I think you are right. He certainly has the skill set, frame, and trajectory to be a diamond in the Barn. Not too worried about his ability to shoot 3's at this point in college, but one never knows how far he could stretch it.

MN needs a "splashy" signing(s) to get fan base (and media) excited. So far a decent team with a limited ceiling that local fans are cautiously optimistic about.

...and the NIL/Collective payments made to each program, and a breakdown of each athlete. :)

https://apple.news/A9_aj61-zTziWmKyBSNDvgg I never want to hear MN cry poor. 2024 $928M Big Ten vs $840M SEC revenue $63.2M divided 12 Big Ten schools vs $52.5M 14 SEC schools 2025 projection $75M div 16 Big Ten schools

100%! Not having access to the War Room, my hopes ride on McGlaughlin (NAU) and Christian Reeves (Clemson) who are still uncommitted. Reeves was a MN recruit originally, but misguidedly went to Dook his first year. Tyson would be good also, but don't want to blow the ROI like NC did. Would...

MN has to make the most of their roster and overachieve. Overall '25/'26 projection at #79 is interesting, but in the category of "Projected Effective Talent", each team is analytically evaluated. #79 MN currently has the lowest "talent" category in the top 80 at 16.1 (scale of 100). Other...

Agreed, but to not even mention him seems dumb.

What about Asuma not even mentioned? Grove? Reader? All can contribute.

I think you're right about the core being established. Its a new era in college bb, and coaches have to keep tighter rotations with more playing time per guy. That said, do you have any predictions for production based on last year's data of players coming to MN lineup? Noteworthy stats shown...

Yea no Cali swing

I like it. No West Coast swing, home games all winnable, at ILL, Mich, Pur will be tough but not damaging to resume.

Since the '72 Ohio St./MN fight under Musselman which involved a groin kick and many other ugly incidents, MN basketball has been affected negatively. As Hannibal Lector stated in "Hannibal", "People don't always say what they are thinking. They just make sure you don't... advance". Since that...

Good to hear. Thank you. I heard the interview with Hawkins and I just sat up and went, "Whoa!". That plus his public demeanor biased me, much like my visceral reaction to Cronin.

I couldn't play for Underwood. Coleman Hawkins said in interview why he transferred from Illinois to Kansas St., "..I couldn't see myself going another year through those practices (w/Underwood)". Jakucionis had enough after one year, as did Ivisic X2, Tre White, Morez Johnson, Carey Booth.

Tyson has proven to be a P5 defensive liabilty, and his confidence has been shaken playing minimal minutes. My guess is the War Room is not going to overspend on him. I’d be excited to get NAriz Trent Mcglaughlin, but admittedly I don’t know about his ability to defend at a high level, but at...
