Nadine actually asked the questions I wanted to hear. Good for her. Hang the banners and play St Thomas!

Thorson staying

My favorite thing about Niko is his Minnesotan accent.

Both coached at Drake for 1 year too

I am about to sound insane and like an idiot. Payne is a great player and can be a top player on a really good team. But, I don't know how well he fits in Niko's system. Princeton offense which means you want 5 on the floor who can dribble, shoot, and pass. Payne is a good player but does not...

Coach killer? Are you basing this off us hiring two coaches with combined 1 year of head coaching experience? Did they succeed here? No, did Pitino learn lessons from his failure and grow as a coach, yes. Pitino would do much better if he was hired today. When we hired him he was not ready for...

One of the things I have seen he is interested in is staying close to home. $$$ talks though so who knows. I trust Niko to fill out the roster with the right players that fit his system.

Do you want to start the Niko Medved is a Disaster thread?

Let's see if you can go 2-2 with your predictions. If Dawson somehow gets an extra year of eligibility, I'll start calling you the Oracle.

Yup they are banged up. Peaked too early this year.

Might be best case scenario for us, getting to announce the coach. Get started on the transfer portal.

I've heard he turned it down. Pretty sure he signed at Minny already just waiting until the tourney run to announce.

That's my one concern but the develop Niko has shown will help. He can find talent with his current players or elsewhere.

You hear anything about the CSU sophomores or Minnesota kid?

Clemson looking like first half Gophers. 9 turnovers 4 fgs.

That's my hope. Recruit players to your system. If you can do it at CSU you can do it here.

I'm not too worried about it. Medved is an alum, gopher fan, and very strong ties to the state. It's his job not his wife's job. I'm married and my wife is from Green Bay. If I had the option to take the Vikings coaching job vs the Packers, there wouldn't even be a hesitation.

I've heard it is NIL related. WVU NIL budget is ~$5 mil, and Iowa is lower. DeVries doesn't want to take the job if there are less resources. Now I call BS on WVU having a ~$5 mil NIL budget. WV is a poor state GDP per capita wise (not a perfect indicator of wealth). They have some wealthy...

100% Niko is the guy, and we probably don't need this thread much longer. But it would be helpful for others to follow or know what they are getting into by having the proper thread. I have things to add but not enough to start the thread myself. Plus I am saving my first thread to be "Niko...

Better yet, why even play the game. We didn't lose in the tourney, claim it a Mickey Mouse Tournament and declare ourselves champions. While we are at it hang the Final Four Banner too.
