    Rothstein: Basketball Pre-Season Top 45

    Sure, I guess maybe I'm reaching for that exact situation. But I'd imagine most years the Gophers are going to be undervalued in both Basketball and Football because nobody expects anything out of Gopher Sports nationally. I appreciate you keeping me honest here

    Rothstein: Basketball Pre-Season Top 45

    I think the over/under listed at 4.5 for the football team this coming year says it all for me

    Rothstein: Basketball Pre-Season Top 45

    Nobody respects our Gophs in Football or Basketball. We can be Top 10-20 type and they'll throw us outside the Top 45. However, we definitely have to earn our way into the Top 45 with how we've performed the past 3 years.

    Is the 24-25 roster our version of 'Moneyball'?

    I'd feel pretty good that JOJ did not get 500K from Cal. I'd imagine Cal is working with a similar budget to us. Maybe slightly higher. Unless Maddog has really boosted that NIL, which could be.

    Shama: Put this in the 2025 prediction bucket: incoming freshman point guard Isaac Asuma will be the Gophers’ starting point guard by mid-January.

    We're going to have depth, so Ben needs to be able to use that as an advantage. I wouldn't mind seeing us up the tempo against teams with short benches, and teams with slow guards.

    Trey Edmonds commits to MN per On3

    I'm right with you on what you have here. I do think Betts will find his way into minutes this year. He's a talented kid and he needs to make it happen. Ben needs to give him that chance as well. I'm hoping some way, some how, Williams can earn minutes as well. It would just be great to see...

    Returning Playas for 2024-25

    Yes, you got it: Patterson / Asuma / M. Mitchell M. Mitchell / Grigsby / Williams Okudale / Grigsby / Betts Garcia / Fox / Betts Mitchell / Fox / Edmonds It'll be competitive to earn minutes. Betts has his work cut out for him. I don't know who's going to play the most alongside Garcia...

    Returning Playas for 2024-25

    Most complete roster we've had (I'm already assuming Patterson as a lock) Lacking high end talent a little bit but this is the year we UTILIZE OUR DEPTH. Yes, I said it. Use the bench Ben!

    Gopher Basketball Portal Money - $1 Million

    The thing that bothers me most about NIL is that it's not like it's a set number. Especially at Minnesota, I think it's more accurately what the interest / belief in the program is. The potential NIL at Minnesota is big, there's just not that much interest in the product we have right now...

    Femi Odukale commits

    I'd argue he probably should have been playing those minutes last year. I guess the question is will Ben change it or has Betts improved enough to stop Ben.

    Femi Odukale commits

    I think Betts will surprise us this year. I don't think he'll be great, but I bet he gives us 10-15 min per night.

    Does Ben Johnson have any defenders left?

    Right with ya. Jump on board. The roster isn't bad. You never know what guys can come together and have that gel / fit. We'll see what happens. Patterson +1 more and I'm all set ready for next year.

    Does Ben Johnson have any defenders left?

    Agreed, Ben's been bad overall. But he has earned the 4th year. He's piecing together a roster again this year. I think it'll be his best yet due to experience. Still more likely than not we don't dance but we'll see. If we dance, great. If we don't, he gone.

    Femi Odukale commits

    We're going to be more talented, more experienced and deeper at guard than we were last year.

    Femi Odukale commits

    I like this commit, and I don't mind this team once we lock down the Patterson commit. Add 1 more post. Make it a good one. Betts might be able to give us something this year as well.

    Returning Playas for 2024-25

    I do think Ben will pull 1 or 2 more guys at the portal - Yeah I like Asuma's game. Hopefully it comes together for him. He's going to push the pace and move the ball a little bit more I'd like to think. *Also sounds like we're in a good spot for Femi Okudale according to Ryan James piece. 6'6...

    Returning Playas for 2024-25

    Patterson is all but locked at this point. Patterson / Asuma Mitchell / Grigsby Grigsby / Betts / Williams Garcia / Betts / Fox Mitchell / Fox Definitely need another impact player or two if we're trying for an NCAA squad here. Specifically on the wing. At the very least, this team will be...
