OK, that's fine. But a power 5 program, especially one in the Big Ten should not have to hand out scholarships to half of a roster that will see ZERO playing time and flat out aren't fit to play Big Ten ball. You need 8-9 solids to have a real chance. Haven't had that here for quite a few years...

Exactly and people that think he will replace Payne? LOL. Not close, and not half the player Payne was. The Payne loss is huge no matter how folks want to spin it.

Coaches and teams that emphasize defense, rebounding, taking care of the ball, and getting good shots win. It is that darn simple. You win, people stay. You win, fans come out. You win, money comes in. You win, you get better recruits. Clem won, Tubby won. Musslemen won. All of those teams...

I thought I remember hearing rumors when Pitino was fired that he wanted to interview here but that the administration didn't even give him an interview? Maybe that's wrong so don't quote me on it. Either way, the Prez at the U need to immediately fire Coyle and hire Mankato's AD. He is the...

Sure there hasn't been. Anytime this program has had a chance to take the next step we find some kind of charge or infraction, etc to slit our own throat. It's been well documented and the reason the athletic department here never wins. Got news for everyone. Half of the kids on winning rosters...

They never have. And never will. Not at D1, and especially not a power 5. The U has never figured this out, thus the position they find themselves in right now. Yes, it's ugly, yes, it's hard to swallow, and yes, you have to jump in the mud with the pigs if you want to win.

Possible but you have no inside presence. The kid from Waseca would be OK, but he is half the player Payne is. And no bench again. Also, what are the realistic chances that this is all we are gonna see leave this roster?

Lost to Dan Monson and started Gonzaga's run.

Because our football team wins. 100%, nothing more, nothing less.

I 100% agree with this part of your post. Couple this fact with the U being located in Minneapolis and there you have it.

It's finding companies that need tax write offs and getting them to funnel some of it to your NIL fund, rather than do whatever else it is they have been doing with their "donation" money. You also need to use these atheletes to promote your donor businesses and promote them hard.

Right, but then they will fill in with high level replacements. Here were are looking at D2 level players. The winning was just never established here after Clem and now they are paying the piper. Who wants to come to MN to play bball? Really in the middle of a huge city and a university more...

Here is and has always been the real problem with MN basketball. They fired Clem. And let themselves get hammered into oblivion. Flat out that was the day it was over and has never recovered. Had they stood behind him like Kansas, etc has done, he would have gone on to build(or continue) to be...

He's lucky that he even got a scholly IMO. Mid major/D2 talent.

They are all gone IMO. Might keep the 2 guards only because they just transferred last year. Unreal how this can happen so fast.

I doubt it. He's a P5 borderline all conference player.

Mankato State literally wins in everything if you are looking for a local program to follow. The U should have been taking notes from them a long time ago.

No one is asking for anything other than making the dang tournament 1 out of ever 2-3 years and a sweet sixteen run once a decade.

If you can't keep your starters, then something is wrong. I don't know. Maybe it's just time to follow D2 and D3 where the kids are in it for the love of the game. Or maybe more womens sports. This money chasing, zero loyalty, etc just isn't any fun at all. As with everything in the world money...

Just hard to stay a fan of this program. And we will probably end up replacing him with some stiff that belongs playing D2 ball.
