Only a new coach will develop JOJ. Ben has completely given up on him. Just think how much $NIL Cam could get if he could play D!

With Garcia on bench with 3 fouls and Hawkins in locker room getting checked out. Ben won’t have to worry about who he is going to sub in. 🤫

Ben should be fired. He failed to develop his players. He continued to only play 7 guys. Even if they had won today, they would have had no legs for tomorrow.

Legs are gone. Playing 7 will do that.

I saw progress from Ben this year in his team formation. He had a better rounded team. I saw progress in game management this season, mostly coming out of halftime. I was encouraged by the changes. What is frustrating to watch is Ben’s inability to develop his back up players. Last night was a...

Players gassed, players that should be held accountable remain in game. I don’t get it.

I see no adjustments, no attempts to exploit any IU vulnerabilities, no attempt to run some plays to get guys going, and no player development. This is one of the most disappointing games this B1G season so far by CBJ.

When Ihnen plays over JOJ, his days as a Gopher are almost done.

I believe basketball and volleyball teams could play at Mariucci or Ridder for a year, if not permanently. With the decline in MBB attendance, Ridder would suffice.

Payne brings the rim protection that the others lack and a strong inside presence. We will need that in B1G play. I would reduce Garcia’s minutes to around last night’s level. JOJ has a good shot and bounce Nice (minutes distribution) problem to have for a change.

The lack of adjustments, especially in game is most disheartening so far this season. That falls upon the head coach. We finally have a more complete and balanced team, but we are incapable of making strategic adjustments on the fly. USF was well coached and they utilized their player’s...

This is easily the best Gopher team in the last several years. They are depth with scorers at multiple levels. UTSA is a work in progress with 12 new players but Gophers are playing fast and aggressive. Way more entertaining than in many years. Barn will be rocking again when they really jell.

Without lucrative $NIL, with his deepest roster yet, Ben will have to play as many players as he can or there will be mass departures in the offseason. If he has a short bench in our early, “tough” non conference schedule, I will see that as a bad sign. I am looking for a much more athletic...

Bump. Any first impressions of Keinys yet?

He is from New Life Acadamy. Link

The team is much better balanced now and appears to be better defensively. Another big shooting wing or an inside threat would help. Wilson may be a bigger Ogele, but Hawkins and Mitchell are not Samuels.

Are we at 11 scholarships plus 12th for Ramberg, and 13th open? Mitchell, Hawkins, Wilson, Garcia, Ihnen, Fox, Payne, Carrington, JOJ, Betts, and Christie are the 11. I can see Ben giving Reader the last spot or possibly Purcell. Ben has a hard time playing more than 8 guys per game. I hope...

He is by far the best option we have left. He would add stability and leadership at both guard spots. If Ben does not adapt and give his recruits minutes, what little depth there is will be gone and we know now we cannot rely on the portal for a quick fix with this coaching staff in place...

Any updates after his visits?

I am not familiar with Mekonnen. Size? Strengths? Any comps?
