    new roster takes shape

    Ur right. I miss-typed. Proballers site was my source for most players. Should be 23 yrs old. Thx.

    new roster takes shape

    We'll see firsthand if experience means as much as we think. The top 10 rotational players expected for MN have an average age of 23.2 yrs. If Asuma is included in that rotation, the average age drops all the way down to 22.7yrs. old. As best as I could, here is the breakdown with comparisons...

    Is This Ben's Best Ever July Roster?

    Players are kept happy by contributing in their way independent of minutes and winning.

    Is This Ben's Best Ever July Roster?

    Just for fun here in the silly season. I compared the scoring rates of recent transfers into MN from bigger D1 schools vs. smaller D1 institutions in hopes of gleaning some insight into scoring expectations. First year after transferring in, with a small sample size of high minute players...

    Is This Ben's Best Ever July Roster?

    Yea, 100% true. I just estimated what Garcia is likely to do, took normal expectations from the known commodities, and downgraded the contribution from the unknown coming from lesser conferences. Most glaring adaptation: Not expecting Caleb Williams (21pts/game DIII) to contribute nearly as...

    Is This Ben's Best Ever July Roster?

    Deepest and most intriguing roster, complete with no glaring weaknesses. Most pressure imo will be on FMitchell as the 5 to provide post presence, dish out, and rebound. Not having seen a lot of the new guys play many games-- Garcia (5th yr) obvious starter will be back at natural 4 stretch...

    Toledo’s Tyler Cochran commits to Minnesota.

    Its hard to get actual data, but MN has to be the oldest team in college bb

    Fox 9: Gophers: Who are the new faces for the 2024-25 basketball squad?

    He was very weak with the ball going to the basket

    Fox 9: Gophers: Who are the new faces for the 2024-25 basketball squad?

    Laugh it up all u want, but I believe that’s the plan. Every kid wants NBA, and when Coffey was entering the rotation he couldn’t hold the ball in traffic. Betts is being groomed. Not saying he’s there now but he could be later.

    Fox 9: Gophers: Who are the new faces for the 2024-25 basketball squad?

    I believe CBJ has Betts in development phase to be the "next" Amir Coffey-type, which would be the most likely position at the next level. Betts is very quick with good hops, shooting mechanics, and if he put weight onto his frame he'll be the formidable wing you seek. Defense is unknown. He...

    Fox 9: Gophers: Who are the new faces for the 2024-25 basketball squad?

    I would think CBJ has had that conversation with Betts, and he will see time at the 3.

    The Athletic: Big Ten basketball transfer portal tiers (Tier 5 out of 5: Minnesota and wisconsin)

    I'm just going to take one year at a time and hope for the best. MN does have some talented recruits in the pipeline, and the portal will be a constant.

    The Athletic: Big Ten basketball transfer portal tiers (Tier 5 out of 5: Minnesota and wisconsin)

    I love when "experts" declare power rankings, winners and losers, etc. After looking at all the Big Ten teams, additions/subtractions I can make an argument against any team NOT winning the conference, and how every team AT BEST will have at least 6-7 conf. losses, and the worst team will have...

    Ben Johnson Press Conference - Summer Update + Player Interviews

    Betts could be a breakout player! He stayed for a reason.

    Ben Johnson Press Conference - Summer Update + Player Interviews

    I would take 12th in conf. right now, looking at the strength of the Big Ten. That would likely put MN on the bubble, and would mean that MN likely had a 10-10 record. I would love to see that, and in no way would CBJ be fired imo.

    All Things Gophers 2024-25 Schedule Updates

    Ha! 100% right. I shouldn't be posting at work! So how many non-conf games will be added?

    All Things Gophers 2024-25 Schedule Updates

    Last season MN played 11 non-conf scheduled games and obviously 18 regular BTN games. So far there are 7 scheduled non-conf games (Yale, Mizzou, ORU, Cleve St, FD, 2-Fla/Wake/WichSt) but with 20 conf games scheduled. With travel, etc. MN may elect to only add a couple more non-conf games...?

    NCAA Basketball: 10 coaches who will face the most pressure entering 2024-25 season (Ben Johnson, Minnesota)

    CBJ, the non-conference schedule and record (for all the Big Ten teams) is going to be highly scrutinized this next season. In my opinion, there is going to be such a large group of strong teams around .500 in conf. that the MM committee will likely have to consider upwards of 12-13 teams for...
