    Until we stop bargain bin shopping for coaches, the result will mostly be the same.

    Richard Pitino should be a cautionary tale for coaches that are looking at our situation. He had very little success here and suddenly he is looking a lot better at stinking New Mexico. There is no doubt his team would beat ours right now and would have last year as well. What is it that is...

    ***OFFICIAL NORTH TEXAS AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Yes and this is a year where, if we lose his recruiting class, so be it. It is not like he has a couple of 5 stars coming in. There seems to be no barrier to exit at this point other than the administration's will to win and go big with this. If they are going to just go get another up and...

    ***OFFICIAL NORTH TEXAS AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    One of the things that stands out to me about the Ben Johnson era is the lack of speed he has recruited at guard. He recruited 2 guys with plus speed for this level- Hawkins and Thiam. Christie has average Big Ten speed and a world class jumper. Mitchell has average speed. Carrington, Cooper...

    It doesn't appear that it is going to matter. Sadly.

    ***OFFICIAL NORTH TEXAS AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Ben has always run the offense with a lot of dribbling by the PG- Willis, Cooper, Hawkins all dribbled around a lot to start the offense. Willis could score and Hawk was so quick that he could get away with it and spring things open. A slow guard like Patterson or Odukale dribbling at the top is...

    They had a chance to field a really solid squad this year if they would have paid Hawkins and Payne. But the school fell behind on the NIL race and lost their chance. Nobody is going to sign here with out a big commitment for their own pocket and a load of guaranteed NIL for the recruits.

    ***OFFICIAL NORTH TEXAS AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    No decent coach will take this job without a good NIL commitment. Honestly I think the only way you are going to get big money committed is if we pay huge for a big time coach that has gotten it done at a high level. Then the money will come in. I don't think Niko Medved is going to drive locals...

    Probably 3000 people there tonight. The don't care level was so bad that after scoring 3 baskets against NORTH TEXAS in the first half no one booed the effort.

    How Ben thinks it is a good idea for Odukale to bring the ball up and initiate the offense is beyond me. That's nuts. Patterson looks to be a less savvy version of Taurus Samuels. Ben has to let Asuma run the offense, he is the only kid with enough quickness and ability to do it. Let him...

    ***OFFICIAL OMAHA AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I had to watch this game on tape today. It just looks like a team that doesn't really know who is going to do what yet. That is understandable with a pretty much remade roster. It seems bad that we had to struggle, but on the other hand it might have felt a whole lot better with decent three...

    All Things Class of 2025 Gophers Basketball Recruiting Thread

    All true or possible. The problem now is that it is easy to just wait and see. You can get good tickets for any game so the motivation for getting season tickets has gone down the drain. If they were smart, they would give season ticket holders 30-40% off for a few seasons just to regain some...
