    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    Johnson was a disaster. You were right, but it’s time to move on.

    Niko’s roster construction

    No! Chase is going to Clemson, so let’s just move on from that. Maybe after a year Chase will miss those long cold winters and transfer back. He does look like an excellent player!

    MN HS Basketball 2024-25 Season thread

    Looks like Waseca just won behind a junior Deron Russell, who scored 38!

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    That’s because there is almost no production coming back. Only Asuma.

    Or shoot free throws. But let’s wish big Frank well.

    Transfer Portal 2025

    Would “slow” be a better description than plodder?

    Kadyn Betts in the portal

    Time for greener pastures for Mr. Betts, who could not crack the lineup in three years. CU Pueblo might be a good fit, his hometown.

    The Case for Niko (aka Niko’s Case)

    How would any of us know that Ben ignored the advice from Thorson unless we had strong ties to players on the team or the coaching staff?

    The Case for Niko (aka Niko’s Case)

    Niko lost John Tonje to Missouri in the transfer portal 2 years ago, who now stars for Wisconsin. And yet Niko has recovered and is having success. Seems like a good choice if true.

    New Coach Short List

    Fiery is fine, as long as the new coach isn’t a constant whiner and complainer, like the Hurley boys, who have never agreed with any call against their teams, ever!

    COYLE FIRES BEN JOHNSON!!!!!!

    I don’t really know if Johnson was a good coach or not because I’m not a coach. But I do know that lack of NIL funds cost them Hawkins and Payne. With those two guys they would be an NCAA tournament team. Seems like they will continue to struggle if they can’t raise more dollars beyond the new...

    Poll: Should Mark Coyle give Ben Johnson a 5th year?

    I doubt that any successful, high profile coach would take this job because of the lack of NIL funds. Maybe it would be a step up for successful mid major guy with a poor NIL budget.

    What was your favorite Patrick Reusse moment?

    At least he wasn’t revisiting AGAIN growing up in Fulda, and more columns on the overworked and tired topic of town baseball. And meanwhile trying to sound like the cynical ink stained wretch schtick, like he does when on the radio.

    Poll: Should Mark Coyle give Ben Johnson a 5th year?

    The word on Crean is he is a good recruiter and a bad in game coach. Not sure if there is validity, but the first step is recruiting good players. If you don’t have good players it makes little difference how good a coach you are.

    Poll: Should Mark Coyle give Ben Johnson a 5th year?

    The team faltered this year because of NIL dollars to entice Hawkins and Payne to leave. Had they stayed this would be an NCAA tournament team. Johnson wasn’t able to replace them with equal talent. My guess is he gets another year because the $2.9 million buyout is too high to absorb. We’ll...

    Morgan Mathiowetz

    Yes, because of the 2000 points, not because she is from Sleepy Eye.

    Morgan Mathiowetz

    Respectfully, playing for Sleepy Eye isn’t what gets the coaches’ attention. The 2000 points will do it, however.

    Neal: Moving forward with Ben Johnson is the only option for Gophers men’s basketball

    Lack of NIL dollars is a major hurdle that won’t be rectified by hiring a new coach. Any replacements will see that as a barrier unless they are coming from a mid major with less NIL. That’s also why they lost Payne and Hawkins, and were unable to replace them with equally as talented players...

    This year, maybe, but not every year. These things work in cycles.
