There's about 1200 kids in the portal now (probably higher by now). Many are very good. It just takes time from both kids and coach perspective to work through it. Patience. Patience.

We need cash to compete. Let's get some more (as long as they keep the Williams Arena name in there somehow). Like Williams Arena at The Pillsbury Center.

Exactly!

They will go to 18 (give players more money to agree), reduce pre-season to 2 games and add a 2nd bye week. Just my opinion.

Big Frank could be helpful in certain systems. Rigby was extremely inconsistent and had 2 or 3 good games all year. One was near the end of the season. Which doesn't mean he greatly improved. It means he got a hot hand in 1 game near end of season. That's all. He was also poor defensively as...

Until proven wrong, I trust Niko, his evaluations, his roster construction and his system. He does have a proven record of success and putting teams together, unlike our previous coach. Competence is good. Let's wait until off-season, and for that matter, the season until we pass judgment on...

God bless him!🙏

Must be something Niko likes in his game to recruit him to stay on board.

All that is true, but doesn't mean he couldn't be a valuable asset. Teams need bigs that can rebound and play D. The question is whether or not it fits a particular coaches system. If Niko wants 5 shooters on the floor, then he does not (similar to stinking Badgers where all bigs can shoot a bit...

Not to mention maybe the best big game goalie in a long time in Shepard. His tourney stats are nuts.

Got me, though wouldn't be shocking as someone else noted.

I was actually thinking the same thing. Many kids coming out of high school will be forced to go to lower division schools as no room at D1.

Why start him then. Paddock had plenty of rest. Get Ober to full strength.

Ober was almost unhittable this spring. Being lit up like a Christmas tree. Not ideal way to start season.

Let's circle back May 1st and then judge how Niko did/does. Niko has all sorts of connections from his years as head coach. I believe he will ready, aim, fire instead of ready, fire, aim. In Niko I trust.

That's really hard to do.

Here's a thought. Why don't we let Niko put his roster together the way he wants and then judge how the team performs next year. Nah!!! What fun is that.

Tomato, tomato, 😉. My point is, whatever it's called, it can't be managed by the U as things currently stand. That may change, and you may saying the same thing,just clarifying.

Not sure about the "trust", but you could certainly leave to DTA. I don't think the trust, as maybe implied, can be managed by the University itself.

I know you're addressing BG, but I guess I started the sentiment here. As I noted, some good games so far this weekend but there weren't many the 1st weekend. Everyone's different, but for me, a bit of the fun and enjoyment of the tournament is watching a couple higher seeds move into the 2nd...
