I don’t think Ben’s problem was recruiting the high end talent. He did pretty well with that. His issue was recruiting role players that could contribute and then having a plan on how to use those players. I think a lot of learning how to create a culture where winning and everyone playing...
I’m so ready for that. It seems for the majority of almost a decade they start strong and wilt come February. So ready for a team that gets stronger and develops as the season goes on.
Kind of off topic, but the mention of Oturu got me thinking. I would imagine it's really hard not to be a little pissed off about the new NIL stuff for players like Oturu. He most likely would have walked out of college a millionaire and stayed in school with the new rules. That's gotta sting...
Yea, I thought he was going to really do well for the Gophers. He had the tools, nice guy too, I played in a league with him a while back now (maybe 6 or 7 years ago) until the league disbanded. Kenosha/Racine area.
I thought I read on here somewhere (hard to remember which thread) that we could be waiting for the revenue sharing money to be a done deal? Anyone know of a timeline for when that is supposed to happen? It seems like the Big Ten would want to make that happen pretty quickly here so all the...
I agree, I'm not ready to already count this coming season as a lost season just because it's year one. I don't expect them to win the conference, but I don't think it's overly optimistic to think they can be in the top half and on-the-bubble or better. In fact, I'm confident that he will hit...
I was also an undergrad during that time, I seem to remember a fee too, but I think it was a fee designated specifically to go toward building the new football stadium.
I'm looking forward to seeing a team that is prepared to start the season in shape and with a clear understanding of their role in the offense and defense! I feel like the past few seasons the team took a really long time to figure that out, in some cases I felt like there were players that...
I've read about his mega wealthy father in law here on gopher hole. Maybe Medved starts off by flipping his Father in Law and getting his first big gopher booster!
I agree. No matter who the coach or what the year, there will always be things that could have gone differently. With Pitino it was the injuries and the Reggie Lynch suspension. I hope the new guy gets more support, monetarily and morally from the Administration. I also hope the new guy can...
