    The two aren't mutually exclusive. It's possible Payne was pouting and unhappy and that we offered him NIL and were willing to try and salvage things.

    A basketball roster is not that big. When 33% of your players are pouting and not bought in, do you think it will affect the team? The Wolves had their 2004-2005 season completely submarined by TWO guys complaining about money.

    Go Get Musselman

    I guess you forgot that he started the year with a back injury that followed him most of the season? Dude, if starting 19 games and the offense going through him a lot isn't enough, the kid can fuck right off.

    Yeah he said he wasn't going to comment on who might transfer or team issues until after the season. It's called respecting your sources. It's fairly common.

    If you don't think these cancerous attitudes had a lot to do with our late-season swoon, I don't know what to tell you.

    RJ just confirmed that as far back as the Nebraska debacle he knew from team sources that Payne, Carrington, JOJ and Ihnen were causing issues in the locker room and pouting. Also said Dawson was growing increasingly frustrated with these guys as the year went on. Also when Carrington and Payne...

    Not sure if you know who Ryan James is but he has direct sources in the program.

    For the last freaking time...Payne, Carrington and JOJ all got NIL offers from the U. They felt they should be making more money and have larger roles on the team. Ben let them know where they stand and they want to look for greener pastures. THERE IS NIL MONEY to keep guys. It's just not...

    Gaard just said the Gophers are in a good place with Dawson Garcia.

    It's noted that he was upset with Ben and thought he should have been starting more. He, Carrington and JOJ all joined forces to become a locker room issue.

    Payne was told by agents/other schools that he could get entry-level NBA money elsewhere. That's what he is chasing. He also was a malcontent in the locker room along with Carrington and JOJ.

    Okay, so we didn't have enough guys, so that meant all the guys sucked. Got it. So you think Ben is selling the same thing to transfers coming off a 9-win Big Ten season as he was after a 2-win season? There was no change or progress in the program this season.

    Payne had a ton of upside, yes. It's disingenuous to act like - outside of maybe Morgan - any of us know who we will end up bringing in through the portal.
