I was wondering how we kept Hawkins. 3 or 4 times in here I asked "Is Coyle doing something behind the scenes we don't know about? How did we keep Hawkins? He's worth $500K."
Remember those?
Within the very first minute...Warrior says, LOUDLY, that guys who watch others do sports are completely pathetic...and are several other derogatory things...and he says he hates to be around guys like that.
Just throwing ideas out.
How about raising $100K to hire a private investigator to trail the teams who buy our players.
Keep an eye on them.
Make sure the local bars are safe, etc.
Well yeah.
But I don't trust a plan that starts out from a false premise. That we need to clean house...reset everything with a new wonderful coach...and then start telling big-wigs that they should buy some new players.
Stupid.
Garcia: 17.6 pts, 6.7 reb, 80% ft
Christie: NBA prospect as a freshman
Hawkins: 2nd most assists per game in the nation
Payne: Athletic C...big potential, worth $500K on this open market
Mitchell Jr: 1st year in B1G...led team in scoring in a few games
Why do we need to start over??
So win first...and then the money will flow in? Hire an exciting Dusty May type...and then big bosses will come out of the woodwork with money for Gopher men's basketball?
Or a Senior Circuit. Like golf.
With the requirement being a degree from and all of the courses done at said college.
55+ league. So we can start with Burton, Coffey, Newbern, Lynch, Shik, Bond....and beat everyone.
How about gather Jordan Murphy, Daniel Oturu, Royce White, Marcus Carr, Jamison Battle, Nate Mason...just off the top of my head...to form a Gophers Alumni team.
A barnstorming team. To challenge other states.
