Koi was the first person I thought of. He was fantastic ballplayer for Esko and a great athlete. I suppose I was hoping for more ideas. Clearly it was silly of me to think folks at the Gopherhole would take it as a positive. It's impressive to see how many went pure negative on this idea. Well...

There we go! In this crazy world of no rules basketball, where might Niko get a guy who can help, even if it's just mainly in practice? Any just ended football kids who can bang it up? Any G league disappointment? Any Euro player who could get a run and some cash? What's possible?

How many dribbles do you count after the ball is blocked and going back the other way? Zero (Reynolds bobbles the catch). That is a picture perfect fast break. Grove hustled his butt off. The only thing missing was scoring some points as Grove clanked two awful freethrow attempts. But, yes, this...

No, really!? For the clueless here, this thread is about thinking outside the box when there aren't enough healthy players on the team to even practice well. I am very well aware that having a player from another sport join the basketball team is not realistic. I am also aware that it has...

I haven't blocked anyone, yet. I try to hear those with whom I disagree. But, I certainly can see why a person would use that feature.

In 3,2,1 USAF says "woe is me." 😏

I'd take Shikanjanski as well. Why not have good athletes cross over if you are so low on players? It certainly wouldn't make the team worse. But, Koi is the superior athlete.

I suspect you would have complained if John Wooden had coached here. Admit it, it pains you that the Gophers won tonight.

Do you believe in Miracles!?!

Did you ever see him play basketball in high school. It's likely he would have the highest vertical jump on the team. He nearly singlehandedly took Esko to State in basketball. He is a great athlete. He could help in practice for sure. There isn't another person on campus better than Koi Perich...

How are you going to get better players right now? I am open to suggestions. Basketball is far less dangerous than football.

Only in your narrow mind, USAF. Only in that very narrow mind that is incapable of thinking outside the box.

What is your out of the box solution?

Waiting for your solution. Read my op. Do I say he would start? Do I say he could help in practice? Share your out of the box solution.

So...how many practice players do we have in order to help this team? How close are we to being under ten guys with all the injuries we have. No sane person thinks we are going to win more than a couple games this year, but here I get to read how an excellent athlete, who could have played D1...

Incompetent may be correct. Meaning: "not having or showing the necessary skills to do something successfully." This is true with enough of Niko's roster to make winning in the B1G very difficult for this team. The question is how do we get the players necessary to win basketball games in...

Sadly, we will have to try slow the tempo and pray Indiana can't make 3 point shots while we get to every defensive rebound. Guard the paint and don't turn the ball over. This game will be similar to the 1980 USA hockey team against the Soviet Union. The question is...which game, the one at...

What about dem Cowboys!

Perich is an amazing athlete and Koi went toe to toe with Asuma in high school. I could see Koi being a great addition to the team, at minimum as a practice player. With Willis being out this team could use a guy like Perich to suit up and give us some assistance. Come on PJ, do Niko a solid and...

Any chance Koi Perich can join the basketball team and play this season? We're going to get a bad bowl game so why not get the kid on the hardwood. He has D1 athleticism and might be helpful.
