Nice! Another good get, need to see them all on the court still but been really pleased with Ben’s high school recruiting in general so far.

Agreed. I think we’re in a good spot. Also though, if he ends up deciding not to come here, I’m gonna hate reading all the “he was just stringing us along” comments. Obviously nobody knows besides him, but it really does feel like he’s legitimately considering us, even if he does ultimately...

Slightly biased here, but that Maple Grove team was very very good last year, and he was a huge part of it. Pretty excited that he’s coming to the U. As an aside, keep an eye on Maple Grove this year, a ton of talent on that team and should have a real shot at the title.

Getting an official visit from him feels big.

There’s a difference between “expecting” to make it to the NFL because you’re talented and think it should be given to you, and “expecting” to make it to the NFL because you’re confident in your abilities and work ethic, and you know that you’re willing to put in the time needed. I think that...

It’s possible to both want to play freshmen and also not want to be forced to rely on only playing freshman since there are no other options.

#6 ranked punter in the country by Kohl’s kicking. Sweet to get him on board, a good punter is always nice to have.

Yeah, was thinking about it more and I bet that’s exactly what they do. If you can’t lock them to the school, at least lock them to the city.

I’m assuming there’s a contract that specifies what exactly he can get, and what he could lose it for (misconduct, etc). As far as I know, and someone who knows more NIL correct me if I’m wrong, you can’t legally specify that a player must attend a certain school in order to receive the NIL...

The weird part of this is that Wong did not actually sign a contract that forces him to play for the university of Miami, since NIL cannot officially contain stipulations that a player must play for a certain university. So, by transferring, he isn’t actually breaking any contract, and I can’t...

I think he could be a solid high-energy, high-usage guy at a smaller school in a more up-tempo, free-flowing conference. Don’t think he was a great fit for the big 10, but was worth a shot. Wishing him the best of luck.

Would be pretty much the perfect add, but he’s gonna have his choice of any school in the country. Would be shocked if it wasn’t a blue blood. He’s a very very good player.

Ja Morant was a 34% shooter from 3 this last year and was a 36% shooter his last year on college, on over 4 attempts a game each season. Sutherlin was 3 for 13 on the SEASON from 3. Huge difference between not being a great shooter like Morant and being a guy that teams literally don’t need to...

Not sure how anyone who has watched gopher basketball recently can look at a player’s height only and think they know their position. Amir Coffey was a 6’7” guard, Jordan Murphy was a 6’6” post, and ihnen is a 6’8” stretch 4(?). 3 guys in the 6’6” - 6’8” range with incredibly different play...

Bigs can’t make it in the NBA if they can’t shoot. A guard that can’t shoot? No chance.

Great get. Johnson is gonna have to do some work with adjusting lineups and figuring out how to put the pieces together, but the overall talent level of the team just went up. Exciting stuff, finish out with some transfer guards and we’re in decent shape. Assuming he has 2 years left, but will...

I think Henley could end up being a steal. Obviously no guarantee to work out, but a 6’7” guy with guard skills has a ton of potential.

Ivy League offers too. Looks like a really good get with some potential to fit some different spots

A lot of individual players exceeded expectations for me - basically the entire starting lineup. Obviously, all of them have their flaws, but each of them showed a lot more than I was expecting this year. Hoping that’s an indicator of an ability to identify talent from Johnson. Less excited...

No matter how good or bad the season goes, when we reach the end, it hits me that this could be the last time we ever watch these players in a gopher uniform. Excited to watch these guys, win or lose, and appreciate their commitment to the U this year and the heart they’ve shown all year, in...
