I don't want to come off as a downer here (and realize it will come off as such) but this just doesn't move the needle for me. Have we really evolved into a program that takes New Hampshire role players and gets excited about it? His shooting numbers are horrible and we need capable shooters...

I know it's important to recruit nationally, but 2022 is the perfect time to reverse the trend and show that MN kids belong as Gophers. Tre Holloman, Cam Heide, Eli King would be massive in bringing this program back to Big Ten and national relevancy. That'd be a hell of a guard/wing haul in a...

Doesn't seem likely that Holloman will end up actually playing 2 sports in college, but doesn't mean it'd be impossible if he was 100% committed to that plan (esp. a year or more from now). Jameis Winston, Kyler Murray, Russell Wilson, our own Eric Decker, etc all played 2 sports in college...

This dude is just what the doctor ordered for Minnesota. Well rounded combo forward who is especially known for his shooting abilities. Hope Johnson can find a way to add him to the 2021 class.

Seems like a decent enough add (not sure what the expectations are from ppl, we aren't Duke). That being said, he doesn't do anything to help our outside shooting woes. It's absolutely imperative that Coach Johnson adds a few solid perimeter shooters to compliment some of these guys, especially...

Cold hard cash.

Yeah, I'd expect a 11th/12th place finish with a lineup like that next year. Luckily, I believe Ben will assemble talent to form a starting 5 better than that. I can't imagine its his goal to have Gach or Ihnen in the starting lineup next year.

Never in my wildest dreams would I expect all those players to come home, or anything close. Where did I state that? I simply made a list of Minnesota guys in the portal (or speculated to be entering the portal) who could potentially be Gophers next year. I'm sure Ben Johnson is going to be...

Personally I have more question marks about El Amin than Fox. Fox is freakishly athletic, has some nifty body control around the basket, and can attack off the dribble. His rim protection also translates anywhere.

Are you really going to deflect the original point by pretending like El-Amin, Battle, Race, Fox, and Garcia wouldn't absolutely wipe the floor against Mash, Tre, Mutaf, Omersa, and Freeman? I'll take any of those guys in a heart beat. Let's see where were at when we know what guys will be...

If you truly think the guys who have transferred out from Gophers are in the same realm as the Minnesota guys I mentioned you have lost your mind.

And the crazy thing is we might be better because of it. All the players transferring from the Gophers are low grade players outside of Mash. The only 2 I care about keeping are Gabe and Robbins. By my math this leaves 7 open scholarships to fill. This leaves adequate room for Jamison Battle...

Frankly, I'd be fine if neither of them end up here. I don't see either of them as being a key piece of a strong Gopher team in future years. Would rather we save those scholarships + ones freed up by additional transfers to hit the transfer portal hard and have a larger 2022 class in terms of...

Anyone else feel like Illinois should be more worried about a Sweet 16 clash with Oklahoma State than a potential Elite 8 matchup against Houston. I think the Pokes are both more talented, and riding more momentum at the moment; a scary combo. Cade Cunningham is going to be a heck of a show in...

Fair. I personally think there is a wide range of outcomes for them. That being said, I'd love to see Iowa and Bucky get bounced early (even if it is bad for B1G), and hopefully the rest of the top teams + maybe a squad like Purdue can make deep runs and show well for the conference.

The same OSU team that's gone toe-to-toe with Illinois and Michigan all season and beaten every team in the B1G isn't good enough? I disagree with you there. Michigan I don't see happening... tough draw and no Livers is tough. Illinois I absolutely see making the final four. Iowa I could only...

Minnesota has now had two different guys airball free throw shots tonight. Time for me to turn this off :ROFLMAO:

He looks like he should be playing for St. Olaf.

I'm feeling frustrated with the state of the program as it stands, so going to take this as an opportunity air things out. Pardon me if I'm a bit blunt. Just calling it how I see it. 1) Ihnen may have a promising game once in a blue moon, but it's not going to work out for him here. He's...

I chose to watch that tonight instead of the miserable Gophers and it was unbelievable. The referees may have single handedly won it for Michigan State tonight; never seen anything like it before. Ohio State got absolutely screwed.
