Also, fire, him, fine. But then you have to spend to hire a stud. The program doesn't attract players or fans anymore. They need the next hire to be able to do both right out of the gate. They really blew it last time when they could have had Mussleman or Dutcher .

I mean maybe, but it is plain to see that this team just doesn't have very much talent. Not sure if there is a single league in D1 basketball this team could win. Sucks, but it is what it is.

It's sad. Because if last years team stayed together, this year would have been one to look forward to. I don't even really fault Johnson as a coach/ X and O guy, etc. It is how he can't keep a roster together. I know the portal and all that, but after his coaching tenure started terribly, then...

What is a solid recruiting class? To me that means top 20 in the country and top 4 in the conference. Put it this way, if this kid turns out to be really good after this season he is GONE. Also don't get fooled into thinking a recruiting class is good just because they post fancy pictures on...

Who cares. Another fringe prospect. Beat out real power 5 teams then it's a good one. If you are beating out mid majors and other terrible power 5's then the kid is probably fine, but no one to get excited about. I won't get excited for a recruit until you are beating out Mich State, Ohio...

I agree and here is the kicker. The way to build it the old way was the same. Thus the reason the U never did anything. Every other power 5 school paid their players then and continue to do so now. You want to win at a high level in the revenue sports in Division 1 college athletics, you flat...

They can have PJ success. Ben had a team that would have had success this season had he kept last year's roster together. He should have been fired all those transfers left. If they don't have the bag to lure fresh studs every year, then then whatever coach you settle on, must keep the talent...

I mean, basically we are a mid major now. And will be for the foreseeable future. Mid-majors can have good years and do sometimes. I just wonder how long the Big Ten will allow us to stay in the conference. PJ is our best hope I guess. Our Bball program is a net negative to the conference for...

It's only Division 1 sports that are this crazy. And it has to do with the same thing that corrupts everything in society. $$$$$$$$ Greed is going to bring D1 college bball down and greed is well on it's way to bringing down the USA as well. D2 and 3 sports are still pretty pure. But D1 ball...

Ben wouldn't have a choice though to be honest. Yep, there might be some tension, but as of right now, you are starting a freshman point guard or Mike Mitchell at that spot.

Live in that past if you want to. We were one of a handful of teams then that allowed players that weren't white to play. I guess I should have said of recent past instead of all time.

Count those if you want to, but I don't really count them when we were the only team that used players that weren't white. I was also not alive yet.

This isn't just for sports, this is the world right now. Normal people are being squeezed for their last penny while those sitting on top count their hundred dollar bills and those on bottom laugh at all of us for going to work while they sit back and collect for watching TV

They compete in the Big Ten. Almost every year. They aren't an easy beat year in year out. PJ gets kids to stay and kids to come here. It's not even close comparing these 2 coaches. And he has done it with a program that can be argued as one of the worst power 5 football programs of all time.

Basketball was always the gopher sport I followed the most closely. Now it is probably football. They seem to have that program somewhat figured out. Bball seems to still be a mess. Hockey, I could care less about as it's such a niche sport. Softball is fun to watch but they have struggled...

Hard to say, and also hard to care. Got the money my dude. Have a good time. I hope you do fine with your life but your team gets smoked all year long. PS you are a liar.

Well, this is what has kept them where they are at for years and years. Sleeze wins. Sorry, it sucks and it is what it is, but that has always been the only way to win in major college athletics. Especially when your school is located where the U is(blocks from scum earth) and you've been...

Not sure but Ben needs some big bodies that can hold their own in the paint. Nothing there right now. I guess Garcia, but he is more of that mid rangy type guy.

100% The love of money is literally going to tear down this entire country. It's well on it's way.

Awesome! Christie and Fox now please. Dawson, Hawk, Mitchel, Christie, Fox. That's a good start and probably your starting 5 next year.
