Injuries were a factor for Michael Bauer’s plateaued performance, too.

I think Max will surprise, and be kept as QB3 over Brett Rypien.

I think Seth Davis is the second worst basketball commentator in the country.

I hate the comparison of players to coaches (for moving or wanting more money), because the player chaos is nothing like the coaching situation. No head coaches are in their 5th school in 5 years. There are few low level assistant coaches that are at more than 2 schools in a 5 year window.

The chaos is pushing me to focus more on D3 teams. Lower level talent, but competitive landscape and true student athletes.

I was kind of hoping for 2 or 3 of the CSU players to follow Niko to MN. Not that we can’t land just as good transfers from elsewhere, but to bring familiarity with program and system. JCJ is the only one that knows what Niko expects and can be the role model for his teammates. Would have been...

Once, for a joke (even if it’s not funny), I can put up with. Keeping it up is too much like the idiot that called Pitino “little Ricky” for his entire time at MN. That was just being a jerk.

C’mon Slim Tubby. I’m already tired of the “Nacho” bit. If you’re trying to be cute or funny: it’s not. If you’re trying to be a dink: I had always thought you were better than that.

Just finished the rest of his highlights. Definitely a “below the rim” player. I can’t remember seeing another big man highlight reel without a single dunk. The good news is he’s broad as a barn. If he pins an opponent deep they can’t get around that backside. He’s got good footwork and finishes...

Looks like DJ Burns from NC State’s Final Four team. Definitely a “softer” 260 lbs than John Thomas! No hops. All position and strength. Looks like a nice passer. Will stamina be an issue?

Beefy. Can probably hold his rebounding position! But can he get off the floor? I see he averages almost 1.5 blocks per game, so he must be able to hop a little. Like that he averaged 2 assists also.

I’d argue that Herschel Walker was the worst. Although the others mentioned were bad, I think both parties knew what they were getting and giving up. I believe Mike Lynn didn’t understand what he would be giving up when he acquired Herschel. While giving up a boatload of valuable roster players...

Geez. This just triggered a massive flashback that included platform shoes and disco music!

Don’t we need 11 for the new roster size of 15?

Better than Washburn-McReavy Funeral Homes!
