The point of this discussion is this: If you fail to support a rookie coach that coach will fail miserably as happened here. That's foolishness both in the hire and the support. Now if you fail to support an accomplished coach, he will not accomplish what is possible. That's the warning. I hope...

You wouldn't go all the way to diffident would you?

Our program has to become such a positive experience that it begins to become a tie breaker when it comes to money. If you have a player that can get 500k more elsewhere, you are going to lose the player- period.

The only reason I can think we rank this high on this scale is because we are one of only two D1 programs in the state- so the Gophers certainly have something near a monopoly. It's the reason Rick Majerus said he would have loved to coach here.

There comes a point at which you kill the goose that laid the golden egg. Settling for some restraint can actually preserve the future for these young men. Pro sports ended up with salary caps for this same reason. It creates a competitive league. Without that the players eventually become worth...

It's the hey - they used some foreign players, Geno also uses foreign players- maybe we should try it angle. Actually, I like the strategy. Gonzaga has gotten some pretty good ones over the years as have a lot of the smaller schools.

I think there, you want to find guys 10-13 or 15 (if that is the new number) younger developmental guys that could become something in the system. Ben brought in some guys who were old and then didn't use them.

Was Niko on staff for the year Grier and company went to the tournament?

THIS!

I have mixed feelings about Coyle as I feel he did a good job with this hire. He is the guy out front so he has to take a lot of blame for what happened with NIL. I saw this coming when attending a kick off meeting for it. You could see they were going to screw it up from the beginning. I do...

We have 6. I agree with your optimism though!

Wait to see how good he will be with Nikos offense and a bunch of shooters. Asuma will start

In the end I think it is a moot point because I'd guess we are going to get either Enis or Evans at the 2.

What worries me is recalling Ben's first squad that had Battle and Willis but no one that could stop anyone in the paint or get boards. Now we already have Crocker Johnson, a good defender, but we certainly need more size.

This guy is a stat stuffer! Very good get! Now go get Evans or Enis or the Oklahoma kid and an athletic 6-9 kid that can pass and rebound!

Love it!! Welcome Bobby! We are building a better shooting ball club. Move the ball, hit open shots!

If he is a Gopher and based on the guys he has been recruiting, we are no longer going to be in the bottom 2% for FT shooting...which is nice!

On the offensive end that is probably true. Defensively, it is still a big deal to have a guy that changes shots. Michigan sure did well this year with 2 7 footers.

Those forwards are athletic types that can get up in the air.
