Short version needed? Few's recruits sucked from 2003-2010, at least in comparison to more recent recruits. Few's recruits from 2011-2015 were better. Few's recruits from 2016-2020 have been/are much, much better than the ones from 2003-2010. Results in the NCAA tourney bear this out.

They never really have. There was a time way back in the day when Gopher Track teams were among the best in the nation, but they haven't come close, as a team, for 6-7 decades now. They just never invested any money towards upgrading facilities or hiring the caliber of coach who could have...

NO!!! I am NOT saying Pitino is better than Few. And Few is highly thought of by who? COACHES??? I didn't say "coaches" didn't respect him. I said cbb FANS didn't respect Gonzaga or the WCC or the SOS's of WCC teams. They may have respected Few, maybe even felt he was a good coach, but...

We NEVER should have hired Pitino in the first place. But I just don't think two wrongs make a right, or doing something worse doesn't fix a situation that isn't wonderful. I'm Ok if Coyle chooses to go in a different direction, but I'm also ok if he chooses to stick with Pitino now that he's...

No, it's not a bit. Before the 2015 season, the vast majority of the cbb FANS I conversed with did not consider Gonzaga a legit cbb power. And I wouldn't be surprised if I conversed with TEN TIMES as many cbb fans, maybe 100 times more than the average GH poster, as the vast majority of you all...

Then how come they crapped their pants come March Madness??? After those first 2 seasons, just one of the next 13 did they do better in the NCAA tourney then they were predicted to do, but FIVE TIMES they did worse.

Those first 2 seasons had how many of HIS players on them? And the team Pitino inherited was hardly a team coming off an Elite 8 trip. And Tubby was given FULL credit for his Natl Title at Kentucky? And you call me a tool? lol

Hey, I've enjoyed how in the past our BB Arena has been lauded as a classic Arena and one of the Top rated home arenas in the country. I remember back to the mid 70s when UMn actually led the nation in cbb attendance. BUT... Thing is, something happened since then, the whole Clem fiasco...

Name me the cbb equivalent of PJ Fleck. Go on, name me the guy I can go, YEP, that's the cbb version of PJ Fleck. While you are trying to figure out who that is, ponder this... We let go of Tubby, for good reasons, but our previous AD thought it would be smart to bring a guy with little to...

First of all, I trust Coyle, so if he thinks he can bring in the bb version of Fleck, I'm all for it and I'll wish the absolute best and future success to our young Pitino and I'll feel badly as I think he's trying his darnest to make something work here. So now my contribution to why we should...

So instead we should put BLIND FAITH in a new coach???

Over the last 20+ years, I frequented several cbb forums and was almost always the only Minnesota fan at those sites, so I know that most of you goofy fans here at GH don't venture out and mingle with cbb fans of other schools much, outside of creeping around Badger sites or Hawkeye sites on...

Not his first 13 seasons, his 3rd to 15th seasons. And it's my whole point, Gonzaga gave Few a 13 year pass, where they had 5 seasons where they couldn't even meet the expectations their NCAA tourney seed would suggest was expected of them and only 1 out of 13 seasons where they surpassed...

They also beat Clemson and Okla St, have swept Ohio St, and beat Top 25 ranked PSU. UMn is ranked #44 in the NET rankings. Going only by that, they'd be ranked 4th in the ACC, 5th in the Big 12, 5th in the Pac, and 6th in the SEC. So railing on about their being 12th in the B1G in a year...

So a #1 seed, a #2 seed, TWO #3 seeds and a #4 seed, and only 2 trips to the Sweet 16??? That's a coach with a team that's gotten overrated. Or it's an overrated coach? Then a #6 seed and a #7 seed that both lost in the FIRST ROUND. That's 5 out of 13 seasons that ended in disappointment.

Where did you get your information? The Gonzaga website? lol I explained it all but I guess you are too STA-STA-STA-Stoopid to understand simple math. 2001-02 - 6 seed - lost in 1st round - DISAPPOINTMENT. 2002-03 - 9 seed - lost in 2nd round - No better than expected. My guess is you...

I think the 2017 team, had Springs not been injured, would have had a shot at making a decent enough of a run. They finished 4th in the conference that year. And then the following season could have been pretty special as well, had we not been hit so hard by the injury bug. Both of those...

WAS overrated. But after being given a 13 year free pass to grow and learn and build his roster up over time, well, it would be different if every program out there could afford to give their coaches so much time to develop and learn and grow and build up their roster.

All of you Mark Few fans/apologists look at his accomplishments and compare them to Minnesota, and Monson, a school that was hit with some of the worst sanctions and restrictions and whose reputation took one of the worst hits EVER. But believe whatever you all want. If my team is going to the...

Oh, yeah, going from 8 wins to 24 is so average and typical, isn't it? lol Oh wait, Pitino came one win away from breaking the NCAA record I believe? And yes, I understand the difference between turning around a football program and a bb program. I'm not saying Medved is a sure fire home run...
