I understand your point and I think the outside shooting is a question mark besides Battle too....although I think Garcia will also be better than people expect if they haven't seen him play. Last year Stephens and Willis were both good outside shooters and even Loewe would make some as well...

Too many people on this board are way to concerned about putting players into specific positions. It’s not going to be like that…your point about versatility goes over half the posters heads.

I find this kind of funny. Garcia had 26 and 8 against Purdue while Edey and Williams had a combined 29 points and 7 rebounds. That said, I personally think Garcia is more of a perimeter player and think Payne and Fox will be the more interior players for the Gophers. I'm only basing that on...

I think you (and some others on this board) are way to focused on traditional positions. I’d like to see another ball handler…and I think we will get one from the portal….but for me I think the Gophers have a pretty versatile roster.

He seems like a nice kid and I hope he improves…. Last year we had Curry, Daniels and Battle. Next year we have Battle, Fox, Payne, Garcia, Ihnen….we have a lot of roster versatility….but he will need to improve a lot to see playing time next season. I’m not the coach….but those 5 will take up...

I’ll bet you anything you want they won’t finish in last place next year.

I don't want to go back to an old thread....but I don't think there were very many people on this board who thought we would get to a win number in the teens. I was seeing more 0-2 B1G wins than 4-5. Regardless of the win total (I actually thought they would win 5-6 B1G games), they were more...

What do you have against Ben Johnson….or are you just a negative person. They out performed just about everyone’s expectations last year and if you look at the roster we have for next year, if Garcia is eligible we should have one of the best teams we have had the last 10 years with lots of...

Culture and fit doesn't matter....i just want the most good players I can get. If I have Justin Jefferson, Cooper Kupp and Davante Adams, Justin Jefferson better improve his best. The point I'm trying to make is some people are looking at constructing a roster like they do a fantasy football...

I haven’t coached Division 1 basketball….but I know in my fantasy football teams it’s important to have 4-or 5 good running backs…..and 4 to 5 good WRs. With byes abs injuries you really need that. Plus sometimes guys just go into a slump. I would think that coaching a Division 1 basketball team...

Who is Garcia....is he any good?

I've heard from coaches of kids they are recruiting that there is a huge difference from the previous coaching staff. I kind of think Johnson feels comfortable with Carrington and Henley getting quality minutes this year

I think that this is the correct answer.

You mean there are other factors that could influence his decision that posters on this message board might not know about?

I think it is very possible. I’m not sure how close they are but when Doogie stated you and Stewart would be a nice backcourt, Cooper responded, “that’s what I told him!” It seemed like Doogie felt they had a good chance with Strong. I’m really excited to see Garcia in maroon and gold. I’m good...

Doogie talks to Garcia and Cooper. When you listen to the interview with Cooper, Cooper talked about knowing Stewart and trying to recruit him to the Gophers as well. Doogie also mentions that Strong has a visit to Nevada this weekend but that the Gophers are interested him after a visit...

His dad was an 88 Washburn grad. As someone from that generation, it was right when Clem was making it popular to be a Gopher fan. I would have thought Thorson was a little older than Green but maybe they overlapped for a year or two. Dark Horse is probably an accurate description as it would...

After thinking about it the last 24 hours I think we will only sign one more significant piece. I know they have spent a lot of time on Winter and I assume the same with Chatman as well. I believe those are the two big targets in the 2023 class and the kid from Holy Family I think will go to...
