I like it. No West Coast swing, home games all winnable, at ILL, Mich, Pur will be tough but not damaging to resume.

Since the '72 Ohio St./MN fight under Musselman which involved a groin kick and many other ugly incidents, MN basketball has been affected negatively. As Hannibal Lector stated in "Hannibal", "People don't always say what they are thinking. They just make sure you don't... advance". Since that...

Good to hear. Thank you. I heard the interview with Hawkins and I just sat up and went, "Whoa!". That plus his public demeanor biased me, much like my visceral reaction to Cronin.

I couldn't play for Underwood. Coleman Hawkins said in interview why he transferred from Illinois to Kansas St., "..I couldn't see myself going another year through those practices (w/Underwood)". Jakucionis had enough after one year, as did Ivisic X2, Tre White, Morez Johnson, Carey Booth.

Tyson has proven to be a P5 defensive liabilty, and his confidence has been shaken playing minimal minutes. My guess is the War Room is not going to overspend on him. I’d be excited to get NAriz Trent Mcglaughlin, but admittedly I don’t know about his ability to defend at a high level, but at...

Indiana has lost more than they’ve gained so far imo.

Solid B due to portal pick ups thus far, which seem like high ROI players. NIL going well, and despite not having a completed roster MN has no glaring deficiencies. Sign a CG like McGlaughlin and we’ll be ready to compete in Niko’s system. Positive about the future, looking forward to driving...

You're right. He has a fringe audience at best, and usually makes outlandish predictions/statements for the sake of attention. He's nothing to garner too much time thinking about. The facilities at MN are first class. Athletic areas/training facilites/nutritional are are fantastic. Tubby...

Big analytic jump if we can get Garcia and CG Trent McGlaughlin NAriz.

Reminds me of Derek Queen on highlight reel.

No I'm very pervious to others' views. Bringing Garcia at MN into an ethics stance against college basketball players playing extra years may have confused me, much like my wife's use of exclamation points. I am 100% with those against perpetual eligibility, but the powers that be have never...

But does he love the uniform?

I am shocked to hear that people posting on this board are saying Garcia should move on or he isn't worth signing. Regardless of the reason, here are Torvik's analytically derived top 30 players in NCAA bb this past season: Stirtz Drake Thornton OSU Kalkenbrenner Creight Flagg (Dook)...

I get your point, but it is the same "high road" example that the Univ. of MN took initially with NIL. -- We are against paying college athletes because the purity of amateur sports would be stained. It comes down to what we would want in our fantasy world/ideal case scenario VS wanting to...

Purely hypothetical, looking at the current list of players I have to assume MN has spent about $3M thus far on Asuma, Crocker-Johnson, Omot, Durkin, Vaihola, Reynolds, and Willis, Jr. The needs remaining are C, PF, CG for rotations. I am expecting MN to make a "splash" signing at Center rim...

Freitag passed on MN when Asuma committed and was garnering more momentum as a legit 3/4-star recruit. Couldn’t see Freitag as Gopher at this point unless it was for PJ.

Lu'Cye Patterson in portal further emphasizes a likely NCAA 5th year allowance to be ruled in June....

The ranking of portal addns to rosters, having MN #10 is not a "thing". leib0039 is correct as it is a numbers game based more on volume of transfers than roster quality moving forward. A far better/fun purely analytic evaluation of the current rosters is available on Torvik. Go to...

I told myself I wasn’t going to do that this year, yet here I am.

Great to hear! Fantastic memories as a high schooler going to Jim Dutcher BB Camp at St. Olaf. Phil Saunders taught me the finer points of shooting free throws. Watched some great teams in the Barn but none top '76-'77 team (24-3/15-3 conf) with three 6'10" guys and starting five: Mychal...
