Wow. This is a huge blow. I guess I would also fire Ben now then. This means it's just the start, Garcia and Christie likely gone too.

Like zero minutes on a team starving for bench players. So far he's a miss. He might turn it around, but he was billed as a fairly major recruit for us. Hes not so far.

This one was easy to see coming. It's a loss IMO. Not sure why he lost favor with Ben, but hard to defend what happened to him at the end of the year when we had guys dragging their tongues they were so tired...

Why does having a kid leave to be a fringe NBA player help your program? I have never undestood this line of thinking. Selling the program these days has to do with 2 things, money and winning. Kids don't care that an NIT team sent a guy to the pros to be a 2nd round pick. Losing him hurts the...

Put it this way. If the team loses Cam, Garcia, JOJ + another player that sees minutes, Ben will flat out not last. I don't think that will happen, but if it does, it's over for Ben.

Not sure why they want to give up on JOJ. I can see Ihnen, but JOJ is a decent player. He should have gotten some more playing time. Most likely they lose him, but I guess I see some promise in the kid. Too bad.

I took C. Better than the last few years for sure. Still not good though. One thing that really bothered me. The defense relapsing. They were borderline great in that category at the beginning of the Big Ten season, and laughably bad towards the end. Part of this probably has to do with...

PSU game was garbage too. Just so we are clear they(PSU) are a terrible team. You should blow them out in your own building. Expect more, bottom barrel teams are bottom barrel teams. Kill them and move on

Joke game. Like I said earlier team gave up after the Illinois game. Better season than last year but a terrible finish for sure.

Seasons over just like I stated when they lost to Illinois. It appears the team has given up. Lucky to beat a brutal Penn State team and now this embarrassment. Weakling Wednesday here we come

Could be. He knows if we lose any of all of those considering it's over for another 5 years...

Coffey, Oturo were the 2 most recent that I remember. If both had stayed, Pitino would still be here.

Agreed, this is why when people call that kind of thing happening a success for the program I don't know what the hell they are talking about. Leaving to be a first round NBA draft pick is one thing. Leaving for Euro leagues, G leagues and maybes is quite another.

How many fringies do the sconnies lose per year? How about the other top teams in our conference? Anytime we get someone worth a salt here they bolt for Euro league, etc. I get it, they can make money there but this doesn't happen as often everywhere else as it does here. Also, I am not going...

No it isn't. It's a failure 100%. Get him to stay whatever it takes. I don't think he is ready, but I'm not an NBA draft guru either. Can't constantly lose whatever talent you have that has a good season every year unless you are able to reload fast. At the U that is nearly impossible.

This would be par for the course for this program to have those guys leave. Minnesota has to have the most college bball players leave to go to Europe or non-NBA places I've ever seen. Lose those three and it will be over with fast and back down to the bottom...

Need to get into a early season tournament. That is something that is a must. I am also not sure why they've never scheduled some of the closer power 5 teams. We should be playing Iowa State every season, Marquette, Butler, Notre Dame, etc.

Yes. Put it this way. Ohio State has a better chance to get in the dance than we do. It's mainly because we didn't beat anyone. We haven't. Nebraska, NWern, MSU. That is it. Playing them(Purdue, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois) tough doesn't get you anywhere.

Exactly, high school doesn't mean anything. I was basing my opinion on watching them play travel ball and talking to the kids that have faced them. PS Chloe is lighting it up at Wichita State.

Hard to say but only one of those you just listed came out of MN. It's tough. Just like any sport to compete at the D1 level with mainly MN players. The only one where MN ranks highly with power 5 players would be mens bball. It's just too cold here to consistently produce top talent...
