Fair enough and can’t disagree. Who do see as a potential upgrade. USC is also searching and others. Texas thought they had their guy in Sark, Matt Campbell will probably stay put since Iowa State has cooled and honestly doubt seriously he would see Gophers as above other options. There is also...

Just be careful what you ask for. Texas has all the resources you could ever want, and they are about to lose to Kansas. They keep throwing millions at the program and here they are. No doubt this should be a good/great year for Gophers esp w that experienced o-line. But there are programs at...

Fleck is an overall asset to the program, though some curious decisions for sure. What would things look like if he could have Ciarrocca back as they had some chemistry that’s missing now. Ciarrocca found out he had a good thing going w Gophers, and Fleck hasn’t had quite the golden touch...

Princeton will be another good test tomorrow, and their style is more similar to what we've seen from Gophers in first couple games. Lots of good teams and plenty of balance across college hoops. Watched a good part of Brown vs. UNC last night, and Brown looked good, including Michigan State...

Surprising to see Gophers only +2.5 for tonight's game. WKU has size and legit talent. While just one game early in the season, a nice test for Gophers against a roster w/ size closer to B1G-capable. And Stansbury knows what he's doing.

These early season games got me thinking way back to when the Great Alaska Shootout was one of, if not the marquee early tournament. I had to look it up. Ended in 2017. It was a great run, and surprised they were able to keep it going as long as they did vs. all the warm weather options, which...

probably so. I noticed this via SI, which I found interesting. They have MWC down at #11 among their pre-season conference rankings. I think this is more a reflection of a lot more talent to spread around than years ago, and we now see the impact this can have each year via the transfer portal...

My take is he has a pretty good thing going in Fort Collins. He's playing on a competitive team and the ball is in his hands a lot. He may also like the comparative free-flow of MWC hoops. Not nearly the grind of B1G, but quality conference no matter.

Thanks for sharing this. I'd encourage you to look closer at Colorado, and Nebraska. Andy Katz has noticed the Huskers for instance. He has them in the field, which would have been laughable past few years but Katz understands how that roster has transformed/improved. Tad Boyle has also built CU...

I understand your point, but re: Muss. He has signed two 5-stars and three 4-star high school recruits for the '22 class. And I think this also goes for others who many think only recruit via the portal. They may start that way, but with a little success it becomes more of a blend of high school...

James Jones is the head coach at Yale. Mitch Henderson is Princeton's coach.

I think Hoiberg turns the corner this year. McGowens (the younger of the two brothers) and guys like Keisei Tominaga will be the surprise of the Big Ten. We will see. . .

He was real close until injuries hit and exposed lack of depth, which has been discussed plenty, along with in game tactics including dependency on Carr unnecessarily so. I believe this contributed to shaking other teammates confidence in their own games. I'm in your camp that he'll have a good...

Yes, and Rick Barnes has put together two straight strong recruiting classes. It's fine to wonder why a kid will choose a school that already has a guard or three, questioning playing time, etc. But Tennessee also has a recent track record of getting these guys to the NBA or at least G-league...

Colin Smith is from Dallas.

The urban part is fine. For those of us who've been away from MN for a long time and come back for visits, what's noticable is how little change/development has occurred in and around Dinkytown. It would be cool to see some major commercial dollars flow into the area, and would enhance the...

I've watched Colin Smith play a few times. It's probably already been mentioned, but he played alongside Harrison Ingram on a good St. Mark's team, and looked solid even as as Sophomore. He also has a 6'5" sister who plays volleyball at Stanford, so lots of talent in that family.

It's about the player, not the conference. SFA has a good program, and while NCAA tournament is not (necessarily) the measuring stick, remember that ACU had a nice run in last year's tourney, and they are also from Southland. Scott Drew brought in a relative unknown Freddie Gillespie from...

You mean Scott Frost, but I get your point. It's been mentioned, all variations of same thing but either one of the assistants has to be a top-recruiting assistant, or the head coach must be. Since Nebraska came up, maybe reason for hope as comparison, although some on this site have trashed...

He was a good player at Utah before, and I was surprised he transferred the first time. He fits that MWC style for most part. Clearly was hobbled w Gophers and had a tough run there.....good for him.
