Kinda sad, the press release spends 8 paragraphs expounding on his accomplishments at Richmond (in two separate stints) as well as at Princeton and his USAF college ball career. All it says about the Gophers is that he "most recently worked as an assistant coach with Minnesota out of the Big Ten...

All the coach speak is starting to grate on me. Mark Coil needs to step in soon, otherwise the fans will be venting their frustrations.

My brain read this as HVAC. Anybody else?

What if I told you guys there was a way to make a thread look like this. I don't know what this guy is spewing, have no idea why I ignored him in the first place, but it feels great:

Here are a couple of assists from the USC game which I picked since he had 5 assists in this one against a high major. One is a kickout off a drive for a 3, the other is him rocketing a skip pass from the opposite baseline for a corner 3. He's got good vision. Looking forward to him kicking it...

I'm intrigued by the passing. He averaged 2.9 assists per 40 minutes. He doesn't shoot 3's at all but if he can keep the ball moving that is important in Niko's offense. For reference, the per 40 minute assist rates for our squad: Odukale: 4.9 Patterson: 3.9 Mitchell 3.5 Asuma: 3.4 Garcia: 2.3...

Frankly, I’m surprised that UNC appeared to make him a priority. He would’ve been a solid get for us, but I would have thought he would be plan C for them with their Blue Blood status and available cash. I will be interested to see what kind of role he has on their team next year.

I'm visiting in 2 weeks and Ted Drewes is on the menu along with Pappy's, Bogarts, and my favorite hole in the wall Bosnian place that does Doner Kebabs.

I ran into his mom at a Schnucks when I lived there (2011-2015) because I had a Gopher hat on, she was super nice and we chatted for a while. Webster Groves is also one of the best places to live in the metro IMO.

I honestly don't know, I only watched his highlights. But this jumped out at me in his stats and it is one thing I will keep an eye on. I assumed you were lumping him in with your "good passing forwards" statement and I was wondering if you had seen more than what was in the stats?

Last year we we apparently went with a stud and duds strategy

BJ Omot logged 0 assists in 4 games last year and barely averaged more assists per 40 minutes than JOJ did in 2023-2024 (1.6 vs 1.2). Not saying he can’t pass…but I will be curious to see how Niko deploys him and how he plays.

As a freshman, Evans played 8 minutes per game and shot 32% from 3PT and 68% FT...in the MWC. Now this same guy is being courted by places like UNC and possibly Kansas? Yeah I would like to have him but also really nice to know we have the guy who developed him into a key part of his NCAA...

Just to have some fun with numbers, the highest 3PA per game rate we have seen at Minnesota in the last 15 years was sophomore Gabe Kalscheur at 7.2 (223 total, 34%) which was a decrease from his 42% when he shot 188 as a freshman. Sophomore Jamison Battle 7.0 attempts per game, 190 total at...

Yeah I would expect him to shoot a fair bit less than that but you never know. Mike Mitchell actually attempted more 3's at Minnesota than he got at Pepperdine. Patterson only averaged 0.5 fewer field goal attempts than he had at Charlotte. Surprisingly when these low and mid-major guys transfer...

35% on 256 attempts is prolific more for the volume -- for reference our leading 3P attempters were Mike Mitchell who shot 33% on 151 attempts, Lu'Cye Patterson who shot 26% on 140 attempts, and Dawson Garcia who shot 37% on 134 attempts. Asuma attempted 70 3PT (36%), BJ Omot attempted 188 in...

This would explain why people like Mike Mitchell entered the portal. He has been told there is a chance.

Armon Gates has really gotten around. He has coached at Northwestern, Oklahoma, Kent State, Loyola-Chicago, Oregon, and Nebraska. I hope he is a good fit here and can put down some roots!

Meechie Johnson seems confident he will get a 6th year. His argument is this season at Ohio State shouldn't count, because he had mental health issues and left the team after playing in 10 games. Dawson Garcia left UNC after 16 games in 2021-2022 because of a sick family member in Minnesota. If...

From watching his highlight clip he looks more like 175 than 185. Thin as a rail. But very fluid and athletic. I liked seeing him cutting and driving, not just floating. I’m very excited about him and hope he can be one of our key pieces the next 2 years.
