I have to believe that MN being competitive in the Big Ten, and has first rate facilities are the ancillary selling points. For certain needs, like center/wings can guaranty playing time. Obviously, guys like Mitchell, Hawkins, Garcia have input into what transfers are looking for other than...

I wouldn’t get too worked up about not landing a second team Summit League transfer. Have a little composure people. Everything is not life and death, black and white, etc. There will be positives coming out of this cycle of transfers.

I have high hopes for him as he falls well into the rotation. Obviously coach and he have discussed the future plan. He seems to have grown in height and width since the end of last season. 3-4 star recruit, best at position in CO, then he reclassified to gain a year of P5 instruction...

Yes, but Payne has 20lbs minimum on Morgan, has a lower center, has better hops, and occupies more space. I too was hoping he wouldn't dash for the cash, but that's our world. Ideally, get a physical 6'10"/260lb+ dude to shoot, rebound, and occupy space in the paint. Don't care if he can step...

Wasn't sold on him from get-go. Think we can do better and bigger than 6'9" center in Big Ten. Morgan seemed to me like another Philip Rebraca. Nice role player. MN undoubtedly got outbid $NIL with Berkshire Hathaway money. There are a lot of quality big men in portal, and my hopes are we...

This bodes well for negotiating leverage CBJ will have with potential incoming transfers.

If the state of MN and businesses in Mnpls can’t come up with NIL money for a competitive bb program in 2024, I am going to enter fan portal out. Like Kaiser Söze you’ll never see me again.

April 2023, he extended. Sorry.

When Hurley portals to Kentucky and SEC, that will shake things up a bit. Could happen imo.

Regarding Betts, if he wasn't already a Gopher, I'd be happy to take a 4-star SF, second best player in CO who reclassified a year early. He'll be a valuable part of '24-'25 as a stretch 3/4. By reclassifying, he was always going to be a project. Obviously, CBJ has had that conversation...

https://apple.news/AzQg1ROgnQsiOzaY9OmMWEw Would be a terrific get. There will be many more targets, so we’ll see how it goes.

A lot of players would love to be in Big Ten at the Barn, but weren’t highly recruited out of HS. Feeder programs hopefully will allow us to get a couple addnl overacheiving starters who can defend and be coached into playing better (ie Hawkins, Mitchell). I really like the optimism of the...

Just using the most current posted data on3.com portal listings

Here are the current number of players entered into the portal from all the Big Ten teams, with Illinois, Purdue still playing in NCAA tournament. Indiana--3 Iowa--3 Maryland--4 Michigan--4 Michigan St.--0 Minnesota--3 Nebraska--4 Northwestern--0 Ohio St.--1 Oregon--0 Penn St.--5 Rutgers--6...

Just for fun, let’s play “What if?”--What if the mopiness in the locker room from the three portal players is true. Garcia, Mitchell, Hawkins frustrated as the season winds down, knowing Carrington, Payne, and Ihnen are leaving, they go to CBJ with Fox and say, "Hey coach, we want to play...

2-17, 9-11

Everybody wants to win every game, but there are other teams. When I said MN was a middling Big Ten team, I meant it as a positive, an improvement in the right direction. I called a 10-10 conf record in the pre-season as a ceiling that would be terrific. 9-11 is a good step. I think guys...

Just a couple points from a CBJ supporter. I like him. I like the brand he coaches, and the in-game X's and O's are good. He has done a good job. The Univ. of Minnesota was VERY slow to acknowledge NIL as a legitimate process/policy that had to be embraced. Things were said, and I paraphrase...
