Don't worry about DEI, "Minnesota Connections" or "Locking Down the Border". Find an established basketball coach and a self promoter that gets the snowball rolling uphill again.

That would be the best case scenario

So you are saying Mark Coyle will never have to leave the room to discuss the Gophers?

Sources say she is worn out from all the texts she has been receiving. 🤷‍♂️

Would we still do the hard hedge on defense?

We started the year by talking about all the depth Johnson had accrued on the roster and ended the year talking about the depth to which Johnson had sunk this program.

It's not apples to apples. True. But it has changed for everybody. You are competing against competition in the same landscape. So the results are still relevant. I'm not convinced that it is harder to turn around a program in this environment when you can recruit players to fill needs in a...

Well.....looks like we have exactly the scenario I was hoping to avoid back in November. So frustrating.

Nope

It takes time to build a culture scools. Year Zero! Brick by brick!

Did Mitchell do the ice water thing on that one?

Still waiting.......

But if the revenue sharing raises all boats in the B1G, we'd still have the same handicaps that have always prevented us from recruiting at an elite level. Stadium/weather/coach/tradition/lack of NIL/others. Unless you believe we will outspend other teams in the B1G (I'll believe it when I see...

That might be true but doesn't that become a "chicken or the egg" argument? How do you attract NIL donations with the record of the current coach? Part of his issue is he is so uninspiring and a perpetual expectations wet blanket. PJ Fleck with all his quirks works in the same environment but...

You aren't wrong but Pitino had an NCAA berth, an NIT championship, and NCAA consideration at some point in three of his first four years. This guy hasn't even been close in any of his first four years. So frustrating.

Probably too early to make projections at this point but I understand what you are saying here. Based on history can we even say the four names you listed (what is Cochran's situation also) will return? Unclear how happy any of them are behind the scenes. So difficult to be a Gopher...

I'd have 75% confidence the other way. I've thought for a couple months the NIL situation and the perception he wasn't given a fair shake as a result would be his life preserver. I still believe it. I guess I can only be pleasantly surprised at this point.

I must be getting older. I questioned why the Mavericks traded Doncic to the Lakers too. But did we all just watch the same season as all these sports writers falling in line? 7-13?

So this particular article needed to be written 1 day before the potential end of their season? The coordinated effort to keep him around is now to the bizarre phase.
