Bo Ryan?

I shudder to think what Johnson would bring in with three portal spots. More Samuels on this team would not help

Great post. First bolded part: I completely agree. Even last year’s team was easy to root for and provided enough moments where it was like “yeah cool I can see where this is going.” But it’s like the train went completely off the tracks this year and it feels different. Second bolded part...

Interesting old thread that got pulled up here. The original post is what has me concerned Coyle won’t fire him until after at least next year. He and Gable will be scared this author- or others in the media (cough Souhan cough)- will write a follow up saying “they didn’t support CBJ and give...

This. And I’m personally not even asking for like a “tourney every year” type of coach- though that’d be nice. Just some competency. Building a roster that makes sense and some semblance of a team identity. He’s not going to make the tourney next year. So fire him and try with someone else.

Guessing any hope for the NIT this year is off the table?

Does anybody know anything about B1G coach dress codes? After seeing Underwood’s sharp sport coat the other night and Maryland’s coach looking crisp suited up last night, why does Johnson dress like a shlub for every game? Clothes have an impact on confidence. I’ve always liked that PJ wears...

I liked the energy and fight last night. Team has not quit. Say what you will about Henley, but he was scrapping tooth and nail until the final buzzer. Hope he stays next year.

Honest question: how much are freethrows a result of coaching vs the players themselves?

Looks like Gustavus just lost so St Olaf and Hamline are guaranteed to be in.

Interesting. Thanks for posting. I was wondering what happened to South this year.

Thanks for getting this thread back on track!

Hopefully he gets a growth spurt! 😆 He can really light it up. I think I read in the local newspaper that he puts up 500 shots before school each day. That’s impressive work ethic. I also saw he has a George Mason offer. Definitely agree that 5’8” doesn’t seem likely to translate to B1G as a...

I think this is an important point. I’d bet the Administration also fears the press saying “they gave the white guy (Pitino) 8 years and cut bait with Johnson after 3 years?!” I think he’ll get at least four if not five years.

Yikes. He basically said they’re relying on young guys and he feels bad for his young guys because other teams are able to hide their young guys and hence other teams’ guys don’t need to be relied upon to get their teams wins. But for the Gophers since there are injuries and young guys they...

What’s Gregg Marshall doing these days?

How you throw a completely unproven guy into the Big Ten is beyond me. And it’s not like either of them said “we’re going to be completely terrible for three years but trust us- it’s going to be awesome year 4”

Saw Moore in person tonight. Couple thoughts: 1. He’s blazing quick and has a knack for steals. 2. Very built for a freshman. 3. Seems like a good- not great shooter (Hopkins’ sophomore shooting guard scored the first 9 points of the game on three 3s) 4. Had a breakaway where he attempted a...

This seems correct to me and is illustrative of why people comparing Johnson’s first years to Clem’s can’t be done. Totally different eras and ground rules. Now: remember when Coyle said Johnson “blew him away” in the interview (or something to that effect). I would assume he laid out some...

Did he really guarantee that? I vaguely remember he did. If we truly finish last in the B1G two years in a row that is such a bad look.
