You could be right but Minnesota has to surprise a LOT of people to finish Top 10 in the conference. 13 teams are pretty unanimously picked to finish ahead of them by many different people. ESPN Story. ESPN for instance picks the Top 13 Transfer Portal teams in the country...I'm citing because...

Why it matters? If Coach P leads the Gophers to the Sweet 16 next year...without that contract she's more likely to leave for more money. (I am assuming if you give her the extension and more money it has a significant buyout as well? ...to help hire her somewhat proven replacement if necessary)

Well, come on now...on a very basic level Ben didn't get us to the NCAA Tournament and neither has Coach P. And they finished about the same place in the conference standings. So, there is that. But Ben was given an extension at a similar point as well...so, time will tell. Pretty much...

I think we'll compete for certain but these teams are all in somebody's Top 25: Purdue, Michigan, UCLA, USC, Michigan St, Illinois, Wisconsin, Oregon, Iowa, Ohio St, Indiana and Washington...count 'em up that is 12 teams with some Top 25 buzz because of their portal additions. Minnesota is...

Putting numbers on it is probably pretty difficult? ... I think we know Niko will have a better, more efficient offensive team than Ben. But, the MW is not the gauntlet the Big Ten is. The league has different players than last year as do the Gophers. But we do know the points of emphasis...

Joseph Acosta has us with with two Big Ten wins. I'm like you...I think 10 Big Ten wins is closer to reality than two.

CBS Story

Since Tyson signed on June 1st with the Gophers...for all 350+ teams 247 lists 3 guys signing to date. Yet there are supposedly a couple thousand guys without teams. At one point 3700 plus guys entered the portal. Is this teams waiting on the rules...house settlement money, roster number...

If you want to get better...if you want a competitive team...if you want to make the NCAA Tournament....if you want your players to know what the Big Ten is about before you start conference games then play other NCAA Tournament type teams in non-conference. That's 5 games...hopefully we do...

See....now that explains a lot of things. :)

I think we'll still be favored in our confirmed non conference games, to date.

Look at that...couple days later feels like maybe we are on the bubble again. Hopefully we get an even better version of the Belmont Tyson!

It would be nice to add at least one more reclamation project. Big would be cool but any size shooter would be fine by me.

Lots of ways to defend the post. Chet Holmgren is one style...athletic aggressive shot blocker. If you are strong, physical and can push the guy off the block you can defend most posts. Height is less important than strength and mindset...only just tall won't do it...think Treyton Thompson...

Cade Tyson commits June 1st roster in post 1 updated

Awesome! Great news! Should be good the next two years...I'm leaning optimistic versus not sure at all for the future.

We rank Top 25 every June. See where it is on signing day...Top 25 then would be very cool!

Well, Whalen got the Minnesota girls she got...so I don't think you can say she wouldn't. Happy she is going to be a Gopher! She should be an asset, no doubt!

I don't know if Mara has another year...the rules are a moving target. Be awesome if she does!

Ya, I'll agree with that.
