Well, it didn't take you too long to get nasty. Never does. Let's just cut this one off. Remember, we don't have to agree. This isn't some litigation that has to come to a resolution.

Oh my God, thanks! How could I forget them? So, 8 in two years. That's even better. To my knowledge, Pitino had only 9 committed Minnesota kids in 8 years.

I don't believe that freshmen should be recruited for immediate needs at this time of year unless they are freshmen who de-committed from another program. Personally, I think Ramberg deserves the 13th scholarship based on his play this past season. If the team has an issue in the upcoming...

Technically, he didn't "miss" because he really didn't swing. Johnson has received commitments from 6 Minnesota kids (Battle, Sutherlin, Carrington, Payne, Ola-Joseph, and Asuma) in two years. I'd say that's good enough for now. You don't want to recruit all Minnesota kids. That's a...

Why would this recruit preclude the kind of recruit you are talking about? Some of you get way too hung up on the order of things. If I go to a grocery store to pick up ingredients for a roast and I select carrots and peppers first, that doesn't mean I care more about carrots and peppers than...

Like he said, Crappy, put up or shut up.

Obviously, the coach recruited him with the intention that he wouldn't play much. In an interview, the coach said that he was going to look for a big man if for no other reason than practice purposes. It's not easy to get a one-year transfer center under those assumptions. He's certainly not...

You once accused me of not being able to read so I'll return the compliment. I said explicitly that I expected improvement but not a dramatic improvement like we saw from 2016 to 2017 and I saw no reason at this point to be convinced that next season's team couldn't win more than 4 Big Ten...

He's not our "second" hope! The coach said he wanted to recruit a post player for practice if nothing else. This guy is a spot player at most. If you've been paying attention, you've seen the guards the coaches are recruiting. They're certainly not scholarship "wastes."

I was thinking that he might have helped us against Crowl this season. Crowl would have had a harder time backing this guy into the basket and he would have been harder to shoot over.

They called him "Mr. Excitement."

What Johnson & Company are doing is pursuing transfers very actively which is exactly what they should be doing right now. This kid is not a critical component for the near future. Johnson has one 2024 freshman commit and might be enough depending upon how the roster shakes out after next season.

Regardless of what you or anyone else thinks of the coach, a better roster can make anyone look good and we have a pretty fair shot for a better roster. It's not just a matter of individual talents. Some teams just fit better together and play better together. The coaches definitely are...

Pretty good player. Seems more of a short 2 guard than a point. First team Big West this past season. Led the conference in made three pointers and also was an outstanding free throw shooter (86.5% over three years there). I like what Ben Johnson & Company are doing. They're going after a...

True, it's a pretty safe bet that they will be better next year because they have nowhere to go but up. But, nobody saw a 24 win season in the year following Pitino's 8 win season either. All it took was a combination of key holdovers and four well performing additions. I'm certainly not...

Of course, on the Transfer Portal thread - where it belongs. First time was two days ago and then there was more discussion and news about him yesterday. I checked him out within an hour of him showing up in the portal on Verbal Commits.

It does. They also lose their Serbian center (he's out of eligibility) and a couple of other players. McCaffrey could have a bad year but he also could surprise again. I've learned never to count him out.

Not at all surprising. His brother is doing well and NBADraft.net projects him being picked in the late teens of the first round.

Whatever. I'll predict without hesitation that we will be better next year than we were in either of Battle's two years.

I know you're being sarcastic but stop anyway! The last thing anyone should care about on this site is what any group of posters think.
