I like Asuma, Reynolds, Durkin and Tyson if they go small and Johnson. If they need more size they go with either Durkin or Tyson and Vaihola. Of course not having seen most of them play it's like playing darts blind folded. In any case lots of substitutions.
Top 175 committed in the transfer portal. Minnesota has two Tyson and Durkin.

What happens to the NIL collectives. The more I read it seems the value of the collectives are going to be greatly diminished. Something like 70% of current NIL packages will be disallowed.
I'm guessing not, down the line if say a womans basketball team is earning a much higher piece of total revenue than they recieve in payouts there will be lawsuits.
Shouldn't this be the start to trimming some of the non revenue sports. I just don't get the idea of doing some of the financial games to continue funding programs while going in debt. 20 million or whatever it is gone from your budget is going to be tough to absorb.
I was surprised by Grove's athleticism in the minor minutes he got in the preseason games last year. He's got good size and looked like he belongs in the B1G based on that. I have no idea on his basketball skills but he is one guy that I hope sticks around. I doubt Reader ever plays meaningful...
On one of his first teams he refused to play Paul Carter because of a few defensive deficiencies, not terrible but didn't meet his standards even though the offensive flow was night and day better when he was on the court. He just valued defense more.
NBA drafts on potential, maybe the Duke freshman were a little further along in their development than the Rutgers freshman. In three years it won't matter anyhow, where they go from here will be what's important.
