Just from HS clips, he really looked like a kid that would need a redshirt year. Really no point in wasting a year of his eligibility in a season where expectations are pretty low.

People point fingers at the assistants or players but this play not to lose mentality starts at the top. You can swap out Sanford, Callahan, Wenger and whoever else but the culture remains. I know Fleck studies Saban and he needs to make the same shift in approach that he did when things started...

Him and Callahan should be on the way out

There’s a drop in ticket sales across all sports right now. You’ll see empty seats at Vikings and Wild games and those are typically two of the hotter tickets in the cities. Certainly a combination of lack of enthusiasm for the program and hire but also still some lingering COVID concerns that...

new unis?

annnd I put this in the wrong thread, sorry about that. Looks like a kid we’re trying to get in on early.

Paywalled article but a name to keep an eye on. We’ll see if CBJ can get him on a visit. https://247sports.com/college/minnesota/Article/Minnesota-Basketball-Recruiting-Ben-Johnson-Malik-Presley-4-star-wing-172961385/ https://247sports.com/player/malik-presley-46103342/

It may be time to reevaluate your life if you’re getting to the point where you lose your mind over a football game. We all have a certain level of investment as a fan but it’s pretty pathetic when adults can’t control their emotions.

The guy who runs Sizzle (@grassrootshoops) would openly laugh on Twitter at the suggestion of Suggs playing for the Gophers.

I’m typically the Grand marshal of a crap on Pitino parade but I always found it interesting that none of the big boys went hard after Suggs (interestingly, same with Chet). Particularly Kentucky, I don’t think there’s been a PG in the last few years that was more of a Calipari guard than Jalen...

Any team that’s winning is going to be fashionable in LA, people out there went indoors to watch hockey for goodness sake when the Kings were good a few years back. If he got an interview, I think their administration would really like him (considering what they’re prioritizing) but don’t think...

I hope you’re right! The kid seems pretty skilled but I’m just not sure about his defensive upside. I do think our fans will really take to him, he seems like a character off the court.

So a little confusing and I imagine clarity will be coming soon but is this a situation where he’s back wrestling for the U while the WWE has his exclusive rights when he’s done?

Thompson’s probably never going to be a great post defender but give Payne a couple years in a college S&C program and he should be able to handle those guys. The Gophers need to build for March where versatility wins.

I think we should be encouraged, speaks to how badly he wants to be good sacrificing all the off the court senior year activities to focus on ball. Prolific Prep’s done a really nice job developing guys too, he’ll be pushed everyday in practice.

Landing Tre means nothing without a solid foundation. Penny Hardaway’s put together classes we would dream of and in three years, he hasn’t come close to contending for the title in the AAC. Watchers of the Big Ten should know better than anyone, the importance of culture and in not skipping...

The Johnson hire was always made with a long term view for better or worse. Which is hard to hear as fans that follow the program as closely as us on message boards but it’s the reality of the situation. This is a domino that needed to fall for us as a fan base to fully shift our view on...

I’m talking about casting a wider net much like what we see across the street and getting those kids on campus. When you’re a building program, you want to get as many recruits on campus as you can not just to sell that recruit’s family but let’s face it, kids and coaches talk. Even if we don’t...

though we haven’t got the commits yet, the amount of visits I think is a positive sign. Felt like we had very few out of state visitors in the Pitino era. This kid would be big time, looks like he’s a great student as well.
