I agree with you. Maybe that is not how Ben operates.

I agree. I hate that the diversity hire thing keeps being floated around. You guys are crazy if you think that Ben Johnson was the most qualified black coach interested in the job. I think he sold Coyle on in-state recruiting and his relationships with the local AAU programs. The diversity thing...

I would offer him, but I also don't think not offering him is a big deal as well. He was okay this weekend for Pulley but he definitely didn't look like he did during the state tournament run. Mekonnen looked much better for D1 as well as Groves (not as much as Mekonnen). I love Jackson's...

Best offensive player for sure. He still has a lot of room to grow defensively. He’s not a good rebounder for his size.

He finished the season strong but Northern Iowa was as recruiting much harder than Creighton. Multiple Pulley players & coaches have said the same thing

He was recruiting Freitag. I’ve seen them at Jefferson games. He focused his attention on Asuma instead. It’s not like Freitag has been getting new hoops offers. It seems like more teams are backing off then hooping on. As far as McAndrews, it seems there was interest but then that went away and...

Has he not? Half of our current roster is from Minnesota & he already has 1 commit from the same class as McAndrews. He also offered Groves & is after Mekonnen. We can’t say he hasn’t done his work as far as local recruiting

Nothing & this guy stats indicates he will be worse

Agree but I don’t like the Wilson pick up. How is an improvement from Treyton Thompson? I would haven’t taken a freshman unless they were a high super high potential guy, but I wouldn’t give a basketball scholarship to an OL.

Nothing is wrong with Mountain West coaches. I wanted Smith or Gates who were low & mid major coaches. My original point was this isn’t a good job. We won’t ever get the cream of the crop coach during the hiring cycle. We don’t pay enough or have the financial backers.

I watched this kid destroy Chatman in the Border Battle. This is a really good get

How do we actually know the interested qualified coaches? Unless your talking bout the Mountain West guys. Which still proves my point that we are attractive to a low to mid major coach looking to take the next step but I doubt we would be the final destination for that guy. We wouldn’t never...

This definitely wasn’t considered a good job if it was we wouldn’t have hired back to back coaches with minimum to no head coaching experience. I think we as fans overrate this job. This is an attractive job for a low to mid major HC but not to the level we think

I don’t agree. I think we are conservative as a institution when it comes to paying money to keep up with others. Tubby cried for a practice facility while we were going to the tourney n it didn’t happen until midway through Pitino’s tenure. I will say money was flowing probably during Thompson...

I think his worry was losing freshmen to the portal (even though it still happened) I think Ben is focused on his development of the 2022 Class so they can be his core for the 24-25 season. JOJ, Carrington, & Payne will be juniors, Betts & Christie will be sophomores, Garcia will decide if he...

Mekonnen from Eastview is a better prospect than McAndrews. We have a realistic shot at him and Groves (even though I don't think he belongs in the Big Ten). We have Asuma already committed. I don't feel like this is a miss or a need. He was good in the state tourney but isn't a can't-miss...

I highly doubt it. Bryce Young was projected to make millions

He went to Northern Alabama he probably never had a first giant wedding

Agree but it’s much harder to do in basketball because the limit number of roster spots and you would basically have to be locked in to portal recruiting as a constant way to fill your roster. If we had a stronger NIL program, then I think it would be easier bc we would have something to offer...

Def not Jamison type. He is a lot less skilled. He def is a good shot blocker & a much better defender.
