    Tschetter shoots better and is more mobile, so yeah, not on the same level.

    U: First person you think of when you see this picture? (The Barn)

    This is a good one too. Even before my dad took me to games, it was Ray on WLOL. Ron Johnson, Ray Cronk, Eric Mangdanz, Bill Davis, Mel Northway....

    U: First person you think of when you see this picture? (The Barn)

    This brings a tear. Always my dad. The original Lefty. He used to get me out of school to go to the state tournament, plus many a Gopher game. Most vividly remember Lou Hudson scoring 20+ against Illinois with his right arm in a cast. Made me choose number 14 as a player.

    There are no sure things, but I agree here that this guy could blossom....even at a high major level. there is no question in my find that small town kids get evaluated in less depth than the big metro area dwellers. Save me all the “no high offers,” evidence. Some ones gotta be the first, and I...

    Carlson cannot shoot very well. if he learns to play his role, do the dirty work and rebound, he will be a plus player, but if he insists on playing on the perimeter (his current inclination) he will disappoint. Tschetter can be the whole enchilada. Greg Gard needs to get out more,

    Carlson, IMHO. Is a role player....this guy has more potential.

    He’s fine. Creates room with jab steps and step backs. Quick release. Not saying he’s an instant star, but he’s better than Ben Carlson already.

    Roster building has been his everlasting shortcoming, and he lacks any staff members with local knowledge.

    He should be offered. Period. Then spend time vetting each other to see if the fit is right. He would fit fine with Thompson. Two bigs who are capable of stepping outside to shoot. i don’t see a problem there. We would still need a point guard in that class. Unless Mashburn can surprise.

    If Carr is not back, a covid resurgence to cancel the season may not be so bad. (wishing no ill health on anyone)

    Willis to Grad Transfer from Minnesota

    Walton played on a great AAU team with Garcia, Ben Carlson, Crowl, and two Eden Prairie kids. A team that lost one game last summer? I don't have his numbers handy, but they were good. Walton is much more physically imposing than Gabe....and a better prospect....and I really like Gabe.

    Minnesota kids you really enjoyed watching

    I think Steve Cunningham was the post player on that team. 6-5, went on to play football for the Gophers. Still (I think) the only Blue Jay to play football at MN.

    Utah State wins MWC tourny over #4 SDSU -- hire Craig Smith now??

    I will agree with you that we have a better defensive identity.....but we still don't pressure the ball. Of course Carr has to play 40 minutes (does he) so would no doubt kill himself if he played pressure defense. You lose me when you say he's "recruiting with a purpose." Greenlee and Freeman...

    Utah State wins MWC tourny over #4 SDSU -- hire Craig Smith now??

    I believe if Coyle can make a home run hire (someone HE covets) he will do so shortly after the season ends. But the $2,000,000 buyout is an obstacle, and he won't just fire Pitino without a solid plan. Pitino has turned over his staff once without taking any steps forward. He has his new...

    Why did Ben Johnson head to Xavier?

    The head coached blamed his assistants for recruiting results and swept them out.
