    All Things Chet Holmgren Recruitment Thread (Class of 2021, Gophers Have Offered)

    Don't short-shrift what just happened after the close of Luka Garza's career at Iowa. After declaring, he puts together a highlight reel NFT. Holds an auction and takes down 40K for himself to keep / donate to Iowa Children's Hospital. Now. Imagine Chet goes to the U of M for 1 year. When he's...

    Tough Recruiting right now

    Not for nothing, but the current coach preaches this sort of thing constantly. If you don't like the way the world looks, do something today to change the way the world looks. "Change your best" "Row the boat" et al. If any of these transfers or high school prospects feel like they want to...

    All Things 2021 Gophers Basketball Recruiting Thread

    Exhibit B: You look at Myles Johnson. Should be tailor-made for Big 10 play. Large. Physical. Even he knows, he would be far better off evolving his play by learning how to play in space and developing his finesse side of the game. Aloha NJ. Hello Cali..

    All Things 2021 Gophers Basketball Recruiting Thread

    Side note: In the near future, I think the Big 10 will be forced to evolve. Exhibit A: How does it benefit the big 10 to let guys like Carr & Kalschuer transfer out of the conference instead of getting the living hell beat out of them? It doesn't. The whistle / culture has to change to favor the...

    All Things 2021 Gophers Basketball Recruiting Thread

    You're not wrong. Quick question. How did Kofi & Illinois do in the dance? Garza & Iowa? Purdue & their twin terrors Williams & Eady? Hmmm, the Buckeyes & Liddel? Answer: not too damn good. Build outside in. Take your lumps during the big 10 season, but prepare yourself to excel versus the rest...

    The silence you hear is not encouraging.

    Not a bit. Last I checked it is a guard dominant game. If you have to, play Jay Wright Style, spread them out, speed them up. Did you see what happened to Iowa against Oregon? Now, we may not have Oregon's athleticism, but the bigs from Iowa were compromised in the that game.

    huh? He would have been one of our best 3 point shooters last year.

    Gophers roster construction-expectations vs. reality

    Really? If we go 8-23 you would consider that a success? You do realize we were projected as a 4 seed in January of 2021? Excuse my while I throw up knowing that this BS is a function of tools on this message board and the booster community. Ridiculousness.

    The last time Gopher Basketball exceeded your expectations?

    In the past covid season, I looked at our roster in October and figured a sniff of the tourney was a pipedream. Then, they struggled in November against mediocre competition before hitting their stride in January. In January they looked like a round of 32 team for sure, then Gach goes down. Then...

    Gabe in Portal

    I am on the record. Pitino was close. This firing has set gopher basketball back 5 years. Embarrassing. And getting worse.

    Fresh Start Liam Robbins Thread

    He hasn’t been at a school long enough to get a degree. Period. Most schools require 40+ credits at their university to get a degree. My guess? Throw in degree requirements there is no way he gets a BS from anywhere but drake or Minnesota.

    Assistant Coaches

    I concur. Tucker has openly campaigned for a role. Why not include Trent, perhaps in a similar way that Indiana added Thad Matta?

    Are we really going to suck next year? I mean, Really??

    Note: if Robbins and Gabe stay healthy, they are a 4-5 seed. Seriously. Look at the schedule, fricking brutal until the injuries set in. Thx to covid, we get no @nebraska early to build confidence (note hoiberg had them playing by March). Anyway. Pitino is gone. I don’t see how they finish...

    Hey! Look at who is back in the transfer portal and who else just entered it

    Pretty obvious. They played hard for the interim guy. Wanted to play for him and now they are considering potentially greener pastures

    When can we start expecting better recruits?

    Never? No stability. Moronic expectations. Chet ain’t coming here.

    Whose Coming Back for 2021-2022?

    Why? Gabe feels like a certainty, true believer. The rest? Why stay??
