I don’t agree. I think we are conservative as a institution when it comes to paying money to keep up with others. Tubby cried for a practice facility while we were going to the tourney n it didn’t happen until midway through Pitino’s tenure. I will say money was flowing probably during Thompson...

I think his worry was losing freshmen to the portal (even though it still happened) I think Ben is focused on his development of the 2022 Class so they can be his core for the 24-25 season. JOJ, Carrington, & Payne will be juniors, Betts & Christie will be sophomores, Garcia will decide if he...

Mekonnen from Eastview is a better prospect than McAndrews. We have a realistic shot at him and Groves (even though I don't think he belongs in the Big Ten). We have Asuma already committed. I don't feel like this is a miss or a need. He was good in the state tourney but isn't a can't-miss...

I highly doubt it. Bryce Young was projected to make millions

He went to Northern Alabama he probably never had a first giant wedding

Agree but it’s much harder to do in basketball because the limit number of roster spots and you would basically have to be locked in to portal recruiting as a constant way to fill your roster. If we had a stronger NIL program, then I think it would be easier bc we would have something to offer...

Def not Jamison type. He is a lot less skilled. He def is a good shot blocker & a much better defender.

Where did he say anything about settling for a filler

I just don’t understand what people see that will change. Blue bloods are considered blue bloods because of consistent success. It’s not like the tournament has had crazy amount of parity. I’m hoping this year is the new norm.

I mean 2 of the current starters are power 5 transfers so they have benefitted from the portal to get to this point

I understand where you are coming from, but if we give that scholarship to a Dodd, who ended up at Texas A & M Commerce and averaged under 4 points a game, we are doing the Mike Hurt thing all over. People are saying Henley isn't good enough, but then we want to add Tibbits or Dodd, who won't...

I mean Tibbits played AAU last summer and wasn’t even the best guard on his team. His performance at Wayzata doesn’t prove he can play in the Big Ten. It’s not like he is playing vs a bunch of D1 or 2 players during the high school season

This thread has become confusing. King not getting major minutes at Iowa State isn’t an indictment on his talent. If he was here he would have gotten playing time. People wanted Eli over Braeden coming out of high school & he was the superior player throughout their high school career. Outside...

They may not be full anti but they aren’t huge from a support standpoint. Athletics pay the bills but def not prioritize

This is why it never made sense to go through the stretch of starting Samuels over any of the freshmen. It’s not like we won much & we lost 2 players (Evans & Henley) because of it. I thought Henley had potential to be at minimum a legit Big Ten starter for a contending level team. He performed...

Probably a higher rate now but he didn't start get starters until Evans decided to opt out of NLI

9 win team. Close friend backed out of his commitment & he is from 1000+ miles away. This would happen even before the portal

I mean while at North St Paul his squads beat Wayzata, DeLaSalle, Maple Grove, Chaska amongst others. Those kids are talented but we can say the same about Novak, Oxton or Wayzata’s coach as well

I think it’s easier to point the finger at Thorson because we all know who he is but how much input or what roles do Kemp & Jenkins play? Never see much from them during timeouts of the live games I attended or the mic’d up games as well
