Schedule him in for next year, but don't talk about him on this message board!

There are certainly many things about Ben that aren't defensible, but he certainly can identify talent early in the process. Pharrell Payne and Cam Christie are guys that came here. Danny Wolf, Ryan Dunn, and Milan Momcilovic, are among the guys who visited. Ben didn't go after a kid was...

From what I can gather, he's a prospect that didn't get much high-major interest, but is right on the boundary. On a podcast, Ryan James wondered a few weeks ago if Niko would have interest in him. It seems like he would be a developmental project.

If I remember from reading about our new signees, Durkin and Vaihola signed before visiting and were wanting to visit. So I wonder if they are two of the four.

We need a backup point guard, right? ;)

Niko was probably able to get some good background info from Tim Miles, his former boss at CSU.

We don't have enough NIL.

In the past it seems like Gopher Crew's sources are other media sources. So I'm guessing their "confirmation" is Travis Banham's crystal ball on 247. Think of Gopher Crew as an aggregator and educated guesser. They've never really seemed to have any inside sources; they just throw stuff out...

Williams Arena: the place has ghosts. Washburn-McReavy: your ghost management headquarters.

For the first few seconds today when I go to ESPN.com, I think Kadyn Betts portal decision has made headlines...

Much the same way everyone latched onto Jayden Moore's comment that Ben Johnson didn't talk to him enough. Maybe that was intentional? We went after Asuma and passed on Freitag. Maybe we're going hard after Eaglestaff and passing on Brown. Not every player fits a system or has a...

McCollum to Minnesota was an interesting thought for awhile to me. So, like many, I've followed him from afar, so much so, that I even watched his introductory press conference too. What was clear (like Niko's), is that Iowa was the place that he's always wanted to be (and I don't think that's...

I’m excited for this rivalry and I think it should be a good one. It seems like DI coaches have three areas they have to excel in: coaching, recruiting, and fundraising. I think Niko is going to do well in all three. As for McCollum: Clearly McCollum can coach. The twitter scouting report...
