This. He saw the writing on the wall. They made the tournament the next year after Ben left, they had a bad year before COVID hit, they had another bad year, and here we are. Guessing Ben is not HC today if he stuck it out.

I’ll pretend this isn’t trolling just for trolling sake, but Ben has talked about why he originally chose Northwestern over MN on one of the many interviews he did a few weeks ago. Also, Ryan James and others have hinted, if not right out said, why he left MN for Xavier. From Minnesota...

MN also has the playing time for all of these kids. Ben has set it up that way. He can say to all of them that they can step in and play from day 1 and it's not a line.

I agree that Heide is probably headed to Purdue, but as with Holloman at MSU, I like that he is getting the OV out of the way now (unless he commits right away!).

Absolutely. We can all read/see the teams he was with and their results year to year. We’re very familiar with 5 years of that record (and honestly, he probably stayed too long at MN the first time). I have a hard time holding that against him as he was an assistant and I don’t know his...

Very happy with this offer. Also like to see this from Holloman.

Yes, and this is what I meant - P5. Marquette and Iowa State have reached out to a number of the kids. Omot is visiting one of the Big East schools soon. There is interest in a lot of these MN HS players.

Exactly. Plus this is a deep class. If these 2nd and 3rd tier players are not at MN, they’re probably at another high major. Obviously there are the 5 top players they are focusing on and it would be great to land all 5 (fingers and toes crossed and I do think they land some of them), but not...

I believe he has him in that second tier with Payne and Omot with Payne probably ahead of the other two. What I am curious about is if/when they miss on any of they top 5 kids, do they focus on Loge, Payne, and Omot (non of which have offers, but are talking with Ben and Thorson) or do they...

I agree with this. A 7 game plan would be perfect. 2 non-conference and then half the conference home games.

Short video of the new guys arriving on campus.

I will continue to be a STH with 2 tickets and look forward to watching the team this year and in the future under new leadership. However, I really do not like the game times. 6:00 p.m. starts in the middle of the week (and winter) can be difficult and 8:00 p.m. starts in the middle of the week...

If they both stay in school, I think there is a good chance we get both as well.

They’re going to have at least 7-8 scholarships available for 2022 even if they take Manley and Mitchell. Probably 6 will be used on freshman.

Absolutely. I believe that is the plan.

Had a chance to listen this morning on my drive to work. I like what he had to say about all 5 players. Sounds like the Gophers are right in it with all of them and he said nobody is working harder on each of them than this staff. Both Gaard and James said they could just line them up and...

Listened to Ryan James from yesterday on KFAN and he said Mitchell and Manley are on their radar and are just waiting for the pre-draft camps and feedback and they would leave one spot open just in case someone decided to come back to school but transfer (like a Dawson Garcia, I assume).

Thank you! Probably not for this thread, but anything on the other MN kids?

I think Minnesota is in a really good place with Tre after his visit last week and I like that he got the official visit to MSU done already, but those tweets kind of say it all unfortunately. I do wonder the playing time situation at MSU and if that will impact him. At MN, he is probably...
