Hah - I remember touring Morris back in the day. “We have a movie theater!” At least I could have played baseball there…

Yeah when there are 2000 in the portal and we’re posting about maybe 40-50 kids… bound to be surprises. Still a fun exercise I suppose. Thankfully I think this goes to show that these coaches are continually grinding regardless of what we think.

Yeah probably gonna have to get out of the “daycare” phase of life, but thinking this type of event would be awesome some day. Appreciate the share.

Gotta love these ranking based on the library size at a University…

That might actually be McCollum’s play at Iowa. It might even work in this new NIL era. Pay 8 players, slow the game down to a crawl so you could theoretically only play 6. Fill the rest of the roster with scholarship practice bodies.

2029 Fighting Niko Gophers break the trend!

Even with Ali becoming Head Coach, I expect (similar to the slow dissolution of our incoming class) that the CSU sophomores and Minnesota freshman will likely slowly make there way onto our radar. Just takes time. Then use that to figure out what else the roster needs!

Gone portaling! Anyone know if it’s no contact? Let the snowball begin.

Getting less and less confident in next season by the day. It’s still super early.

Only thing I will mention is that the other two Drake coaches are bringing their stars (former MVC players of the year) with them. Hopefully Niko can bring enough talent where one of them becomes a star. Otherwise he’ll have to dominate the portal elsewhere (which he may very well do). Just most...

Minnesota and the Midwest were his hotbeds, now hopefully that continues and only further develops!

Coach Nico ;-) will figure it out

Need Gobert to help out!

Dude I think most of what you do on here is a nearly impossible task! All good.

Would also be interesting to have a list of portal players that we have offered / reached out to (although that might be asking a lot). Appreciate you!

Depends on how much consistency he can bring from his previous roster/regime and then ability to fill the roster holes with transfers. Anything can happen, but the non-conference schedule is also very important if we end up near the bubble at all. Looking forward to being in the conversation!

Interestingly enough… That’s essentially what Drake was this season (except it came from the D2 ranks). All the continuity from D2 championship teams that followed the coach. Hard to do that very often!

Ben will have to wipe his tears with the $100s from his contract. $8 million for a few years of his life seems like a bargain if you ask me…

My bad. Old habits die hard. 1st to Hall of Fame wins!
