He had 3, Dave.

Thanks. Updated above.

A couple updates above. Asuma (Gophers) & Dufault (UST) say they will return.

Don’t mind this at all. Proven coach needs to go with who he trusts.

Wouldn’t trust this guy. Need a more reliable source. He’s got a little bit of a track record of bogus reports. I do hope it works out for Richard. He’s earned another shot at a big job.

That's why the Gophers are listed first. (wink emoji)!

That's nearly an impossible task. I'll stick simply to who commits to the local squads and who officially commits elsewhere!

You think there's any chance he tests the waters and comes back? That's usually not the case with portal guys, but it does happen occasionally. Sure would be nice if Rohde came back for another ride, though I hear he's headed to Iowa State.

Sure sounds like he'll get another year of eligibility because he was a juco at one point.

100%, Bleed. No interest in playing St. Thomas at a neutral site. A 2 for 1 is the way to go at least initially. Play it by ear after that. I suspect UST would be agreeable to that. I don't expect Niko to schedule the Tommies in Year 1, but I'd bet he & Tauer will come up with something starting...

The Gophers' final non-conference SOS ranking (#336 of #364 nationally) ranked 80th among the 82 "Power 5+" in these rankings. I'm certainly hoping Niko improves upon that in 2025-26. Final 2024-25 Power 5 (+ Gonzaga/Saint Mary's/San Diego State) Non-Conference SOS Rankings 1. North Carolina...

An update on how these rankings actually finished up for the 2024-25 season coming sometime later today. Teams will be ranked based on their final non-conference SOS ranking, not on average NET of opponents, as used to gauge preseason rankings. The preseason ranking (using only the 82 schools)...

Good news for St. Thomas’ NCAA hopes in first season of NCAA eligibility in 2025-26. So far (knock on wood) UST hasn’t lost anyone to free agency.

Revisiting my preseason selections: 39 of 68 made the field. Preseason Final 4 still alive as of Saturday morning: Alabama (East) Duke (East) Gonzaga (national champs) (Midwest) Iowa State (South)

Are you hearing UST may try to do that next season?

He said one thing about Medved that I really liked hearing. Barreiro asked him how he would describe the way Niko's teams play. His answer specifically used John Beilein as the example. Said Niko likes to space the floor with 5 guys that can all shoot it. Beilien's West Virginia and Michigan...

Thanks for the tip. I’ll get it right eventually!

What should be a decent tournament & for now @ Mizzou still on the books.

Just checked their final picks. Joe Lunardi missed 2 (had Indiana & West Virginia instead of North Carolina & Texas). Jerry Palm missed 3 (had Boise State, Indiana & West Virginia instead of North Carolina, Texas & Xavier). (repeating mine) I missed 3 (had Boise State, Indiana & West Virginia...
