Cochran is a post up guard, built like a tank.....another back it in dribbler. Not a volume three point shooter but does shoot it ok- 34%. He had some games where he put up big numbers at Toledo and he did average 15+ per game. His career assists are around 2 per game, but he gets boards at a...

Somehow he has convinced the 3 HS recruits that he is going to be here...so what you said may well be possible. I have no idea how they can drum up the NIL Ben would need to compete- considering his past track record. And... is the U willing to absorb another beating at the box office? If this...

We are going to see a lot of bad match ups this year regardless of how we line up. This is one of the slowest teams I have seen at this level.

Quite possible. That said, the offensive scheme they have won't work with this group of slowsters. We need to work the ball inside and then back out and that has never been a steady feature of Ben's offenses- unfortunately. He is and has been a perimeter dribbling coach. Hawkins was the only...

Elijah Hawkins has played 2 games for Texas Tech- must have been injured for their first 2 games. Averaging 8.5 points and 8 assists per game...in just 19 minutes per game. Oof we miss him badly.

Agreed. I'd add that I think that the jury might be out on Edmunds who has had some moments where he looked like he belonged.

You make a point. By mid season the guys might be relieved to go on the road...less pressure.

What's it looking like now? :) When Garcia goes down on the block, the opponent has 2-3 guys on him down there because they don't fear the pass from him at all. The reason I suggested that lineup is because a big like Edmunds or Mitchell would get one man on them and they could easily get an...

We will have to see how efficient we are on defense when we are playing Big Ten teams. Right now the defensive end is our only hope.

I think we have an opportunity that is greater than before to sign good HS recruits- except for the status of our current coach. In years past the top 25 teams have been loading up on the top 100 HS players. Now, they are still recruiting them but they also are recruiting older guys from teams...

I will get killed for saying this on this site but I would rather go big and play Garcia at the 3 than play Femi there for more than 15 minutes a game. Try this going big: 5 Edmunds or Mitchell 4 Fox 3 Garcia 2 Mitchell/Cochran 1 Asuma or Medium 5 Mitchell 4 Garcia 3 Rigsby 2 Mitchell 1...

Year 1 and 2 slow guards at the point (Willis was a great scorer but not a real PG). Year 3 Speedy guard in Hawkins. Year 4 - back to slow guards. Asuma needs to be the guy at the top (not sitting in the corner where Ben has him). Let him make mistakes and figure it out NOW, get him ready for...

Unless something changes, he has to be a situational player who gives us 15 minutes of defense when we need it or has a special assignment of stopping the opposition's scoring guard/small forward. He is just terrible on the offensive end and the idea that he brings it up court a lot is just...

When you stop having people that are 110 one way or 110 the other way, it generally means that very few care any more. We are in an era now where other than a few fans, Gopher basketball is now into the realm of: "Did the Gophers play a game? Did they win? They did? Oh that's nice." That is...

I just don't get why Femi brings the ball up court. Bring it up with pace with Asuma. Agreed on Patterson. Too slow.

He is a really good defensive player, but he is sooo bad on the offensive end. Ouch. Ben has to keep him as a screener and not a ball handler in this offense. 5 TOs so far

Femi and Rigsby dribble way too much. Asuma is moving the ball. That's what we need.

Build a new arena on parking lot 37 land off 5th street. When it is done- tear the Barn down and make that area a parking lot for football, basketball and hockey...

I hope we get him- but recruiting has to be tough right now.

McNeese beats North Texas...
