Yea, 100% true. I just estimated what Garcia is likely to do, took normal expectations from the known commodities, and downgraded the contribution from the unknown coming from lesser conferences. Most glaring adaptation: Not expecting Caleb Williams (21pts/game DIII) to contribute nearly as...

Deepest and most intriguing roster, complete with no glaring weaknesses. Most pressure imo will be on FMitchell as the 5 to provide post presence, dish out, and rebound. Not having seen a lot of the new guys play many games-- Garcia (5th yr) obvious starter will be back at natural 4 stretch...

Its hard to get actual data, but MN has to be the oldest team in college bb

Yes.

He was very weak with the ball going to the basket

Laugh it up all u want, but I believe that’s the plan. Every kid wants NBA, and when Coffey was entering the rotation he couldn’t hold the ball in traffic. Betts is being groomed. Not saying he’s there now but he could be later.

I believe CBJ has Betts in development phase to be the "next" Amir Coffey-type, which would be the most likely position at the next level. Betts is very quick with good hops, shooting mechanics, and if he put weight onto his frame he'll be the formidable wing you seek. Defense is unknown. He...

I would think CBJ has had that conversation with Betts, and he will see time at the 3.

I'm just going to take one year at a time and hope for the best. MN does have some talented recruits in the pipeline, and the portal will be a constant.

I love when "experts" declare power rankings, winners and losers, etc. After looking at all the Big Ten teams, additions/subtractions I can make an argument against any team NOT winning the conference, and how every team AT BEST will have at least 6-7 conf. losses, and the worst team will have...

Betts could be a breakout player! He stayed for a reason.

I would take 12th in conf. right now, looking at the strength of the Big Ten. That would likely put MN on the bubble, and would mean that MN likely had a 10-10 record. I would love to see that, and in no way would CBJ be fired imo.

Ha! 100% right. I shouldn't be posting at work! So how many non-conf games will be added?

Last season MN played 11 non-conf scheduled games and obviously 18 regular BTN games. So far there are 7 scheduled non-conf games (Yale, Mizzou, ORU, Cleve St, FD, 2-Fla/Wake/WichSt) but with 20 conf games scheduled. With travel, etc. MN may elect to only add a couple more non-conf games...?

CBJ, the non-conference schedule and record (for all the Big Ten teams) is going to be highly scrutinized this next season. In my opinion, there is going to be such a large group of strong teams around .500 in conf. that the MM committee will likely have to consider upwards of 12-13 teams for...

I’ll take the one who hasn’t been arrested

I can see a scenario where CBJ and admin are scrambling at this very moment to secure more NIL $ for final roster spot. I certainly wouldn't want to be a college bb coach right now. I don't disagree with your overall sentiment, but my question was regarding the team compared to last year...

Yea, Jr. is a Sr. and so is Sr. Does anyone think that our frontcourt will be improved from last season? Garcia will be great at the 4 stretch, but I'm uncertain how effective Frank M. and Edmonds will be scoring. (Jordan Murphy buckets w/put backs are just as good as a flashy dunk). Payne...

Mike Mitchell Jr. listed as a junior, which is correct in a way.

OK I clicked.. Got me... PUR, overrated. Kylo-Renn as a center makes them a bunch of gunners. 6th pl finish. UCLA, overrated. Cronin took a USC guy. Fanbase doesn't love him. Will struggle in sched. MSU, overrated. Izzo's trips to Final Four are done. Parolees will likely Fiddle about...
