Yes, and it's not just sports entertainment options. The Twin Cities likely has more non-sporting entertainment options than a multiple Big Ten hometowns. All sports and no culture makes John a dull boy, especially where most women are concerned.

I doubt it but one can always hope I guess.

I've had my eye on this kid since before the end of the regular season. He is a very promising prospect and this is a good acquisition for Indiana. I was wondering why it took so long for him to land somewhere. Now I think it's because he probably had a high price tag and Indiana was willing...

I don't know if the coaching staff showed any interest in him (or whether he had any interest in returning) but I would have been fine with him returning. I think he's a bit better than the average forward available at this point.

One of the recruiting sites says that Noah Amenhauser committed to Oregon State.

He's one I've been looking at for some time too. I'm a bit surprised that they're recruiting him after the Turner commit but more the merrier I guess.

April 22nd or 30 days after the player played his last game, whichever comes later. Johnson doesn't fall into the second category so I'm not sure what he's doing. He's also out of eligibility like many of these later entries.

Good analysis! Still, most of those players were upperclassmen. This guy was just a freshman and improved a lot in that one year. From what I can see, he had very little in the way of D1 offers coming from high school but he was one of Central Arkansas' best players, albeit on a poor team, by...

I think IU got more good players transferring in than what they lost transferring out although they lost two very good ones in Mgbako and Reneau to the portal and lost Ballo to eligibility.

Assuming the exact same set of grading standards can be applied across all groups is folly. The students at Minnesota Math and Science Academy will not be graded the same way as a students in a class for those with learning disabilities and Minnesota basketball fans will not grade their coaches...

All good points! A much more comprehensive set of criteria than I would have contemplated. Well done!

Almost sounds like a topic for a Gopher Hole poll!

Not many freshmen centers score 37 points in a game. He also had 10 straight games of scoring in double figures once he started playing more at the end of the season. He was 76 of 111 (68.5%) on free throws. Obviously, there are some promising things about him and he certainly has Big Ten...

I don't doubt that and he may do pretty well. But, keep something in mind: Danny Sprinkle was 28-7 in his one year at Utah State, his successor was 26-8 and his predecessor was 26-9 in his final year. Before them, Craig Smith was 74-24 in his three years at Utah State but flopped at Utah. Utah...

Ben has been fired but I'm sure you'll continue to moan about him for at least a couple more years because you have little else to say.

"they've been taking two steps forward and one step back over and over since they joined the conference" That's probably the best summary of Penn State's basketball performance in the conference that I've ever read. They have some decent teams here and there but they never seem to be able to...

Despite the miserable showing in their first conference year, I'd still put Washington ahead of the rest of that group based on their apparent resources and the quality of their recruiting as rated by the services.

Remember, assuming that tournament continues next season, Big Ten teams who do not make the NCAA tournament reportedly are contractually obligated to play in the College Basketball Crown if they are invited and choose to play in a post-season tournament. Nebraska and USC, the only non-NCAA...

I recall a poll of Big Ten basketball coaches some years ago rating Minnesota as the second worst job (after Northwestern) in the conference so Seth isn't treading new ground here.

6th year and, according to what was posted here, his appeal was denied. I don't think there will be another "5" recruited unless it's some project player who is way down in the rotation. Possibly another forward though.
