not technically a transfer but local kid

Before we discuss his ability are we sure he committed? I see NOTHING

Much like you I saw him 1 game. But my point remains the same, if he's our best get in the portal we are screwed. Nice player as I said in a bench role, but not many guys who put up 9-3-2 in the Ivy do much in the Big 10. This why I said we need to get better players in the portal. You've...

I think the point is that we need bigger impact guys. Guys like Gray are ok if they are the 8th or 9th man. If they're the best we get out the portal it won't be a good season.

Former Gopher target. Maybe be worth a backup spot, at least would have more upside than a Wilson or Daniels did

It's essentially impossible to bank on anything more than 1 year. I'm sure SCar was jazzed up to get multiple years of Meechie Johnson. He led then in scoring, really good team, and yet he leaves after 1 year. It's total chaos year to year, maximize each year and hope it works out. EDIT: or...

The 4 starters returning is a massive bit of good news today. Would be nice to have Fox back but he's a guy I feel like you could replace if need be. Time to hit the portal hard, need 3-4 more good D1 players. Also feels like we are due for a kid like Betts to just explode and be good. I'm sure...

I've said it over and over, the only way this gets settled down is with a CBA and contracts. The kids will get paid through the University and have to sign a contract that they would be tied to. Collectives then would become a moot point in terms of stealing players. Those collectives have no...

Read again, I said D1 MENS level

0 Interest. If we went the 0 HC exp at the D1 mens level then I'd go way outside of the box and look at Dawn Staley. At least we'd get some hype and exposure. But would strongly prefer a successful D1 coach.

Interesting note that NC St is in the final four work a group of 5 starters where ZERO of them started their college journey at NC st.

I appreciate the idea, but to me this type of player simply doesn't exist. In 2024 this type of player likely goes to a lower level team, tries to put up big numbers and then uses that to hit the NIL lottery

In all seriousness, this was the best thing that's happened all offseason. I'm sure he's a fine kid but we need guys who can play

The Gophers program should maybe give up overseas recruiting. Who's been our best foreign player? Oseniks?

"Hooray, we had 1 out of 3 years we weren't the worst team in the conference. We are such overachievers" 🤦‍♂️

You didn't actually answer the question you just talked around it. I assert CBJ is an awful person to lead our program. My evidence is a terrible record, the fact he was brought in to keep local kids who are now leaving en masse and no real excitement from the fan base (see attendance). Those...

I have laughed at some posters suddenly think Payne was trash and not even a loss. Maybe we need to get these people on record so when the next person leaves they can say see I always thought X sucked 🤣.

Hmm. So we agree years 1 and 2 were awful. Year 3 you describe as "middling" yet you assert that CBJ is a good coach. So does that mean the players HE recruited sucked? That would be on him I'd say. But sure make up excuses why we lose EVERY YEAR. Some people might not like the...

I think OK is the word there. Does that team go 2-18 in conference no, do they sniff the tournament, also no. Payne was our upside guy. No one on that roster pops having the ability to take us to the next level. So I guess if you are ok with 7-13 in conference sure that team is fine. But it's...

I am sure there are 10000 legal issues here but this has to end with contracts right? You cant say how much a kid can make sure, but you can hold them to something. Say you want a kid with 1 year left, cool 1 year deal. Maybe you get a freshman in and you say sure we are fine giving you $500k...
