I wouldn't blink an eye at that being the outcome. I do wonder if the Gophers NIL money would be distributed differently if the coach were not entering a make or break season. e.g. Would a coach more secure in his job choose to pay Payne (2 years of eligibility) instead of Garcia (1 year)?

Worth mentioning - since we're shopping for bigs - that DJ Burns basically replicated his per game rebound average from the SOCON in the ACC. He also increased the minutes he played per game, pretty incredible for someone his size.

My goodness. I think Braeden was going to have to compete to be the 7th man for the Gophers next season. I'm not sure what kind of landing spot he can find that would pay more and include more playing time.

Bingo. This is what I was saying in the Payne thread. Carrington and PP are exactly the type of player Ben was brought in to recruit and retain. If they are leaving, what are his strengths as HC?

On the surface it feels like a knee-jerk reaction to say this should result in making a coaching move. But the reality is CBJ has been given a lot of latitude to build and the strongest argument for keeping him was that he would have a top half of the B1G team next year with an opportunity to do...

Setting aside whether he'd be medically cleared (no small thing), I feel like any big man they take should be someone ready to play, not developmental.

40% from the 3pt line on nearly four attempts per game as a freshman.

Good call, didn't check that in my excitement about his 3PT shooting.

Time for Agent Mitchell to get to work

It feels to me that Coyle has planted the seeds of expectations for next year with his "preseason top 25" comments. This is a public statement that the program is improving and gives him an opening to make a move next year during the season rather than at or near season's end. On the latter...

Presumably you are at the pinnacle of your profession and decline being paid accordingly.

Or, you know, the complete lack of a coaching resumé.

I'd be very disappointed if this happened, but I am enjoying the thought of UCLA fans having to transition from watching Kelly's fast-paced offense to PJ's slow-it-down approach.

This is most likely correct. But historically, the best time to play Purdue is in March. If the team needs a good showing in the BTT, I wouldn't mind drawing them in the semis. A win there could make the championship moot on Selection Sunday. Thrilled this even a conversation in February.

100% agree. Real knowledge would be reflected in having predicted this before it happened. This is just using statistics to make unpopular decisions seem sensible and obvious.

New portal entry from Syracuse: https://cuse.com/sports/football/roster/Kevon-Darton/22201 Not the typical transfer profile: former walk-on that earned a scholarship and played a lot. We did just hire a coach from Syracuse, but he's a pretty undersized DT for a B1G team playing a four-man front.

I voted LSU, simply because it is the only school that has won multiple titles with multiple coaches. Three titles with three different HCs since 2003. You can recruit Texas and the southeast regionally and also get national recruits. Great, young alumni base in the NFL.

June Jones? Is that you?

I always get chills listening to the Christensen call, never fails! It's also remarkable to notice how few people are on the Michigan sideline as Thompson runs past.

I would be most interested in how the head coach and staff implement their culture. Obviously primarily for the Gophers, but each program has their own philosophical perspectives and it'd be cool to get behind the curtain to see how they cultivate that with their players.
