Ben's not going to fill the roster with 13 B1G players regardless. I'd rather take Williams to sit on the bench for a year over another unknown HS or foreign player.
If Abdoulaye Thiam, Danny Ogele, Charlie Daniels, Kris Keinys, Taurus Samuels, Jack Wilson, and some of the walk on's were worth scholarships over the last 3 years, then this kid is.

If a player is getting several similar offers it will come down to the relationship with the coach, chance to play/compete, school, etc.

The Gophers already have a NIL base and they don't need to hire a big name coach.

I don't have empathy for being the worst basketball program in the B1G right now. I also understand that Minnesota isn't likely to contend for B1G titles regularly, or especially national titles. That's ok with me.
But Minnesota has the resources to...
Yes it is the point. The University of Minnesota is a business. So are college sports attached to the University. Whether you choose to support that business is up to you, just like any other business.

Like most, I'm frustrated with what college sports has become. Change is always hard. But the courts ruled that college athletes should be treated like any other college student or any other working adult.
Why is that such a bad thing?
Alright this is my last response to you because if you're going to continue to post everyday that Coyle is a bigger problem than Ben, then you are clueless. Plus you just continue to make up nonsense to try and support your terrible opinion.
If other sports at the U were having this problem...
