    Jaylen Crocker-Johnson to MN!

    Here's what I heard....Niko knows Ziggy through his dad. Niko said, I see you got quite a bit of cap space there with your Vikings....Do you think you could chip in just $5 million I could use as signing bonuses for my Gopher basketball guys? Ziggy said, happy to help. I might be off on the...

    Jaylen Crocker-Johnson to MN!

    Can you imagine being a guy who loves basketball but isn't...fill in the the blank...quick enough, tall enough, doesn't shoot well etc whatever it is....but he's good enough, personable enough to be the 13th man at 18,19 years old and make $100,000 a basketball season to wave a towel and get a...

    Jaylen Crocker-Johnson to MN!

    At $800k one would think so unless Grove beats him out. I mean 4 more guys at $800k you kinda gotta recruit different positions when you spend your wad.

    Niko’s roster construction

    In three weeks if we still only have three players and all the CSU players turned us down....then I'll be nervous.

    Gophers basketball coach Niko Medved sits down with FOX 9's Pierre Noujaim (video)

    He's feelin' the pressure..."It's going to be hard" maybe 11 times in 7 minutes. Versus, what is unsaid: ..This is going to be sooo much fun! This is my dream! I'm living my dream! So cool! I may not sleep until the season's over. I'm walkin' on clouds. Never been so excited in my life...

    Niko’s roster construction

    Unless we have incomplete data...I think we could say: 87% of NCAA Tournament coaches plan to return to their respective schools next year. Doesn't seem like a big deal framed that way?

    Who will have a better career? Medved at Minnesota or McCollum at Iowa?

    We should change the title of the thread to the Maroon Colored Glasses Crystal Ball. Niko is 51 years old. He has a career record of 222-172 for a .563 winning percentage. Ben McCollum is 43 years old. He has a career record of 426 - 95 for a winning percentage of .818. That's .255 winning...

    Big Ten Top 10 Reality Is Setting In

    Maybe we should just shut the basketball forum down until November then?

    Big Ten Top 10 Reality Is Setting In

    They'd still be playin' Yup, but not to be. Now, like the Gophers and many others he needs an entire roster at Xavier. Supposedly, Xavier has money, so I'd think he'll be okay. Michigan did it in '25 but it seems like a huge mountain to climb for all these teams when you need 10 guys or more...

    But, with the same stumbling coach. Coaches make a huge difference.

    Big Ten Top 10 Reality Is Setting In

    You know me!! 10 million per cent this! Except not assumed, guardedly optimistic, hopeful and now crushed it ain't happening. Plus, Xavier's Conwell?Cornwell? 16.5 ppg jumped in the portal at the same time. Ha

    Big Ten Top 10 Reality Is Setting In

    I agree, but Wisconsin finishes top 4 or there abouts every damn year....I have been burned multiple times thinking/hoping they'll suck this year. 25 - 4th 24 - 5th 23 - 11th woohoo 22 - 1st 21 - 6th 20 - 3rd 19 - 4th you get the idea...

    Big Ten Top 10 Reality Is Setting In

    No, Indiana will be better because they hired a much better than they had. They will be better because his son is a great three point shooter. AND they will be better because they will spend at least twice as money as we will to buy players.

    Big Ten Top 10 Reality Is Setting In

    Donovan Dent committed to UCLA...their returning point guard who was sub par is now in the portal. The rest of their guys from a 13 and 7 team are all returning. UCLA will be better. Indiana at 9 will be better with a better coach and his 3 point shooting son. Iowa is not in the Top 10 but...

    Three-star Minnesota signee Jacob Ross has requested his release from his National Letter of Intent and will reopen his recruitment

    The distribution is the thing…majority of the top 100 teams want proven players. They recruit transfers and older players from Europe. Freshmen are left with school choices they don’t want to go to…if they find an opportunity. Maybe it evens out after the Covid extra year guys but now they added...
