    How to measure success

    There's a bit of a conflict when you have upperclassmen transfers with professional hopes playing with freshmen. It was easier keeping them all on the same page last year...when they were all upperclassmen transfers. This should smooth out once our freshmen & recruits become juniors & sophomores.

    How to measure success

    I like posts that realize we're trying for a rebuild and that try to monitor the progress. Yes, we can monitor the progress...and we can even rip the Coach & AD if goals aren't being met. With a new coach, I look at recruiting. I'd rather have recruiting than transfers. I don't want...

    Thank You! Coach Johnson for Your Success Plan Underway!

    You guys who blast, mock, & ridicule Coach Johnson & the team daily try to claim that this is your way of supporting them. I'm not buying it. Venting is fine...but you guys are straight-up mud-slinging. And several of you have been exposed as Wisconsin, St. Thomas, Michigan State, Marquette...

    Gophers 7-foot recruit Dennis Evans gets triple-double in front of Ben Johnson in Vegas

    I wouldn't ban anyone. And I understand that a lot of this is simply a therapy session for long-suffering Gopher fans. Venting. But it does get over-the-top. Venting dissolves into mud-slinging. But even so...the thing to do is to simply counter these nonsensical rantings. And also to...

    Thank You! Coach Johnson for Your Success Plan Underway!

    I've already suggested that many of you need to step away for a while. You get too riled-up game by game. This is a ground-up rebuild, just like with Haskins...starting with our freshmen and next year's higher rated recruits. So step away...check the box scores to see how the freshmen are...

    Anything positive you can think of?

    Is this more of that unbiased analysis that I've been told takes place on here? It wouldn't simply be mud-slinging. Noooo...that would never happen by all these true Gopher fans.

    Thank You! Coach Johnson for Your Success Plan Underway!

    I've seen this a hundred times before. It's the norm. Most fans don't look past the current game...let alone the current season. If the team wins, the coach is a genius. If the team loses, the coach is a bum. Regardless of the circumstances. Fans don't have the patience to consider what...

    Thank You! Coach Johnson for Your Success Plan Underway!

    Great post. Don't listen to the win-instantly-today-or-else crowd on here. They will deny & deny that a ground-up rebuild should be the plan...but they're wrong.

    Anything positive you can think of?

    The idea was that Ben could recruit. And he already has a 5-star center on the way. And Christie seems good. Let's see if the can keep up the recruiting and build something.

    Anything positive you can think of?

    I'm looking for a big bump up in wins the year-after-next. I seriously want that Haskins-style ground-up rebuild. Start winning when CBJ's recruits are juniors & sophomores.

    Anything positive you can think of?

    Well we didn't clarify that this is a Gophers Positivity thread. Much of this thread is positive for all the Badgers, Spartans, and Tommies fans on here. I see the reports of big games from Christie got about 2 'likes'. Many on here don't like to see that.

    Why does anyone care what Xavier does?

    Anything positive you can think of?

    Xavier was 23-13 and won the NIT the year before Miller took over. Regardless, that has absolutely nothing to do with Coach Johnson's attempt for a ground-up rebuild here.

    STrib: Johnson had the only Big Ten team with three freshmen averaging at least 20 minutes per game in the first 11 games.

    If we're good in 2 years...I'm going to rub all your faces in it...game by game.

    Anything positive you can think of?

    Oh there is absolutely no doubt that you bashed Carr daily. And Pitino. And Haskins. And if Ben makes the Sweet-16 in 2 years...you will still rag on his overall record daily.

    STrib: Johnson had the only Big Ten team with three freshmen averaging at least 20 minutes per game in the first 11 games.

    It IS a few 10 point games right now. And competitive Big Ten play in the last 5 games. If freshmen can do that, they will probably be good players as juniors. And hopefully our higher-rated recruits are ready as sophomores.

    Marcus: St. Thomas already making its case as Minnesota's best Division I men's basketball team

    It finally comes out. You went to St. Thomas. That explains it. Just like another guy (I forgot, who was it?) who bashes the Gophers on here was finally outed as a Michigan State fan. It was also convenient to deny that you're Badger fans like I suspected. Hey fans of other teams are...

    STrib: Johnson had the only Big Ten team with three freshmen averaging at least 20 minutes per game in the first 11 games.

    I agree with a ground-up rebuild. I can wait...I want to wait and line-up good players at every position. I have patience...as long as progress shows in the freshmen's performance and in recruiting. But most fans don't have patience beyond the current game.
