    Joshua Ola-Joseph Enters Transfer Portal

    Bummer to see JOJ go, kid is a great athlete. He could be a beast if he drops down in competition a little bit.

    Returning Playas for 2024-25

    So what exactly are you accusing the staff of doing? We have all admitted the situation with JOJ seemed odd but many of us are willing to believe there was a solid reason for why his role shifted as drastically as it did. You seem convinced it was complete malpractice by the coaching...

    Returning Playas for 2024-25

    Up until the end of January he was playing 20+ minutes a game and scoring in double figures most nights. Something or a combination of somethings happened to see his minutes just crater down the stretch and have him go from a key part of the rotation to a bit player. We know he dealt with some...

    2024-25 Big Ten Roster/Free Agency News Only

    Thanks for doing this, still weird getting used to seeing the old Pac 12 schools listed in the Big Ten.

    Neal: Ben Johnson stabilized the Gophers. Next step: Keeping his stars while finding more.

    Not sure you have to wait the full 3 years with basketball since players tend to see the court quicker but you definitely shouldn't evaluate a football recruiting class for at least 3 years if not more. But I agree that for the most part high school rankings are meaningless once you get beyond...

    Returning Playas for 2024-25

    The situation with JOJ was strange but it wasn't really until the final 9-10 games of the year that he saw a drastic reduction in playing time. We know he had a concussion during that time and everyone responds differently to those plus that stretch also coincides with Fox seeing his minutes go...

    Does CBJ ever work the officials?

    Still not sure I really understand how you can be so certain that Johnson's demeanor on the court is hurting us with the refs. There are lots of really successful coaches that don't blow their top during the game. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind seeing Johnson be a bit more demonstrative...

    Payne also needs to learn how to play more under control. He took some really really hard falls and when you are already dealing with a sore back that can't help. Can't question his effort but he has to find a way to not go down so hard as much as he did.

    The 2023-24 Gopher basketball season will be a success if?...

    I don't know that success is the right word for describing this season. It was a definite step in the right direction from where things had been but still fell short of being what most would consider to be a good or successful season. Next year feels like the make or break year for Johnson...

    Hold up....so this isn't a thread about beaches? :) I have done a thread like this on the football side. Would recommend adding an undeclared section with the guys that still need to say for sure and a section for the guys we know won't be back like Wilson.

    Does CBJ ever work the officials?

    So in theory then wouldn't screaming at the ref and carrying on like a moron be counterproductive? Seems to me that would make them more likely to go against your team than for it. Some coaches are hot heads, some aren't. Tough to say how much Johnson does or does not work the refs during the...

    Pretty sure Hawkins is the only guy that has officially said he is coming back. Don't think any of the rest have made their intentions clear yet.

    College Basketball Transfer Portal Thread - 2024

    I'm sure they have a very good idea as to who is staying and who is going but I doubt they are 100% certain on all the players. The good news is that with the season over it would seem likely that we will know very soon who is in fact staying and who is going. The lack of news about contact to...

    College Basketball Transfer Portal Thread - 2024

    My guess in all this is we just get a really small snapshot in regards to who has been contacted and by what schools. Also need to keep in mind that a bunch of teams are still playing so there are going to be a lot more guys that jump into the portal over the next few weeks as teams get...

    Yeah, I wouldn't bank on the 2nd time transfer thing stopping anyone as it seems like it is basically just the wild west at this point and guys can transfer as many times as they want to without having to sit out.
