JOJ was benched most the half because his recovery early on defense was awful. We do need his assertiveness on offense but he's got to play both sides.
The good thing is that he and Mitchell are both showing improvement. Coming from non power 5 conferences they are starting to adjust and both are Juniors and not just 1 year senior rentals like we've been doing the first 2 years. So this is another foundation we can hopefully build on and they...
To me, if this is where everything is headed, as it seems to be, the system needs to develop into what Soccer leagues across the world do. Institute transfer fees. If I spend the time finding and developing a player and you want him then you have to pay us both. Make my investment worth it...
Looking at Cherry boxscores it looks like his brother and cousin play varsity as well an 8th grader and 7th grader and putting up decent numbers. Wonder what their prospect levels are. If you get one and they turn out to be pretty good could have a potential pipeline.
I'll agree to disagree on this one. Am I super happy with Gophers right now! No, but I see talent with freshman and see a good class coming in next year. Also I am in the belief that Fox and Ihnen would've provided alot of value. Show growth this year and bring in an experienced guard once...
As an Iowa State fan as well it's tough to compare both teams. Minnesota lost nearly everyone when Johnson got hired ISU returned alot of players. Last year ISU offense was rough to say the least and defense carried us. Year two for OTZ and defense is still there but offense has picked up...
Thiam plays for High Point. Starter for them surprisingly. Was very raw and chaotic for us last year averaging 16pts per game this year. Level of competition so far doesn't look great.
Some perspective. Louisville loses again to App State and Syracuse currently down 20 to Colgate! For us I think this year will be opposite of last year we will struggle in the non con especially without battle but we will get stronger as the season goes on. Whereas last year we faded!
Since Curry was a grad assistant first last year before getting pulled back in to play. Anyone think Johnson will find some capacity for him on his coaching staff this year? Don't even know what he could be eligible for.
