Oh I agree with that. I am not really referring to him but to the situation where a number of good players may be still looking for a home and we could still get one. I have no idea who that could be and this kid is almost assuredly not the one we get.

This is a situation that I thought could happen. The big boys have their starting lineups in place and have spent a lot of money. Now you have some really good players left who need to find a place that gives them two things: 1. A nice bag of NIL money 2. A feature role that positions them for...

We dribbled a lot and settled for threes. OKC went to the hoop. I thought Edwards, who is my favorite player by far, mailed it in, in the 4th quarter. Go down fighting instead of laying down.

I still think they will get a few more. You have to have more than 10 for the sake of practice and inevitable injuries. I think they will get one more rotation guy or better.

Pretty impressive, COY- everywhere he has been.

I think that seems about right.

In the old days of real college basketball, Rutgers would have been set up to roll next year. With the two cornerstone pieces they would have added a few extra guys and everyone would have learned the system and they would win big. In 74-75- the Gophers had Thompson, Ray Williams, Lockhart...

It's the old chicken and egg issue. Which comes first? I'd say the product has been too bad for too long to expect more. My guess is that will begin to change this year!

The student section was upper deck, during Mussy years, if I recall. My brother in law, a little older than me was going to the U in the early 70s and would have me get there early to save a couple spots in the student section. When I say early- an hour and a half early! Get the seats, wait...

Nah but I hear there are some great players coming up in Greenland! Ice water in their veins.

Do all of these 51st state guys qualify as internationals?

It may be that there is a lot of talent left but that you also have to sift through some character issues with some of them not selected yet.

Not really. It is crazy that you see so many of these guys pop up at mid majors and do well. Obviously there are some known commodities out there that are hard to get, but I would hope Niko will do better than past coaches in this area.

I like the idea that one of our posters forwarded- perhaps we will see an overseas player come our way.

Thanks for arranging it that way. It is great to see a team that has a present AND a future. Yes we have to keep them, but I am convinced that if a guy likes the coach and his future here, he is much easier to retain for the next year.

So far- Durkin, Omot, Crocker- Johnson, Viahhola, Turner, Grove meeting that description but Reynolds at 6-4 can fly and averaged 5.9 Rebs. Lot's of 6-3 size as well. It might be hard for teams to get us in bad match ups height wise on defensive switches.

It is too soon. That said, I agree with the OP. We have more size and more speed than last year. We have a coach that has proven he can take a team and develop them in his system in a fairly short time- as he did last year at CSU. Be ready for a bumpy start and a good finish.

I think this is Niko using his history of working with and winning with Stevens, Roddy, Evans, and Nicque to sell a kid like this on getting a shot at doing the same thing. This is what Ben did not have working in his favor, he just didn't have those success stories to lean on. I like Stephens'...

FWIW- per 247 Last year we go 6 transfers with an average ranking of 87 and we rated as the 86th best transfer squad This year we have 7 with an average ranking of 89 and we rank 46th- so far.

Devron Bostick for me. Watched him in summer ball before his first year with Tubby and he was amazing. Had a sweet stroke, crazy athleticism and could beat you off the dribble or go long. He was lazy on defense and got in Tubby's dog house and never got out.
