    Niko’s roster construction

    I was kind of hoping for 2 or 3 of the CSU players to follow Niko to MN. Not that we can’t land just as good transfers from elsewhere, but to bring familiarity with program and system. JCJ is the only one that knows what Niko expects and can be the role model for his teammates. Would have been...

    Niko’s roster construction

    Once, for a joke (even if it’s not funny), I can put up with. Keeping it up is too much like the idiot that called Pitino “little Ricky” for his entire time at MN. That was just being a jerk.

    Niko’s roster construction

    C’mon Slim Tubby. I’m already tired of the “Nacho” bit. If you’re trying to be cute or funny: it’s not. If you’re trying to be a dink: I had always thought you were better than that.

    SJSU center Robert Vaihola commits to Gophers!!

    Just finished the rest of his highlights. Definitely a “below the rim” player. I can’t remember seeing another big man highlight reel without a single dunk. The good news is he’s broad as a barn. If he pins an opponent deep they can’t get around that backside. He’s got good footwork and finishes...

    SJSU center Robert Vaihola commits to Gophers!!

    Looks like DJ Burns from NC State’s Final Four team. Definitely a “softer” 260 lbs than John Thomas! No hops. All position and strength. Looks like a nice passer. Will stamina be an issue?

    SJSU center Robert Vaihola commits to Gophers!!

    Beefy. Can probably hold his rebounding position! But can he get off the floor? I see he averages almost 1.5 blocks per game, so he must be able to hop a little. Like that he averaged 2 assists also.

    Dawson Garcia returning

    I’d argue that Herschel Walker was the worst. Although the others mentioned were bad, I think both parties knew what they were getting and giving up. I believe Mike Lynn didn’t understand what he would be giving up when he acquired Herschel. While giving up a boatload of valuable roster players...

    Staff Announced

    Geez. This just triggered a massive flashback that included platform shoes and disco music!

    Uhhh…Tubby didn’t.

    ***OFFICIAL NIKO MEDVED OPENING PRESS CONFERENCE THREAD!!!***

    One wonders if he will retain Thorson as an assistant? Would that continuity be beneficial with the HS commits?

    It would be a Peyton Willis move…

    Johnson: “I have some personal pride that I’ll be the only minority coach in the league. I take that with a badge of honor."

    This is the problem. Ben is proud of something over which he had no control or influence: the color of his skin. Of course his coaching performance (which he has control over and is responsible for) is not something to be proud of.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS NORTHWESTERN BIG TEN TOURNAMENT WEAKLING WEDNESDAY IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    What used to be loathed is now celebrated. Because we suck even more.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT RUTGERS IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I’ve never rooted against the Gophers. But this year I can’t get worked up about them win or lose. Nice if they win, but meh if they don’t. Just another nail in Johnson’s coffin (which should have been in the ground long ago).

    All Things 2024-25 College Basketball Coach Fired/Hired/Retired Thread

    Dammit. I see this thread at the top of the feed and my hopes soar. Only to get here and find it is a different school with the balls to move on from a bad coach that’s better than ours.

    STrib: An uncertain future, yet hope for Gophers coach Ben Johnson, who foresees a program with more resources

    Ben is feeling the heat. His entire statement is “I”’not “we” which sounds defensive. Don’t blame me for our bad performance, I’ve never had the resources needed to win. Goodbye and good riddance.
