100%! Not having access to the War Room, my hopes ride on McGlaughlin (NAU) and Christian Reeves (Clemson) who are still uncommitted. Reeves was a MN recruit originally, but misguidedly went to Dook his first year. Tyson would be good also, but don't want to blow the ROI like NC did. Would...

MN has to make the most of their roster and overachieve. Overall '25/'26 projection at #79 is interesting, but in the category of "Projected Effective Talent", each team is analytically evaluated. #79 MN currently has the lowest "talent" category in the top 80 at 16.1 (scale of 100). Other...

Agreed, but to not even mention him seems dumb.

What about Asuma not even mentioned? Grove? Reader? All can contribute.

I think you're right about the core being established. Its a new era in college bb, and coaches have to keep tighter rotations with more playing time per guy. That said, do you have any predictions for production based on last year's data of players coming to MN lineup? Noteworthy stats shown...

Yea no Cali swing

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...
