    Employment contracts?

    Tough to enforce giving money back though. Company I started with required a promissory note when you went through training stipulating you would pay the company x number of dollars if you left within three years. It never held up in court. Some type of collective bargaining agreement among the...

    Ken Evans Jr. campaign thread!

    Five seasons in the last 20 had a better big ten record than last season. In historical context I would say yes it wasn't a bad season, and actually a pretty good season.

    Ken Evans Jr. campaign thread!

    How many scorers were there heading into last season, Garcia, anyone else, Hawkins?, nope 5'11" from a way lower conference, Mitchell maybe, Payne if he develops, but where were the points comming from. Didn't turn out so bad.

    All Things Class of 2025 Gophers Basketball Recruiting Thread

    New NCAA agreement has unlimited transfer options, I hope they restrict mid season transfers though and come to an agreement with the NBA not to poach players mid season. Either of those and college basketball will be ruined completely.

    Staying in the draft, he'll be selected in the second round on potential.

    Has College Basketball Turned into a Boring sport?

    How is the NCAA power 5 settlement going to change everything. May be good may be bad but it is going to change things significantly. Sounds like % of the tv revenue is going to go directly to the athletes. Pay for play without any chance of mislabling or it's application. My thing is it should...

    Minnesota native Lu’Cye Patterson commits to the Gophers

    When the opposition needed a basket they often targeted Hawkins. It will be nice not to have that problem but how many times did Hawkins make a clutch three or find an open man. I don't see how it isn't a loss.

    Minnesota native Lu’Cye Patterson commits to the Gophers

    That's kind of what Wisconsin did in the past. When that kid from Benilde played PG for them he was constantly taking last second shots. They would run the clock down to 10 seconds and if they didn't get a shot the PG would take it.

    Minnesota native Lu’Cye Patterson commits to the Gophers

    Based on last season's results then 9-11 or 10-10 seam's reasonable with 11th or 12th in conference. It's still a team sport and how they play together is important. Each individual doesn't always equal the whole.

    If you are only going to have them for a year or two anyway it's just better to go the portal route. Getting a guy who needs a year or two to develop is a waist of time.

    Cam Christie #8 in top players uncommitted in Transfer portal.

    Because he was invited to the combine he basically has to decide if he wants to play professionally next year. If I'm not mistaken if he gets drafted he has to go pro, if he slides and is not picked in the second round he can always return to college. Either way I'm guessing he makes more money...

    College Basketball Transfer Portal Thread - 2024

    Calipari is saying he is going to take 8 or 9 and maybe 10 max schollies. For practicing purposes he is going to find graduate assistants that played at a high level.

    Seriously How Can The Gophers Compete???

    That's just the way it's going to be in the future. You are going to have to look at the mid majors for the younger players. The top 4* and 5* guys are still going to be on the power 6 rosters but after that kids out of high school are going to have to go to the mid majors and play their way up.

    Minnesota kids you really enjoyed watching

    Was Hunter the PG at Mechanics Arts in 1974. That guy was built like a barrel, had the quickness of a walrus, but because of his stout build he could create his own shot and he was deadly. Hard guy to defend. Landsburger on the fast break was a force of nature. Let him get within 10 feet of the...

    Seriously How Can The Gophers Compete???

    No it doesn't unless you participate in a non revenue sport then it might have huge impacts. Just like the recruiting thread. It really doesn't matter much anymore. High school recruits are really not going to impact outcomes for the most part unless you get the 5* kids.

    Gopher Potential Portal Pursuits

    Three more if I am not mistaken, a big, a small forward, and best player available. I guess you could give at least one to a walk on.
