We need the next Joe Esposito. He was DBO for Tubby and was a magician at building the non-con schedule. Still had a lot of buy games, but most of the teams finished at or near the top of their conferences, and ended up being SOS positives.
I’ll be surprised if we’re not in the top half.
I’d like to be dancing at the end of the season. The top 4 and bottom 4 may separate out from the pack, but the 10 in the middle are a toss up.
I would have hoped for another athletic big (6’9” guy that plays above the rim), but encouraged by the new guys. Grady’s foot history aside, I’m hopeful we’ll have a healthy team this year. Last year we had 2 guys that never played (Omot only had a few minutes in exhibition) and 3 guys that...
The Vikings just spent a first round draft pick on Caleb Banks. He of the 3-time broken foot. But he has a note from his doctor saying he’s good to go, so nothing to worry about. It’s not like a 6’6” 330 lb guy will put much stress on his foot, right? 🙄
Bad feet worry me.
Five years of foot injury but he still managed to become a 4-star, top 100 recruit?! I trust he’ll be ready to go after a long recuperation.
By the way, should we be concerned about JCJ’s foot injury?
Not sure. All I know is if they start doing that, it ism 1000 times more likely that a team like MN will get punished than a blue blood (like my moniker).
I never would have picked Braeden Smith or Bennet Stirtz to be such dominant PGs. They’re not exceptionally quick, but are so fundamentally sound and have such good handles that they always make the right play. I would think they would be exposed on the defensive end, but Big Ten teams play such...
