zero doubt on becoming a Gopher

Not scoffing at 9.3 but they have no where to go but up. 7th place is a lousy season at MSU. They were 8th the year before but made the final 4 without Christie.

Christie averaged 9 points per game.

Your entitled to your opinion. Mine is that Fleck has the program in the best place it has been in a very long time. Sure his personality could rub some the wrong way but this program needed a salesman and a coach and it got both.

They only had to be dominant against peers to make the Hall of fame. Pretty dame impressive.

Hudson, Brewer, Thompson, Kevin M.. Not even close for me.

Great post. They have lost a ton of in state talent but have made up for it under recruited out of state players that were developed very well. Frank K., Happ, Alando Tucker, Hayes and all the way back to Vershaw, Jon Bryant, Leurer, Jordan and Kam Taylor. Scouting, coaching, defense, efficiency...

Thanks for making it clear. They had recruits from outside the state that were not recruited by blue bloods to get to final 4's and several Minnesota players won conference titles. My apologies for such poor and misleading writing. Jon Bryant played a huge role on the 2000 final 4 as regional...

Agree. Love the way they do things.

Ah, tough guy bully with the keyboard. Your not the boss of the board or in the position of policing other posters information or opinions. H e recruited several poor characters and was a lousy coach. Far from hate. You do not decide for me what you call hate.

Agree. UW was able to take many kids from Minnesota that were not blue blood type recruits and win several conference titles and get to a few final 4's. Of course they have had far better coaching from scouting to development to playing efficiently. That is the Ben Johnson plan.

Think your right. UW has achieved success without locking down the borders. Still locking for a program this century that was built by locking down the borders.

Huge fan of a tough schedule but that is easier said then done.

UW never offered him. Most of a states top players do not stay home anyway.

Anyone wanting Fleck fired even if under .500 this year must not be paying attention. But he will eventually have to win conference titles to make the HOF.

Conference titles and Rose Bowl wins are what make champions and HOF members. Fleck will have to win titles. Hope he does it, big fan.

Can list several that were not good students before coming here and taking many easy classes. It is not impressive to me when you see what they actually studied. I do not need to list their names and throw them under the bus. People do not need to speak for me when it comes to Pitino. I do not...

I enjoy the St. Thomas updates. Many things are posted on here about other college basketball players, coaches and programs.

It is 10 times easier here than Stanford and we are not 10 times more difficult than Houston or TT to get into. I agree that there are not many elite academic schools that are successful at sports. I consider us to be pretty much equal to UW but not academically elite . Suppose some of it is...

Pitino got several poor students in school here as well as poor characters.
