We are going to have about 5 million to pay players because of revenue sharing + NIL. We have plenty of money and Niko will inspire more NIL than Ben did.

No to all of this. No reason not to compete right away. We have competitive money because of revenue sharing. You either load up with multi year guys or go to win right away with seniors. You do not play for 2026 by bringing in a bunch of one year rentals. That makes no sense. I fully expect...

I agree. I am concerned that there are some schools that will make promises now based on the expected outcome, while the U will not take that chance. The next week is going to be dicey until that decision comes out. I hope players that will seriously consider us can wait.

This is the first half hour of a poker game. Coach is going to look at each opportunity and see what works and fits. Manage the money. Don't panic and the players (like better hands in poker) will come. We are going to have a lot of money to spend as we see players that fit the system.

Good for him. I think Betts is going to be a solid player there. I wouldn't be surprised if he scores 10 a game next year.

Well said. That really has to be true when you are filling as many as 10 slots in the portal. The first 3-4 will get most of the dough but you have to figure out what the market is. It's going to be weird for a while because the promise of revenue sharing, while coming in a week with the final...

Bamas 3s came from another 3 feet out on the court against the Duke defense. Bad night for Nelson against the Duke big.

We are going to be in the top 50 for how much money we have to offer. If for example the top 50 are averaging 5 portal pickups, we should be shooting for players in the top 250 at worst. We are going to get some good players- one way or another.

Nearly 1/3 of all D1 college basketball players. Crazy.

Niko at least will be going fishing with about 4-5 million in bait. The Robert Morris coach is going out fishing with college scholarships to offer.

There is no reason why we can't be good in this upcoming year. Every year now stands on its own, even for most incumbent coaches. Once again- 4 of the sweet 16 coaches are new to their teams this year. This is an exciting month ahead!

It has but Cam Christie, for example was ranked around 100 and was a nice first year player.

4 teams in the Sweet 16 have new coaches.

More money.

They will recruit less of them. And let's face it, if Kentucky or whoever, is going to start a bunch of juniors and seniors who are well paid, ahead of them, why wouldn't they go build their resume where they can get 30 minutes so that they are in position for a pay day? Playing time is going to...

Stamper was double wide Tarver. Stamper was more like Big Frank.

Miles was not a talented basketball player. He was 6-8 and maybe 200# but he was the most tenacious kid I have seen here. He averaged 6 to 7 boards his last two years at Minny in 26 minutes per game but rarely scored except on a rebound put back. Most memorable he got in a skirmish and I think...

Recruit good shooters and move the ball side to side to get those shooters open shots...Simple but good formula!??

Thanks! I looked up "true tempo" for MN and CSU last year. CSU was 252nd and we were 349th. Two things- 1. wow we were slow tempo- brutal. 2. CSU was not fast either but what I like about what Niko does is keep the ball moving- looking for the right shot. So it's not run and gun but it is...

I actually think that the new trend actually gives us a chance to sign more top 50, top 100 HS players. The guys that used to get sold on playing for a marquee team are now looking at bench time. We may offer a few of those guys a playing time shot. If Duke, Kentucky and others are only taking...
