Just posted On3, Edmonds commits to MN

I would take that bet. Freshman PG is not a good recipe for success. I like the idea of Asuma being Big Ten ready, but likely its an unrealistic jump. Time will tell depending on who we sign in the next few weeks.

Torvik is taking the current rosters/ratings from RosterCast, and ordering them based on that. If MN adds Patterson and Edmonds, our roster strength jumps from #81 to #65 and falls a few teams higher in the projected standings and anticipated W-L record. Its early and a lot of guys haven't...

This reprint I fully agree with.

Not all, most are reasonable, but a proportion of vocal minority known as the "pitchfork crowd" lack emotional control. As a topic example, you have to believe the conversation between CBJ and Christie have been had, keeping his options open, while being cognizant of our salary cap and desires...

I certainly wasn't implying that Caleb is the next Bobby Jackson. The point was that really good players can come from any level of play, from D1 transfers all the way down to JUCO level, a step above High School. Athletics and academic balances are individualistic, and one's basketball...

Definitely don't pooh pooh him because of the D3 background. He's 6'2" with a great handle, can shoot lights out, is quick and defends. The guy can ball. Projected as our starting PG as of yesterday. His game will translate. He comes in more heralded than a guy we got from Western Nebraska...

Luke Leowe went to W&M

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/40064144/jevon-porter-brother-michael-porter-jr-arrested-suspicion-dwi Tough year for the Porters. Glad Gophers didn’t get him.

Good news, bad news, indifferent thoughts. According to the statistical metrics run by Torvik RosterCast, with addn's of Frank Mitchell and Brennan Rigsby, MN has the current #68 strongest roster in college bb. Shockingly, if MN adds Lu'Cye Patterson alone, MN roster improves to #55 which is a...

I know CBJ has stated that he has to take those who accept his offer, but I'm holding out for Fitzmorris (Sr. 6'11 Stonybrook), or Christian Reeves (So. 7'1" Dook) as best rotational pieces with Mitchell. Neither can demand excessive NIL. It seems that commits come quickly after visits, so...

Think I’ll just stick around, see what happens…

Isaiah Gray (Cornell) to Akron Luke O'Brien (Colorado) to Georgia Tech I can only imagine MN knew this and has been hosting others. Would love to see the huge board in the MN "war room" of portal entrants and possible transfers, agents to contact, phone numbers, IG accounts. Would be crazy.

The current best combination additions would be Ken Evans (Jackson St. Sr.) and Keenan Fitzmorris (Stonybrook, 7' Sr.) because according to analytics MNs AdjOE would be 114.6, and AdjDE 98.5--making MN the #43 best roster in NCAA bb.

Looking into analytics here, regarding roster losses and additions. Minnesota finished this past season with an AdjOffEff rating of 113.8, and an AdjDefEff rating 103.1 Using Torvik's ("Sausagemaker") RosterCast which uses player's analytics throughout college careers creating potential...

If Tyson can pledge millions in NIL to Arkansas, FedEx $25M to Memphis, Berkshire-Hathaway money at Nebraska, why are there no large companies in Mnpls that can support the UofM? General Mills, Target, Hormel, Xcel, Land-0-Lakes, USBancorp, 3M, BestBuy, United Health? FFS, why is it so...

Girlfriend going to Kansas

OK, Frankie Mitchell is an even get with Hugley who's off the board. Now get Gray, O'Brien, Fitzmorris and we'll be Big Ten top tier!

If Keenan Fitzmorris doesn’t pan out, do we entertain a repentant Dennis Evans?

If Carrington doesn't come back, then all my efforts go toward Luke O'Brien (Colorado).
