Confident we will play 8 or 9, if everybody is healthy. But, who doesn't play? And maybe, depending who we play, it's not the same 9...insert "bigs". I think as much emphasis as was put on recruiting Grady and Groves they'll play more than most are suggesting. Grady is a big time...

Have you seen Lorenson confirmed on the roster some place or just going on he didn't enter the portal? He is not in season stats on ESPN. I thought he got in a couple games...but no? So, did he redshirt?

I think we know JCJ, Evans, Durkin and Asuma are kinda captains, if you will. Groves and Grady wouldn't be here if they were not assured they are important parts on the floor playing. That's 6. Five of them are guard like, but Niko likes to play small. Grove-7, Kordel - 8, Palmer - 9...

More physical than Evans, more proven point production than Grady and Groves at the college level. Like I said in the Kai threads...I expected a guard addition...just probably not one with this combination of potential and experience. Great add to the roster. But, also a work in...

Gopher Men’s Basketball ticket revenue has dropped significantly, falling to $2.11 million in FY25 from over $5 million in FY18, representing a 58% decrease. Despite overall record athletic department revenue, men's basketball ticket sales continue to decline, while the 2025-26 season projects a...

There was this... Demry It can't be a nuthin' burger if you are PJ. He's in his third year in the program and he has listened to the standards every day. He's not just a captain, a quarterback...he's been groomed to be the leader of the team, the guy who lives the standards. And now he's got...

No worries...you knew he wouldn't hit you.

I think you are taking the forecasts too literal. I pay no attention to who they are picking to play in the Pinstripe Bowl or the Mayo Bowl...that is silly, I agree. But what I am curious about: is who is forecast as a bowl team and who is left out? Basketball...same thing, the seeds beyond...

Big Ten Basketball Portal Hauls ranked from MaizenBrew

Selection Sunday probably has an educated guess...how many of Lunardi's 11 seeded Big Ten teams in April won't make the NCAA Tournament? How many different teams of the 6 not named will get in? My guess is he's not far off. Therefore I don't see the disdain...all we got in April is speculation.

Joe Lunardi's 2027 NCAA Men's Basketball Bracketology ESPN Joe has 11 Big Ten teams in the NCAA Tournament. With a 12th, Oregon in his First Four Out. Michigan and Michigan St #1 Seeds Illinois #2 Seed Purdue and Nebraska #5 Seeds USC #6 Seed Indiana #7 Seed UCLA, Wisconsin, Ohio St as #9 Seeds...

Oregon ... starting over... Oregon Portal update (April 29, 2026) Oregon has 8 guys in the outgoing portal and had 6 seniors on the roster last year. So, they probably have room for 4 or 5 more additions to go along with these 10 guys. Fred Payne PG Boston College 6-1 Soph 15.8 ppg 4.2 reb...

Replying to Costa Rican Gopher: Sure, I can agree with that. But, last year we accomplished more with that limited talent than anyone could expect. We finished 11th, totally amazing with our talent and injuries. Is that team performance duplicatable? We do have better talent this year, I...

I know this is a talker, but it shouldn't be a serious question. The same guy responsible for losing to eventual National Champion Indiana by 3 points in the Big Ten Championship is the same guy evaluating and closing the deals on all these highly rated players. Managing the Ohio State...

He was good as a freshman and DC Hetherman left to get Miami into the National Championship. I'd say coaching was a contributor to the decline in performance of Koi and our defense.

:) A little snarky but I think there is truth there and we could be pretty good. Always seems fragile though...staying healthy and getting off to a 7 and 0 start going into Indiana would be a good formula. 5 Home games and at Washington and at Purdue.

I do envy what Wisconsin has accomplished the last 25 years. I agree it is definitely system based. I like your analogy and I can see Niko establishing something similar at Minnesota. And Wisconsin develops players each year where you go..."Aw come on, how can they be this good?" (or this...

They likely are not overrated on talent but I like you am a little skeptical they are the 14th best team in the country. Musselman has had chemistry problems on his teams the last few years at Arkansas and USC and now he has probably his most talented team on ever on paper....can he get them to...

I'm not ruling it out. But, to accomplish it will take another amazing coaching accomplishment by Niko. Remember, we were 15 and 18. To get there was a mighty struggle. There are 12 teams in the Big Ten clearly better on paper. If things go well, I'd agree we can get to 9th, 10th and in the...

The Gophers by their roster construction are choosing a starting line behind most teams in the conference. The other teams are developing proven contributors at the college level. We are choosing to develop guys with little college production but with nice potential at the college level. The...
