I imagine they have a really nice buyout fund now, huh?

Geez, did Ben shit in his Wheaties?

This has been my position for some time. It’s not that the U administration supported him so poorly, he was either unwilling or unable to fundraise and build excitement for his program. Semi related point: I have taught at a couple of the Breck/Blake style schools in the country and the Head of...

I'm pretty sure bruster is the only person saying that. The consensus on the Hole and on Twitter is that he would be nice to bring along if possible.

He just earned an ignore from me as well.

Love that we got two conditional qualifiers in his prediction

lol I completely forgot about

Pitino also had Kevin Dorsey get in trouble, and Jarvis Johnson never play. Coffey season ending injury. He seemed to gamble on character and was a bit snake bitten by injury.

I just discovered Dain Dainja is playing for Memphis against our Colorado State Rams tomorrow. He averaged an impressive 14 points/7 rebounds on 62% shooting this year.

I was comparing Tim Brewster and Johnson.

Some interesting parallels/contrasts. Neither had ever been a head coach. Brewster was a huckster who had no ties to Minnesota and people tired of his hype and used car sales personality. Ben had plenty of ties to the state but didn’t seem interested or able to sell the program.

I'm no expert on Dave Thorson but my early 2000's Minnehaha teams made a habit of losing to De La Salle, and yes they had excellent defense.

This is where I'm at as well. Let Niko choose his own staff. Just because Thorson was on staff doesn't mean he was utilized well.

I was looking for a tongue in cheek emoji when I wrote that but couldn't find it.

He has 3 guys who are seeing significant time who have eligibility: Kyan Evans (6'2" 175 sophomore guard, 28 mpg, 10 pts 3 assists 43% 3PT, 87% FT) Jaylen Crocker-Johnson (6'8" 230 lb soph forward, 21 mpg, 9 ppg, 4 reb, 39% 3PT, 75% FT) Rashaan Mbemba (6'7" 250 lb soph forward, 19 mpg, 60% fg, 7...

Let's get Nique Clifford another year as long as Garcia has one too.

Those are good points. 4 more years of demonstrating sustained success matters to me. And continuing to develop players is an important skill. He would not be an "on the job training" hire. On Pitino, I remember marveling at his spring recruiting acumen back in the early days. I imagine he is...

Honestly I could get excited about anybody at this point. Medved is interesting to me. Someone else mentioned Tim Miles really built up Colorado State, and Larry Eustachy had success before he was fired for bad behavior (although they were 11-21 the year he was fired). Developed players like...

Strange away wins, baffling home losses.

No.
