So that multiplies to round numbers $2 million dollars of our $20 plus million bucket.

Across all sports...how many DI athletes are there in Minnesota? Not many. There is some delusion but overall it becomes apparent to most that there are a lot more kids more talented than theirs...say AAU basketball and you travel to tournaments with much better athletes and talent.

The starting line in life is not the same for everybody. I am sure when PJ talks about the right fit he has criteria. Experience has taught him what works most often...I just speculated that two parent families might be preferred? DT has a father in prison...one size doesn't fit all. Just...

I also coached AAU basketball ....had nearly 40 kids get offered scholarships through a lot of phone calls...only a couple of those were major DI schools. This was in four or five summers. I would say the majority of those parents thought they were parent of the year because they spent the...

Aren't you the prize...your intuition meter is off by a very long ways. Your perception is even worse but you keep bashing people if it helps you get through the day. My Dad is my hero! He accomplished more during his lifetime as a teacher, coach and parent than anyone who entered my life...

I think you give parents too much credit. I maintain very few parents even know who their kid is. When parents find out in a specific instance what PJ's view point is...because it is relayed back at some point in a family disagreement...then the fireworks begin. They disagree with PJ. In most...

Two solutions: 1. Enroll someone new after Christmas...somebody from Europe who is suddenly available, eligible and very talented. OR, somebody who maybe was recovering from injury and wasn't healthy this fall and therefore didn't have offers they liked but is anxious to play now...and...

Is it?

Beating Wisconsin alone is almost a B by itself. Finishing 5 and 4 in an 18 team Big Ten drags it to a B for me. Kicking Nebraska was also satisfying. Yes, losing to Cal and NW are PJ traits....coulda pretty easily been 9 and 3, so it's frustrating but... If I said C it would be because we...

And what point guard do we have that you'd say is better than IW.? And on potential IW could be great....well...maybe....potential to be almost great. Asuma has potential but he is invisible 90% of the time. And I forgot to mention Greenlee who was a huge part of Florida Atlantic's Final Four...

Richard Pitino knows point guards: Any of Nate Mason, Marcus Carr, DeAndre Mathieu, Amir Coffey, even Isaiah Washington and of course Donovan Dent would make this team immeasurably better.

We don't have size. We don't have Big Ten athletes. We don't have Big Ten talent, other than Tyson. Lack of size, length or quickness makes development difficult at this level for the future...to actually be good we need different players and/or different talent evaluators. When it comes to...

Year 9 used to matter. Now, the rules change every year. The players used to stay at one school. We need better assistant coaches and fhat evidently requires you pay them more money, Minnesota is unwilling to do that. Missouri is 3 and 4 in the SEC...they just signed their coach up for a...

Pretty crazy how closely this mirrors the standings. Not completely confident if we spent the money we would do it well enough to see a significant boost.but we do need two new coordinators.

You know, some people might say that is gracious of you...others might say that's in poor taste. I will say, I did laugh. Go Gophers! What we need to do is to assist Niko in findjng some better players. $$$

Evaluation and coaching.. Indiana identifies the same level of recruit but they choose guys they feel confident will fit their scheme. At Minnesota the defensive scheme is the issue, not the players. I don't watch Kingsbury and Baranowski and say if only we had better linebackers. Our...

Agree with you but, the fact he is getting minutes is part of the problem. Vaihola is a big part of our team. He does a bunch of non box score things. He is our enforcer, his big body sets screens for Tyson to get shots off and seals the route for guys to drive uncontested to the rim..

Tools: Asuma looks good in photos all dressed up in his clean uniform.

I think it's set up for us to crush Wisconsin.

8 and 4 would be so much better than 6 and 6. 8 and 4 and I pay attention to the bowl game. 8 and 4 we got the axe! 6 and 6 we lose recruits and maybe roster guys.
