    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    I'm selfish. I don't care if he ever develops a jump shot. Metrics show that the 2 best shots are #1-the 3 pointer. #2-close range 2's. He is a monster at close range 2's. I hope he never attempts a 12 ft jumper. Obviously the 3pt shot is only good if a team can shoot a decent (38%??)...

    Brevyn Spann-Ford Senior Bowl measurements

    If I was a pro scout looking at TE's I would create 2 hi lite video's. One showing BSF's great plays and another showing his miss blocks and dropped passes. I would show both to BSF and then ask him. "Who are you?" "Which one?" Curious minds would like to know.

    Ben Johnson is NOT a disaster....

    Ben had better have a plan. over 90% of D1 teams lose players to the portal every year. He may not know now, but when a player decides to leave MN, Ben had better have an IMMEDIATE plan IN PLACE to address that move. Expect the unexpected and have a plan in place. I don't want to hear any...

    Coyle to be extended to 2030

    Someone please explain the logic behind this? He is already under contract through 2028. Four more years. Is he so hot that some other Univ will snag him up unless we give him an extension? I can see extending coaches because if you are good (Ben is not) other schools will steal you away...

    Enjoying Gopher Basketball

    If we are playing on weakling Wednesday this year, you think he deserves a 4th? If we are the same next year (weakling Wednesday) you think he deserves a 5th? How low is the bar for you Stoker?

    Enjoying Gopher Basketball

    Good enough this year? Currently in 9th. Will that be "good enough" if we end the season in 9th? Put metrics to that statement. What would "pretty disappointing" be to you? To me, we are already there. If we finish 10th or better (no weakling Wednesday) I am good with a 4th year. To...

    Enjoying Gopher Basketball

    My guess? Not a specific #. Not a NIT or NCAA bid. It has to do with a couple of things. How does the team look. Do we win the games we should win. Are our losses close and we don't look like a dumpster fire on the court. So, more than a decent W-L record. Intangibles. If the second...

    CENTERS

    I watched the NW v Purdue game last night. Pretty much need someone/something to challenge a Edey. But, like others, I agree it is somewhat situation. My advice to Ben: Construct a proper roster. Don't NEED a 5/center and then not have one available.

    Wholly crap! My sarcasm alert is screaming right now. He should get a (negative) performance bonus. Like pay the school back at least half his salary.

    Enjoying Gopher Basketball

    Rockchalk gave a specific example of a new HC turning a program around. Your response? Inferring that he is the extreme exception and Ben's first three years is the normal situation for a new HC. BS!! If that is true, give us examples of the numerous new HC's who have been absolute dumpster...

    Umm, we knew literally before Fox picked up the pen to sign. He actually got hurt PRIOR to signing on the dotted line. I'll grant you we didn't know about year two (injury) but many/most athletes do not come back 100% after that first injury. I'm happily surprised the way Fox is playing and...

    Do you see 3-4 more BIG 10 WINS?

    Great breakdown. Thanks for putting that together. Before the season started, I said 7 BIG wins +/- 3. I was betting the under which would be 6. I hope it goes one way or the other. Win them all or lose them all. I want it to be obvious which way to go at the end of the season. If we win...

    Parker Fox is leading by example: aggressive, tough, fearless

    His history seems pretty straight forward. He played 3 FULL seasons prior to arriving on campus. We knew when he showed up that we would have him on the court for one season. This is that season. I can't see a reason to give him one more. Would I love it? Of course. Don't see it happening.

    Next Gopher Head Coach

    No, but they do get fired by taking LAST place in the conference 3 years in a row. Their(Ben's) first 3 years on the job and their first 3 years as a HC at ANY LEVEL.

    3s

    I agree, I think, and I will submit that our remaining schedule is closer to the toughest 8 games (so far) vice our cupcake non conf schedule. I am concluding that if nothing changes then our 3pt% will most likely be closer to our recent struggles and not as ^ as our early season success from...
