Year 2 for Tubby. And this was pre-Tony Bennett Virginia. They finished 10-18 overall, 4-12 in the ACC.

I saw Elijah and thought the dude we just had on a visit decided to immediately commit somewhere else.

Do you expect a home and home to be added with the Mississippi State series finishing up last season?

Cooper went close to home, and Battle and Evans likely left for money. I don’t know if backing out of the non-conference tournament means anything on its own. Maybe they’ll schedule a couple of home and homes? I’d guess there will be at least one new one after finishing the Mississippi State...

Richard Pitino about to tear it up on the changing recruiting landscape.

I think 2003 is considered the peak year for the MAC. Northern Illinois beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa later this season and finished 10-2, granted it was bad Mike Shula Alabama. Ben Roethlisberger's Miami OH was ranked top 10 at the end of the season, and Bowling Green also finished ranked...

6 of our 8 straight losses to Iowa have been one score games. The Minnesota offense outgained Iowa by over 100 yards in 2019, 2021, and 2022. Iowa went to the 2021 Big Ten Championship game by beating a cross-division schedule that contained 3 of the 4 worst teams in the Big Ten East, and...

Dezi Jones from Quinnipiac. Looks like Minnesota, Oklahoma, and whole bunch of mid-majors reached out to him. Missing on both Darius Brown and Charles Pride really sucks, and I'd believe that we genuinely wanted both, but I have my doubts that Dezi Jones was a top target for us that we just...

On3's numbers come from an algorithm; $59,000 is not the money he is actually making. From On3's website: "The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets the standard market NIL value for high school and college athletes. A proprietary algorithm, the On3 NIL Valuation...

A brief glance at their last few freshman recruiting classes shows a good handful of guys ranked in the 100-200 range. Not amazing recruiting, but not complete scrubs either. Chase Audige also transferred in after averaging nearly 10 points a game as a freshman at William & Mary. Chris...

Reynolds committed before Storr, and there's speculation that, with the addition of Storr, Reynolds may not have been happy with his projected playing time and role on the team as a bench player. But if we've learned anything from our own transfer recruiting thread, it's that it shouldn't be...

If I'm reading correctly, in addition to their coach, Penn State lost 8 of their top 11 guys to either transfer or graduation. I think they started 5 seniors last year. I'd hope we can at least finish ahead of them. I think Andy Katz had Illinois and Iowa at 11 and 13 in the Big Ten...

They gave scholarships to Alex Illikainen, Riley Dearring, and Joe Hedstrom, so it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for them.

I’d imagine beefy 6’9”+ dudes who are willing to transfer into a struggling program to be a deep bench player aren’t super common, so I’m okay with it. What else were we doing with this scholarship?

There have been numerous instances of Ben Johnson offering guys early who later shot up the rankings. Andrej Stojakovic and Dennis Evans were both borderline top 100 guys when we offered them, and both ended up in 5-star range, with Evans of course committing here until Louisville tampered and...

This seems like it’d be a big pickup if we could pull it off. Someone who can slash to the hoop would be great. Maybe Christie can do that too?

I’m not a hockey guy generally but I’ve watched all three of the Gophers’ tournament games this year, and might head to Dinkytown to watch the final on Saturday. I’ve granted myself permission to bandwagon for the hockey team a bit as someone who has watched the great majority of the basketball...

Minnesota going 7-5 with losses to Ohio State, Michigan, North Carolina, and then losing 2 more between Wisconsin, Iowa, Purdue, Nebraska, and Michigan State isn't an extremely unreasonable prediction I don't think. And then getting passed up in bowl placement by just about every other Big Ten...

Might have been a mutual parting, but Ed Orgeron was gone from LSU less than 2 full seasons after winning a national championship.

5 assists per game also isn't too far off of Cooper's 6.
