Xavier checking in at #4

For Today only on 247 at 2:45PM: 20 Committed 8 Entered 1 Withdrawn The total committed by my count is 244 guys so far.

Mpoyi is the gigantic Gopher X factor. I agree with the high potential label. And ya, I think those numbers are pretty representative of what's going on...so $10M seems pretty close to the floor budget wise...but I think that's probably the requirement now and it seems we probably don't have it.

If these are the prices for the top 25 guys...I doubt it drops to $1M for anybody top 100. So, top 100 to 200 might be $1M? Or are they still $2M. $7M doesn't go far with 15 guys.

I think we are of similar thought... I don't think Iowa will replace Stirtz with another 1st round draft choice but I think they'll get a good coachable point guard. And I think that will get to them to a similar place as a team. They have 3 young perimeter shooters who shoot 40% from 3 and...

I agree with you. The other scenario is the possibility these guys are not having their deals renewed by the Gophers. Maybe they can stay at a free or reduced rate idk..everybody only has 15 roster spots....so maybe they can't stay. Or they can jump in the portal to find a new opportunity...

In the illustration...if you are a closer he doesn't get to Iowa. And in NIL fantasy money if you tack on another $200k to help you close the deal imo that's a closer. I offer my opinion based on what I read. I try to learn what $ amounts seem to be consistent. I often answer questions on...

There you go...I like it!

After the last 25 years, I'd just like to see us finish Top 4 in the conference somewhat consistently. It's an important time on the calendar and for a team that needs 6 or 7 new guys....what we waiting for? All the higher rated guys to choose somebody else to play for? A lotta teams had at...

Wow! Thank you! I had no idea I wasn't in position to negotiate contracts for the Gophers. I'm on message board offering takes for people to disagree with and boost their own self esteem telling me what an idiot I am. That's my position. I'm aware what my place is. Thank you, though for your...

Good point, it's all new, idk. Kentucky spent $22M and was unhappy. Michigan spent a lot and was pleased. Iowa had 15 new guys and has one in the portal. Purdue and Michigan St maybe nobody? Wisconsin is hurting. I think it's a school by school basis, year by year...you have new coaches in...

There are good closers and bad closers. We are not batting at a high percentage so far.

You gotta translate that for me....consensus says you evidently disagree but that's all i got....?

We apply for jobs differently. I definitely do some research and rank the jobs. I'm all over the one I want. I expect to get it. Sometimes you interview and decide...hmmm I don't wanna work here. Sometimes you know at the interview your chances are weak. But most of the time, I pick the job...

I'm not looking at it from the Kyan perspective. I wanna close deals. I'm looking at it from the Minnesota perspective.

If Evans is a lock, as some have said. What the heck is he doing visiting Iowa? Why would we let it go there? Pretty sure I could convince him Iowa has a better chance to be in the tournament again than Minnesota. Minnesota is offering X you say...we'll give you X+2....done I'm a Hawkeye...

I think she makes it. She’s also got Whalen invested in her. Hoping she flourishes!

"Braun is a great 3-point shooter when she is wide open" you and I can see that but evidently the coaches cannot. Our offense does nothing to get her open looks. She's not good at beating someone off the dribble....she is quick enough imo...just hasn't been taught how. Set some screens for...

We get one of the Fortune 500 companies to hire Chris Voss every year for two weeks when the portal opens. He does in house training for the company for half the day and closes portal guys for the Gophers the other half of the day. Matas loves nature, misses the forests of Lithuania...you...

Matas Deniusas would be a great a great addition to the roster. 6-9 FR Story. Isaac Celiscar would be an excellent guard addition. 6-6 So. from Yale Then add Kyan Evans Hopefully, we close these 3 guys tomorrow. We have possibly met with all 3 in person from reports.
