Yep. Of course, right now they don’t have either - or any of them! Will be interesting to see how they handle Holloman. We’re in a good spot and they have the luxury of grabbing two prep lead guards (although that might not be their plan), but will they wait? I haven’t heard a timeline for him...

Battle (and I really hope I did not just curse him).

Hard to disagree.

Waiting around for Mitchell and Manley doesn’t look great in hindsight and you could arguably say that was handled poorly, but the rest? Not sure about that. Seeing what he was doing makes sense considered he was hired in March and did not have a chance to recruit 2021s. He wants to turn over...

I can agree with that. I actually thought they would surprise this year, but at some point depth is going to be an issue in the Big Ten and going with four forwards/centers is not going to spell success. Not that five would - but I expected a big step by Isaiah this year. I understand why Ben...

Horrible news. Best wishes to Isaiah in his recovery. Not sure how, but they need to find some size. They needed size before Ihnen got hurt, but unless Fox comes back earlier than expected, we’re screwed. Remaining healthy players better get in the best shape of their lives. They’re all going...

Love where we stand with Pharrel and reports on his play this summer.

Carrington received an Xavier offer today.

No kidding. Looks like Illinois and Baylor were at his game as well as Minnesota (not sure if it was for Pharrel or others).

Agreed

No problem. I assume Minnesota had a coach watching Josh at some point. Not sure it would have been Ben as he was probably chasing around Tre, Carrington, Payne and Watson at other tournaments.

A&M saw him play at an AAU tournament in Alabama yesterday and guess they decided to offer. Ben and staff are well aware of Josh - he visited a few weeks ago. Have to assume he is a bit lower on their board right now - especially with Demarion Watson still out there.

Absolutely. Majority of their top priorities right now are still uncommitted. The coaches are all out watching them this weekend - going from gym to gym across many states. I have faith it will pay off.

Eating crow as well. Seemed like both were a possibility for quite awhile, and then down to probably Manley, so to end up with neither one kind of sums up the last 3.5 months of Gopher basketball. Ben said on his Instagram Live yesterday that he liked his team as is, so guess we’ll see what they...

So brutal. I think a recruit or two would help a lot right now.

LOL But of course. With Willis back on the team, Ben recruiting him to the U, needing help in the front court - it makes sense. I hope it works out for all! EC deserves to have a good and healthy season.

Race Thompson, the kid from A&M that seemed like a certainty until it wasn’t, Brandon Johnson staying at MN until he didn’t, Liam not transferring right away, Parker Fox tearing his ACL, etc. I’m guessing he focused on both - things just haven’t fallen their way with frontcourt players.

Hey, at least he didn’t take a personal shot at Ben for once. Too bad about Garcia. Assumed we were a long shot, but still need to find two more bigs. Might have to settle for one at this point.

Maroon and gold looks good on Pharrel!
