Ben has shown he can reel-in highly ranked recruits from across the country. But you're right, we might not have time to wait for a PG. That's the time we might need a transfer...when we're 1 position away from being good.

It's a very fair comparison. The era is NOT so different. A new coach still needs to recruit and build a base. And what NEVER CHANGES is fans blasting a new coach after every bad game...no matter what he inherited.

I'm gearing-up for 2 years from now when Ben's recruits are juniors & sophomores. We seem to have everything except a PG (unless Christie can really do it).

No, we don't have to blindly wait 4-5 years. We can judge the progress of our 4 freshmen...see how they're playing toward the end of the year. And we can judge our 3 recruits on their ranking/potential.

Well we agree on that.

Pitino recruited our only high school recruit, Thompson. Ben brought in some last-minute transfers.

Ben's first recruits are still freshmen. And Christie seems like a good recruit. But yes, we might need a transfer PG in a couple years once we have a base in place.

Ok answer this. Are you happy that our administration ran Clem Haskins, Royce White, and Reggie Lynch out of town?

Why would I want to support pure sleaze and corruption? I'll gladly be a 'quitter' under those circumstances.

I didn't ask you to cut & paste the entire roster. I asked you to name Ben's first recruits.

If our freshmen & recruits develop but get bribed away by other schools...my solution is to quit watching Gopher basketball. I'll be done.

I'm actually a little more bullish. Same concept...but I'm hoping to be good by the time Evans is a sophomore.

There you go again. You guys keep peeing on my leg and telling me it's raining. No one is blaming Ben???

Ben's first recruits are freshmen. You won't give names to prove otherwise, because you know you can't. Deep down you guys know that your temper-tantrums are childish and nonsensical. But you can't help yourselves.

So you're already giving up on all of our freshmen before the conference season even starts? And you're giving up on Evans, Christie, & Betts? I seriously think that you (and others) need to quit going-to & watching the games. You need to calm down...just check the box scores, look for...

So now we're even blaming Ben for what he inherited. Brilliant !!!

Name them.

You can be skeptical of Ben. But you should be fair. Watch the progress of our freshmen...not game-by-game but over the entire season. And watch our recruiting. You say Wisconsin isn't worried about our recruiting & trajectory. Well the feeling is mutual...I'm not worried about their...

But you conveniently forgot to mention that Johnson followed up his first recruiting class with a higher rated 2nd class, including an outstate 5-star. It makes no sense to not give him a chance to develop his recruits. My first choice was Musselman. Instant 5-star recruiting. So that's a...

Last year our only freshman was Thompson. A Pitino recruit that isn't a cornerstone of our rebuild. So yeah, might as well bring in some transfers. This year it's different. We have 4 freshmen.
