I listened to this podcast a couple weeks ago as well. I'm in comlete agreement on Holloman. I know his national ranking isn't as high as the Jones brothers or Suggs, but I think he's in that tier. By all accounts, he's an influencer type recruit who could help you bring in other guys -...

With the amount of recruiting and money the G League pathway program has been throwing around for other high-end recruits, I'd be shocked if Holmgren doesn't get a massive offer from them. I've always said I'd be surprised if he played college basketball.

What's up with people ripping on Fargo? It's a pretty great town. Good size, not too big, not too small. Plenty to do. Lots of solid bars. Nice places to eat. Decent enough looking gals. Feel free to rip on McFeeley - though the Forum is hardly so ho-dum paper even if it isn't the Strib - and...

Always said Eli has far and away the most athleticism of any of the King boys. He's not as smart or savvy as Owen, nor as big/phyiscal as Noah, but he's rangy and just insanely bouncy. I remember seeing him come off the bench for spot minutes as a toothpick 7th grader as a sniper. His...

He got Mike Hurt, Jarvis Omersa...

I'm confused as to why so many believe, if things continue to get worse and worse, why in January, things will suddenly be better? Parrish didn't cite January as the start date, but that's the date that always gets floated when people are thinking of of solutions. But are things going to be...

I don't care that Zion (or I guess his dad) got paid. I just want Duke to get dragged through the mud.

Don't people make predictions all the time? If someone is predicting that failing to adequately secure a promising recruiting class in 2021 plays a part in Pitino being relieved of his position, that doesn't need to be backed up with anything other than said person's gut feeling. This is a...

Can't disagree with that. If Robbins gets a waiver, the Gophers suddenly have an outfit that looks good enough to break into the middle of the league standings and perhaps save Pitino's job (for better or worse). Without him, I think Gach makes the team more watchable and could potentially...

Didn't read all the quotes so perhaps further context is required, but something just seems odd about a 17-year-old saying he'd be the face of a program. Not saying I wouldn't jump for joy if he committed tomorrow, and as I said, context might make that quote sound a lot different, but it's a...

Is there a more overused word in the basketball scouting community than 'versatile'?

I hate when reporters pander to athletes the way Doogie does. It comes off as desperate

Ok what about the rest of the post

As a fan of college hoops more than the NBA, I hope this guy gets to Michigan State. It would make them awfully good and a pain to try beating, but I grow tired of all the d riding Duke and Kentucky get when top specs go there. Michigan State isn't ever going to be someone's underdog (like...

I'd consider Sweet 16 a run. They've reached the conf. tournament semis a couple of times. Do that, then get to the second weekend. That's a great run. Then get to the point where that's not a great run.

The NIL thing interests me from a Gophers perspective not because of Holmgren, but looking down the road to next year potentially keeping guys like Carr and Gach. I'd bet both are viewing this year as their last year of college hoops through the lens that they want to start making money (this...

If Mutaf shows he can handle Big 10 play and provide shooting, you ramp up his minutes as he shows the ability to handle more responsibility. If he can do it, Williams probably loses playing time. If Williams also deserves minutes, you play Kalscheur/Gach a little less (though I'd be surprised...

Michigan would annoy me. Ohio State would annoy me. Memphis would annoy me (though Memphis isn't as in your face from a national perspective so it might not be awful). Georgetown would annoy me (though they aren't as in your face from a national perspective either). I have no idea if the...

Archie Miller is an excellent coach. Indiana is one of those schools where the expectations are just weird and the coach is just always on the hot seat. I wouldn't be surprised if this season doesn't go great for them despite highish expectations and he's potentially looking for a new home...

Me too. It's one of those things where some people say the bench guys don't get better because they don't play. Others (I'm probably in this camp more than the other) say the bench players don't play because they aren't better and around we all go with the starters continue to log 38 minutes a...
