With hopefully some transfer portal commitments on the horizon, I decided to make a record of the past commitment dates and will try to update as relevant. Spring 2021 - Ben Johnson hired March 22 Commitment Date TP Departures (10) - Carr, Kalscheur, Robbins, Mashburn Jr., Gach, Williams...

That's a great piece. I'm glad they faded at the injury.

Do we need another developmental combo guard from the HS class of 2022, like Carrington?

Let's summarize Eli King: Great athlete out of a MN high school with a good basketball ranking. Goes to Iowa State to play for TJO, which his was his brother's coach for awhile. In his first year he barely gets off the bench. He likely has a long ways to go to develop at the high-major...

I wonder if jobs at the U must be posted for a week (or some other time minimum) before someone can be hired. She may know who those assistants are already, but can't formalize that until the waiting period is over.

Here's a link to the full interview. There's a link in the video description to jump to the Coach P interview.

"anti-Frese" is a great headline!

Who wouldn't want a trip to Europe, Australia, or elsewhere in the offseason.

Who can remember when we got our transfer portal commitments from the last two years? I know I need patience, but trying to figure out how much.

Is Minnesota theming the upcoming season "The New Dawn" though who the old Dawn is, I'm not sure? Dawn Staley?

Here's the quote from the Strib piece: "It appears all four of former coach Lindsay Whalen's highly-touted 2022 recruiting class of Mara Braun, Mallory Heyer, Nia Holloway and Amaya Battle will return."...

You think the Strib's analysis of the lack of black coaches in the Big Ten and NCAA as a whole, when there is and has been a high percentage black players, is the reason the program is bad? I know it's easy to blame the "media elite" and the deep administrative state, but come on. Was there...

That's quite the list and includes a lot of Big Ten teams, if that's something he likes. Step 1: We're contacted him.

While very much the most likely scenario, wouldn't Marquette upsetting South Carolina be an amazing profile boost: MN hiring (and paying dearly for) the coach that beat UConn and South Carolina in the same season.

Regardless of how the transfer portal shakes out or how players develop in the offseason, there has to be a level of performance that cools Ben’s hot seat. Last place won’t do it. NCAA Tourney would be great, but that’s a big jump. Would making the postseason NIT be necessary? Here’s the Big...

The lesson for Marcus Jenkins and Ben: when burned by Kool-Aid twice, don't ever drink it again.

I'm not sure if this would help the program or himself, but anyone know if he's considering reclassifying to the 2023 class?

I like the Barn - when it's full. It is a great atmosphere. The reality is that there a lot of competition in this market for ticket dollars. I love the flexibility that Texas' arena has. Based on recent history for men's, women's, and volleyball, the top would often be blocked off. When...

In this article from August, Knueppel makes no mention of MN in his recruitment. It appears to be Asuma or bust.

Since Jenkins was the last assistant hired, and didn't seem to be the first choice, I was worried it wouldn't work out well. But with Henley, Betts, and now Evans, he seems to be more than pulling his weight. Hopefully these guys develop.
