    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    It depends on what you mean by top HS players. If you are talking 5 stars, that's different than a top 150 kid might get. So many teams are prioritizing the portal that NIL is less of an HS recruiting issue outside of the top 50-75 kids and even that number is probably larger than it is. As far...

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    Mo got it bc he was an high profile player. I doubt they are paying anything spectacular. NIL isn’t as prevalent across the board as people think

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    Fleck teams have wet the bed vs. Iowa. The Gophers would have played in 3 Big Ten championships if that didn't happen. They have been above .500 3 out of the last 4 years 2019 7-2 2020 3-4 COVID Year 2021 6-3 2022 5-4 I can't say NIL has limited our football program. Fleck has a system (Good...

    All Things Grayson Grove Recruitment Thread (Class of 2024, Alexandria, MN; 6-8, 190lb; Gophers Commit!

    Groves is a worse ball handler, defender, and passer. Shooting is his skill. He goes right most of the time & is still undersized to play the 4 in the Big Ten. Mekonnen can play both forward spots and game is still developing. As far as skill, I don’t know what Groves does that is more skilled...

    Like I said I don’t fully understand it. I do like Grayson’s competitiveness. Kind of reminds me of Tschetter. Tschetter was a surprise to a lot of people but he had a couple times where he went head to head with Treyton and others who were sort after & destroyed them. I hope Groves work out but...

    I don’t know what you have been watching but if that’s what you believe then okay. The only site that has both ranked is prephoops & Mekonnen is still above Groves

    Where is Groves ranked higher? I don't think either one is ranked. Also, this is McKennonen's first year playing with a shoe team. His recruitment will be similar to Pharrell's. He has been the best player on D1MN 17s. I would even say Isaiah Johnson-Arigu has been better than Groves as well. I...

    Honestly Groves is much more of a low to mid major project than High major project. I do like his competitiveness and ability to contest shots at the rim. He is closer to 6'7 6'8 than a 6'9 6'10 player and he is far from wing. He is more of a stretch 4/5. His high school team plays majority zone...

    Dickinson: "The people hating on me would leave their job right now for a $10,000 increase...I got, at Michigan, less than six figures."

    This is a false narrative. Kansas City, Cleveland, & St. Louis have been to or won a World Series. MLB’s death is not because of their cap

    Eden Prairie Coach

    I hear what you are saying. Calling a coach a diversity hire for a high school coaching position is just crazy IMO. It's not like there are African American coaches getting positions outside of Minneapolis or a school that has a rising population of students of color

    Eden Prairie Coach

    Agree, but if the majority of people in positions to hire or lead are non-black people, and these biases exist, don't you think that can cause all the complaints and frustration? There have been people who are qualified for positions who don't get interviews because of their names. Also, we...

    Eden Prairie Coach

    This is a Wild statement & how can someone not be qualified for a high school coaching position. There are schools who have coaches who have never coached basketball a day in their life and are trying for the first time. It’s one thing to say America has evolved as a country but to act like...

    Who is to say he cant handle it just because he commented on it? He never said people arent allowed to comment, but people cant look at his comment as if he is complaining about how much he made he is just explaining the situation

    Did the Gophers improve their backcourt this offseason?

    You didn't add any context to this, but as a freshman, Murphy averaged 11.9 & 8 but the team talent was much worse. The following year Coffey and Spring were added to the roster, and Murph took one shot less, but the team had 5 players averaging 8 shot attempts or more. They also won more that...

    Did the Gophers improve their backcourt this offseason?

    He averaged 8 & 5 while getting only 5 shots a game. He should get at least 9-12 shots per game especially with Jamison gone & if the new guards can draw help thru dribble penetration then he will get a few more drop off layups per game as well. With more minutes he will def average at least 7+...

    Did the Gophers improve their backcourt this offseason?

    Oturo wasn’t on a good team as a sophomore. Who is predicting that Payne will average 20 & 11? I do think with an increase in min 15 & 8 is very reasonable

    Dickinson: "The people hating on me would leave their job right now for a $10,000 increase...I got, at Michigan, less than six figures."

    He’s not complaining about what he’s making he more saying people need to mind their own damn business and stop watching other people’s pockets. If he decides to leave it’s his decision. Doesn’t matter if it’s coach, school, or financial reasons
