a couple seasons is a recipe for disappointment.

    The U on Pharrel Payne: He’s just getting started. 📈

    The first class at which CBJ had a full run netted Payne, Carrington (MN Mr. B’ball), Betts (top 90 last year) and Joseph (a surprisingly bright spot last season). The evidence suggests he can recruit high schoolers. His first portal class was weak; his second can easily be better (Mitchell was...

    This roster is not bad IF.......

    Of course, despite your apparent certainty, you don’t actually know whether Mitchell, Christie, & Hawkins(?) will outperform Cooper, Henley, & Samuels, nor whether Fox and/or Ihnen will be healthy, nor whether Battle will be directly replaced. Obviously, you believe not. That is not the same as...
