I have been feeling the same way (and telling that to my non-Gopher friends as live in Indiana...not exactly Gopher Country), but have also expressed that I trust Niko, and he seems to be bringing in his type of players, and most of them have 2+ years of eligibility, and so 'I'm good'. I check...

This year's portal just reminds me of how inept our in-state recruiting has been recently. We Gopherholers are excited about the luring of Omot, the possibility of getting Johnson-Arigu, the dream of acquiring Holloman and Heide, and the 'chance' that Freitag or Kapke might join the team. ALL...

Sorry to see Jefferson go but am confident we will be OK. In Niko I trust!

Bench #10...Grayson Groves

With respect to our recruits....I am not sure what is best for them or us. Presuming that they are only going to play 2 years at whatever school they choose...as 50% of rosters will be changed out every year....they only have to decide where to spend the next year or two. Where can I shine...

Agree, Slim!!!

I have not. great point

OK....HERE WE GO!!!! McCollum is off the market! We all believe Niko is our #1 and best option (no disagreement from me). Some feel it is a 'done deal' (I don't especially with WV needing a coach)...so we need to consider who we want if we don't/can't get Niko....

I know I have been taking heat for a week or more but....Nico Medved to Minnesota is not a done deal. IF it happens, that would be great!!! IF it doesn't, lets decide upon a Plan B or C. OUR Plan Bs need to be Jacobson, McCollum, Calhoun, and Tauer. For those who hate any of them, .you are...

The next couple of days should very interesting. With McCollum's team advancing to the 2nd round and Medved's team playing today, it is possible that both are still coaching come Monday. It is also possible that their teams are both done by Saturday. My guess is that by Sunday night, both...

With DeVries off the market, the list is down to 8...Jacobsen, Dutcher, Medved, Calhoun, McCollum, Bennett, Tauer, and Joerger. I don't think it will be Joerger and have a suspicion it won't be Dutcher d/t the buyout (even though I think he would be an excellent hire) so we are down to...

I'm not sure but I doubt any of those schools hire him If you wanna bed, I'm in. WE have had 37 coaches mentioned as possibilities...and VA, IN, and IA have a far greater pool than that. There are 40 teams in the NCAA that are not 'Blue Bloods' or perennial NCAA Tournament teams. Every one of...

Both had/have mediocre resumes at best. Both have previous ties to the U as a member of the basketball staff. Both would not have been 'The hire' if not for their Minnesota connections. I think Nico is the hire and I don't 'poo-poo' the hire as he has some history of success. Let's be...

...the top three on that list are likely to have opportunities elsewhere (Indiana and Iowa being #1 and #2) that are better than the Minnesota job so I suspect 2 of them will be 'off the market' by next weekend...and #4 and #5 may have no interest is leaving their current situations (SDSU and...
