A big yes to all of this.

Absolutely. You have to wonder how the others (Hurley, Collins, et al) feel about Duke picking Scheyer already. Even though, as you said, not that any of them are superstars at their respective schools right now and deserved the job.

I don't know if people are pretend Gopher fans, but continued pot shots at the hire, two months later, gets old for sure.

Agreed. This was great. Still liking everything he has to say and how he has gone about things the last few months.

Holloman's mom.

I have to agree. The momentum behind that would be huge. I like what he is doing nationally as well, but get those MN kids and that gets people excited. They don't need all 5, but have to think one joins and others follow.

I don’t know how anybody gets a right answer during the initials game. Ben came close on two!

I wonder when Mitchell is announcing. It would be nice to have him in the boat.

Reel them in, Ben!

10. With more to come including walk-ons.

I was just about to ask - where did Ryan James say this? He has never said this on Gopher Illustrated.

They may not be the most talented team and that will show some nights in the Big Ten, but they are a mature team that has played a lot of college basketball, they seem like they could be a good shooting team, and they have Dave Thorson on staff which means the effort should be there on defense...

Keep shooting, young man!

That makes sense. Get a true 5 (sounds like a few options there), hopefully Mitchell, and then I assume a senior PG to fill the roster.

I like all this.

Would guess there is a connection to the coaching staff at this JUCO with Ben or an assistant coach knowing them.

This should be it for guards. Get two more bigs (again I say, come on down Steffon Mitchell!), a few walk ons, and start prepping for the season.

That 3 point shooting percentage is intriguing for sure. Ben has been clear in wanting guys who can shoot and defend. I like it! Welcome to MN, Abdoulaye!

I'm too lazy to look at what Sam Freeman's stats were, but guessing Charlie will be in his role this year. Difference is Sam had multiple years left and Charlie is one year and done. Now, come on down, Steffon Mitchell!

This! Welcome Charlie! He will provide much needed front court depth.
