The U will probably, and I believe PJ has talked about this, in most cases be a program that will develop 3* recruits to play in their junior and senior years. The key will be keeping these athletes in the program, with little playing time, during their development years. We will never be Ohio...

The lack of depth is a recruiting issue. It falls on Pitino to balance the roster with viable game contributors. We get nothing from the bench. When Carr gets fatigued no help or when Gabe and Willis go cold no help, or Daniel gets tired no help. Even if Coffey would have stayed we still...

Just heard a podcast where Patrick Reusse stated that Pitts flipped the coach off when pulled from the game. If this is true she deserved to be suspended and any teammate who would support that behavior is in the wrong and subject to discipline. That is conduct that is detrimental to the team.

I wish Pitino would give those guys a few minutes so that Carr and Oturi can get a little rest. Richard needs to get a little creative with subbing. He must have so little confidence in Greenlee or Freeman that even 1 or 2 minute stretch would cause problems. He won't even play Payton at...

If you look at the whole quote where he makes the comment about PJ, "I think P.J. Fleck is one of the best coaches in the country. I love him. But basketball just didn’t match what I wanted it to be." It becomes more of a swipe at Pitino and the BB program.

A mistake hire for suspending a player who was exhibiting conduct detrimental to the team? If you allow a player(s) to get away with that type of behavior you will lose the whole team. Coach Whalen deserves time to establish her culture.

Missed opportunity at getting a win in a tough place. Here are a few thoughts about the strategy of the game. 1. Carr needs to give up the ball more. It can find its way back to him. Trust your teammates to play support roles. It isn’t the 5 best players it is the 5 players that play best...

Oturi has a ways to go to be an impact NBA player. He really needs to work on his footwork along with his left hand scoring moves. That being said you don't get drafted on impact you get drafted on potential with the belief that they will develop you into an impact player. It would be tough...

Miles is a better X and O guy. The question is can he keep the some of the Minnesota kids home?

What bothers me most about the MB Program is that they have struggled with Big Ten teams. As documented in earlier post, their Big Team record is bad. Supporters will say that they have been in the NCAA tourney for 2 of the last 3 years, but to get the crowds and Barn rocking they need to do a...

I didn't understand Coyle's contract extension of Pitino. It didn't seem to make sense that he would add a couple years on a contract that still had 2 years left. Pitino hasn't done enough to show that he is the long term answer.

I have seen him wearing the other U of M college apparel Michigan; needs to bleed Maroon and Gold.

Dave Winfield- Minnesota native, baseball HOF, one of MN's best all around athletes.
