    Cam Christie #8 in top players uncommitted in Transfer portal.

    Because he was invited to the combine he basically has to decide if he wants to play professionally next year. If I'm not mistaken if he gets drafted he has to go pro, if he slides and is not picked in the second round he can always return to college. Either way I'm guessing he makes more money...

    College Basketball Transfer Portal Thread - 2024

    Calipari is saying he is going to take 8 or 9 and maybe 10 max schollies. For practicing purposes he is going to find graduate assistants that played at a high level.

    Seriously How Can The Gophers Compete???

    That's just the way it's going to be in the future. You are going to have to look at the mid majors for the younger players. The top 4* and 5* guys are still going to be on the power 6 rosters but after that kids out of high school are going to have to go to the mid majors and play their way up.

    Minnesota kids you really enjoyed watching

    Was Hunter the PG at Mechanics Arts in 1974. That guy was built like a barrel, had the quickness of a walrus, but because of his stout build he could create his own shot and he was deadly. Hard guy to defend. Landsburger on the fast break was a force of nature. Let him get within 10 feet of the...

    Seriously How Can The Gophers Compete???

    No it doesn't unless you participate in a non revenue sport then it might have huge impacts. Just like the recruiting thread. It really doesn't matter much anymore. High school recruits are really not going to impact outcomes for the most part unless you get the 5* kids.

    Gopher Potential Portal Pursuits

    Three more if I am not mistaken, a big, a small forward, and best player available. I guess you could give at least one to a walk on.

    Femi Odukale commits

    The pro game is different because of the 24 second shot clock and skill levels, more individual scoring, less ball movement.

    Caleb Williams commits to the Gophers

    Not sure why you say that. His skill set is not all that different than Hawkins and Willis the two PG's that have been successful under Johnson.

    Mike Max was saying that it was rumored that Danja was getting in the 1 mill range from Memphis. He also said his sources were saying Hawkins increased his NIL by 280k at Texas Tech. Nothing is verified because the numbers aren't published.

    Caleb Williams commits to the Gophers

    Williams has very good quickness, not sure Hawkins kept up with him in the matchup last year, part of the reason he scored 40 is my guess. Would be hard for him to match Hawkins productivity on offense but I think he will be an upgrade defensively. If he ends up starting at PG I don't see it as...

    Such a simple solution, unfortunately it will never happen, for some reason the non revenue sports are valued.

    HOW LONG WITH THIS BUYING PLAYERS TREND LAST?

    Hasn't it always been around just not at the level we are now experiencing. I don't see it ever going away.

    Caleb Williams commits to the Gophers

    It's not worth wasting many scholarships on guys that have potential but need to develop anymore. They aren't going to be around anyway. At most two per year. You take chances on guys that have had success at some level. If he ends up being a 5 minute guy off the bench that can contribute from...

    Can't forget about baseball, tennis, golf, track, cross country, etc. they all cost money.

    Caleb Williams commits to the Gophers

    I like the pickup, he is a scorer and can play, maybe a question of whether he is physical enough for the B1G but if Hawkins could withstand the rigors I see no reason that Williams can't do it. He's quick, he matched up evenly in that department when facing Hawkins.

    Christie watch

    Interesting point. From a financial perspective is NIL or two way contract more profitable today especially if the guy enjoys school. Realistically if he is guaranteed a two way contract he is gone.
