    Hmm, at least he’s twelve.

    Kyan Evans

    Ben had a system? Dribbling the ball flat with near zero movement could be considered a system I guess. As for your assessment, I think you are spot on! Asuma should mesh very well with Niko’s offensive strategy. I think he will also actually get plays called for him for the first time!

    How many of you think it’s not the coach it’s the conference?

    Gopher hockey used to be in a conference where it was tough to win or be in the top 2. Now in the B1G it is like a birthright! Maybe, they are soft because of not playing UND, UMD, and Denver they play against the B1G gauntlet with not nearly the home ice advantage of the three teams I just...

    Niko’s roster construction

    Updated after the weekend. Got rid of Rigsby and the two Ben recruits. Added Evans as a portal follower, MAYBE

    Day 3 of Niko, still no CSU portal action

    Thanks, I hadn’t seen that.

    Day 3 of Niko, still no CSU portal action

    Is this cause for concern? Beats me. Maybe Niko isn’t the type to fleece his old home. Still, I know a lot of you were hoping for some CSU transfers. Maybe they are happy with Ali.

    Guess Niko and his meeting went well.

    Niko’s roster construction

    Back in 1984, I had a $115 pair of Brooks high tops, which was quite a lot of money at the time. The shoes blew out in the Region 3 Championship game and instead of blowing more major coin, I rocked Chucky Ts at the state tourney. They were easier to break in. For the thread, Rigsby went...

    Niko’s roster construction

    I wouldn’t mind seeing Parker Fox added to the staff.

    Nadine asks Medved about hanging the 1997 banners and playing St. Thomas

    There is not a good reason to avoid St Thomas. They would definitely have beefed up Ben’s pathetic NC schedule. Could play it at the Target Center!

    Niko’s roster construction

    Were any players at the intro? Asuma? Grove? Rigsby? GARCIA???

    Niko’s roster construction

    This is as close to a blank slate as you can possibly get! So it is pretty much going to be a roster he owns from the start. But that is the new landscape of NCAA Basketball. The cupboard: Isaac Asuma - if you’re only going to get one returnee you could do a lot worse. CONFIRMED RETURN...

    What grade would you give Mark Coyle's hire of Niko Medved?

    Yeah, I think that is about right. I gave him a “D” for Ben instead of an F simply because I figured someone told him to do it. As for now, An A would have been for something monumental, like getting Dutcher out of San Diego, Shaka, or like hiring Bobby Knight the day after Indiana fired him...

    4 years out, the Niko Medved hire will be a success if?...

    50% NCAAs At least 1 season in top half of B1G A 50-50 record vs Skunks At least this hire isn’t a reach. A Tyrannosaur could of made this choice!

    What grade would you give Mark Coyle's hire of Niko Medved?

    Local guy, U grad, proven rebuilder, and successful NCAA participant at Fort Collins. I gave Cole a C. Any one of us idiots could have pulled the trigger on this one. To get a higher score he would need to outperform the Gopherhole Borg. At least, a C+ for not trying to overthink it.

    All Things Gophers Coaching Search Thread (rumors, tweets, tid-bits and more)

    I’m pretty sure this is what Tony Bennett said when asked what he was going to do upon stepping down from Virginia. “Fly me to the moon, let me swing among the stars! Take me round the universe to Minneapolis and St Paul. In other words, Coyle, hire me!” At least, I think that is what he said.l

    Marcus article: Gophers are hiring while Big Ten men’s basketball has zero Black head coaches again

    Maybe Marcus could do a respective puff piece on John Thompson and his reverse racism stance built on his quote, “A white player will never start for me.” Wonder what John thinks of Mr Flagg.

    Will Wade to NC State

    Another one bites the dust. Per ESPN, upon the end of his current teams run, he will take over where Jim Valvano used to coach!
