^This is a tough one. Over 90% of D1 teams lose at least one player to the portal. Over 20% of all players enter the portal. Almost 50% don't have a roster spot the next season. It will depend on who leaves and what the new season roster looks like. Don't know exactly what the AD is looking...

Civility on GH? LOL I do think Ben will get at least one more year. The only way he doesn't is if there is some kind of total collapse. I'm optimistic for Ben and the Gophers in 2024. They need a jump in 2024-2025 just like they had a jump from 2023-2024. Can't be less that 10-10 next...

You didn't ask the question to me, but I'll give my answer. Any coach in a P6 conference that has never been a HC at any level, finished historically dead last in the conf his first 2 years and in his third year does not make the NCAA of NIT should be fired. Clear enough??

I would throw Ihnen, Betts, Wilson and the rest of the bench out there for Purdue. Rest the starters and prep for what's left of the BIG season.

Mulligan, experiencing reading comprehension issues since 2009. Triggered much? I state fact and say I'm enjoying the season, and you go off. Nice, troll. Seems like you are suggesting either Ben shouldn't have a plan if/when a player leaves the program prematurely or you think the Gophers...

I'm selfish. I don't care if he ever develops a jump shot. Metrics show that the 2 best shots are #1-the 3 pointer. #2-close range 2's. He is a monster at close range 2's. I hope he never attempts a 12 ft jumper. Obviously the 3pt shot is only good if a team can shoot a decent (38%??)...

If I was a pro scout looking at TE's I would create 2 hi lite video's. One showing BSF's great plays and another showing his miss blocks and dropped passes. I would show both to BSF and then ask him. "Who are you?" "Which one?" Curious minds would like to know.

Ben had better have a plan. over 90% of D1 teams lose players to the portal every year. He may not know now, but when a player decides to leave MN, Ben had better have an IMMEDIATE plan IN PLACE to address that move. Expect the unexpected and have a plan in place. I don't want to hear any...

Thanks Stan. Good luck today all. I have to drive the wife 2 hours to get a new vehicle today. That means 4 hours at the dealership. Recording the game to watch at about 9 PM east coast time. Go Gophers!

Someone please explain the logic behind this? He is already under contract through 2028. Four more years. Is he so hot that some other Univ will snag him up unless we give him an extension? I can see extending coaches because if you are good (Ben is not) other schools will steal you away...

Goodbye NCAA

If we are playing on weakling Wednesday this year, you think he deserves a 4th? If we are the same next year (weakling Wednesday) you think he deserves a 5th? How low is the bar for you Stoker?

Good enough this year? Currently in 9th. Will that be "good enough" if we end the season in 9th? Put metrics to that statement. What would "pretty disappointing" be to you? To me, we are already there. If we finish 10th or better (no weakling Wednesday) I am good with a 4th year. To...

My guess? Not a specific #. Not a NIT or NCAA bid. It has to do with a couple of things. How does the team look. Do we win the games we should win. Are our losses close and we don't look like a dumpster fire on the court. So, more than a decent W-L record. Intangibles. If the second...

I watched the NW v Purdue game last night. Pretty much need someone/something to challenge a Edey. But, like others, I agree it is somewhat situation. My advice to Ben: Construct a proper roster. Don't NEED a 5/center and then not have one available.

Wholly crap! My sarcasm alert is screaming right now. He should get a (negative) performance bonus. Like pay the school back at least half his salary.

Welcome. Just wait. Hitler and Trump haven't even made it into the conversation yet.

Rockchalk gave a specific example of a new HC turning a program around. Your response? Inferring that he is the extreme exception and Ben's first three years is the normal situation for a new HC. BS!! If that is true, give us examples of the numerous new HC's who have been absolute dumpster...

Umm, we knew literally before Fox picked up the pen to sign. He actually got hurt PRIOR to signing on the dotted line. I'll grant you we didn't know about year two (injury) but many/most athletes do not come back 100% after that first injury. I'm happily surprised the way Fox is playing and...

Great breakdown. Thanks for putting that together. Before the season started, I said 7 BIG wins +/- 3. I was betting the under which would be 6. I hope it goes one way or the other. Win them all or lose them all. I want it to be obvious which way to go at the end of the season. If we win...
