We don't know what kind of NIL deal he had been promised under the previous coach. No question Jefferson would have been worthy of a scholarship. The question was whether or not Niko wanted to allot the money necessary to keep him, particularly very early on in the process. It's not...

The automatic bid incentive from the conference tournament champion probably gets more eyeballs on those tournaments, but I would prefer the regular season champion gets the automatic bid. Maybe make the conference tournament champion get an automatic bid to one of the other postseason...

This doesn't get anywhere near the top of the list of things that will keep me up at night in either case, but I voted "yes". I don't really think the term banned or censored in the question is the appropriate term. I would argue for limited in the same way content is limited for other...

Would the player be allowed to sell ad space on the mask? More financial windfall!

How do we even know whether or not this is a better roster? We could probably look back at the spring threads every year and optimistic viewpoints reign. Not intended to be a shot at your post here. Optimism and looking forward to the next year is part of being a fan. But it's impossible to...

It isn't about holding the spot. It's about holding the money it would require.

At one point, the goal was to target players that had more than one year of eligibility left. Now the priority might be to target players that in theory have zero years of eligibility left. Might as well rip off the term limit band aid too, I guess. This has gotten so stupid.

I don't remember the issue you are referencing, but Sports Illustrated absolutely has utilized regional covers many times.

I didn't see the play last night so I'll take your word for it. The reputation is well deserved. unfortunately.

His talent level is matched only by his immaturity. Just inexcusable.

Interesting write-up on the Johnson hire.... Would Johnson have been hired at Minnesota if he wasn't a Minneapolis native who played for the Gophers from 2002 to 2004? The bet here is no. While there is nothing wrong with hiring a coach who has ties to the program -- see favorable grades...

@Otis is also doing this in the Niko's Roster Construction thread. Updating the first post.

Meh. For my money, I like having a thread devoted to generic transfer portal news as the title of the thread suggests. We have enough Gopher specific threads including the Niko roster construction thread to deal with Gopher news. If we start opening threads specific to other teams, I'll agree...

It was a great basketball game.

Must Have Minnesota Connections! Or we are not interested.

In fairness, these threads never stay on topic so it would be hard to legislate what/when/how these threads are allowed to turn. This thread turned into a debate on how valuable Asuma is going forward. Clearly his usage impacted his performance and that ultimately is on Ben Johnson. So it...

Is there an option between..... (a) if he wasn't from Minnesota we would be looking to replace him and (b) he is one half of the best guard tandems at Minnesota of the last 35 years? If so, I would take that option.

Miles Tarver?

Thank you sir. You have a much better chance of keeping up with this than I do. 👍
