His talent ID was very good and a fair few guys he got in on early have turned out to be great players/some NBA guys. Had Ryan Dunn on campus before he went to Virginia, Danny Wolf visited if I remember, obviously Cam Christie was quite the pull, won’t be a popular opinion but Ben might have...

Bigger question will be whether he can sustain after what is looking like it's going to be a rough transition year.

If you’re on a fan forums you’re already someone who follows things closer than the majority of people. If the Gophers get to be competitive again, start getting some votes for the top 25, we’re all going to be back to following any and everything. Winning cures all, I know I wouldn’t care 😅

With the crazy money BYU is throwing around and them having a model that keeps them competitive in the big two sports every year, feel like that would be the better direction to go than UofU.

https://x.com/MikeAsti11/status/1903277713609150466 Besides, if the U loses out on an alum from right down the street to a program in an inferior conference when all the money now is going to the top two, the basketball program is hopeless. Whether this gets done or not will shape whether the U...

“At the end of the day, when you’re winning games, people want to be a part of that,” Coyle said. It begins and ends with that. PJ finished in the top 10 and locals have been lining up ever since. There’s been such an emphasis on bringing someone in who can keep local players home out of the...

I would think this is a reflection of them not having the money to attract the quality of coach they want as much as anything. The reasons for firing him are obvious, that goes without saying. In the long run, change for change's sake doesn't benefit you either, just puts you on the hook for 4-5...

There’s a trend developing here https://awfulannouncing.com/college-basketball/jon-rothstein-doug-gottlieb-another-season-green-bay.html

No matter how you slice it, the importance of having NFL experience on your resume as a coach can’t be understated. I think Winston ends up back in college in some capacity in the not too distant future. Like PJ, his energy and seemingly his motivation to coach sound like someone who is more...

The sport needs villains.

Amir’s having a great season and just had 24 against the champs. It’s crazy how little talk there’s been about him on here. A real bright spot in some pretty dark days for the program while he was here and after.

I'm good on having any skunks coach the Gophers, plenty of fish in the sea. Tauer being a Tommie lifer and building that program up is a better story anyway. Can't afford to roll the dice again with the basketball program.

*Community notes* Last time Bryce Drew was in a power conference, he lost 20 straight games to end his tenure at Vanderbilt. If we were to retread, I'd much rather the U go after the likes of Chris Mack, Will Wade, Archie Miller and so on.

This goes beyond Christie but the Wolves are very likely to add a shooter this offseason that's probably not going to be much of a defender because they can't afford a 3 and D guy. Christie could carve out a career for himself as a specialist shooter/scorer off the bench. You just never know but...

Christie wouldn't have any impact on those guys, have to imagine he'd be viewed as a 1-2 year project so he'd probably spend a good amount of time in the G League the first year or so. NAW is one of my favorite players on the team but they're going to have a decision to make on him after next...
