I wouldn't limit it to just Gophers reporters. The sports media in the Twin Cities is the worst out of any major market in the country.

He's a lot more consistent on offense and defense when he starts. He put up better numbers than Randle and he's at worst similar on D compared to Randle. 4 years 100 million is also cheaper than Randle. Letting a 25 year old Naz walk in favor of keeping a 31 year old Randle and a 33 year old...

Maybe, maybe not. I don't care how strong the conference is perceived to be, teams that go 6-12 in the conference should never make it. Neither should all 8-10 teams, but a couple of them is fine. I would much rather see Boise St, UC Irvine, West Virginia, SMU etc over those teams.

It's 100% a done deal. It doesn't matter if Colorado St makes the Final 4 or loses today. As eager as I am for the Niko era to begin, I hope he keeps winning. Whenever they lose, the media will announce there is a deal in place the next day.

Ben will definitely end up as an assistant somewhere. It's just a matter of when.

Where's Ben going to land? Villanova? West Virginia? He's a great coach who just needs resources right?

So the Wolves are just going to have no big men for the future? How does that make sense? It's far more important to keep Naz than Julius Randle. The more playing time Naz gets, the more consistent he is. It's a little bit like Jalen Brunson with the Mavs. Once he became the full time starter...

Imagine how good New Mexico would be with Tonje this season. Possibly last 2 seasons SDSU level good. And how much worse Wisconsin would be without him.

He hasn't had any knee issues since though, so I'm not sure how he would fail a physical due to his ACL injuries. That argument doesn't make any sense. I also started talking about trading him after the 2023 season.

The Twins couldn't use another top 20-30 starting pitcher?

So the Twins keep expecting a player who can't pass a physical to be an everyday player every season?

Exactly. Agents are negotiating NIL before players even hit the portal.

I give you credit for admitting I was right, and I still think they could have swung a deal similar to the Lopez for Arraez trade. Royce still had significantly more upside than Arraez because Arraez doesn't have position, is slow, and has zero power. His contact hitting is elite, but that's all...

We can, and I don't mean to derail the thread. But the coaching search is done. It will be Niko when CSU exits the tourney.

Because $4M can build a much better roster than $1M. And when everyone gets into higher numbers, then talent evaluation and coaching becomes a much bigger factor.

Jamiche is the type of person that is never wrong, no matter how many times you prove he's wrong. It's the worst type of person.

Since when is NIL included in school budgets? It's not. This data is also 2 years old, because that's the newest data available. Minnesota's expenses for that year was $8.6M, so you're not comparing the right data or making the point you think you are. If you were, the Gophers were already $3.6M...

Give me the data that everyone needs to spend $5 million to win.

Lol a $1.5M range, come on. Wisconsin didn’t spend anywhere near $4M and neither did Purdue. And they will always be competitive because they have great coaches. Most teams in the NCAA tournament didn’t spend anywhere near $5M. And there are plenty of teams that spent a lot of money and didn’t...
