To clarify the stat, I based it on the top 100-players ranked by 247 sports minus the top 25-five star talent likely with no chance or interest playing for the Gophers...The remaining 75 ranked are considered 4-star talent which case Minnesota would have a more probable attempt to recruit.. As...

I only hope the best for Johnson & the gophers, but it is a concern Minnesota, a team in the Big Ten can not recruit on a even level with mid-pack teams in their league or even several smaller colleges with minor media exposure...Johnson , like several new coaches who were hired in March, with...

My opinion only, Johnson entered as coach in a great potential recruiting year, and I'm not pointing out having the top player in the country instate {Holmgren} undecided at the time of Johnson being hired ...In 2019 the basketball portal had 900 players transferring out of their previous...

Miracles do happen, but expecting positive results from the only two frontcourt players on the Gophers roster, both previous limited bench players, one from a minor level college, the another a backup center on his high school team will be extremely overmatched in the physical & sizeable Big...

Looking at the several new recruit replacements for the Gophers, they also lacked interest by major schools in recruitment....As far as assuming these new players have "Big Ten" ability, it is highly questionable without actually seeing them play against that level of competition......

If this was a legal tendered bet on a team with realistically no reliable front-court, a team composed of mostly 2-star and a couple 3-star ranked players not to mention only 2-players {Ihnen & Curry} having logged a few minutes together playing in a major conference, the imposing Big Ten....I...

If you value a players previous performance on the court in the past, I doubt you have a realistic consistent star on the present team....The roster is void of any player ranked higher than a 2 or 3 star recruit by mainstream scouting publication. Possibly one of these players will emerge and...

Players similar to Garcia likely will choose a college program with a core of talented higher level proven players in aiding one's abilities to progress as a potential NBA player.. Without a doubt a high profile player will choose a college with national media exposure showcasing his talent...

Gopher-MB is based on opinions formed by assumption or fact... Fact is, I realize Ben Johnson has attempted to recruit higher profile players in the massive over-stocked transfer portal with minor success....My take is not a knock on Ben Johnson's effort, ..."but why"... several players like...

Likely players similar to Khadim Sy desire to utilize a college team as their steeping-stone to a pro career.... Exposure on a main stage nationally in tournament action or a winning team featured on a major network easily could sway a recruits interest along with the type of talent he is...

Wake Forrest recently lost PF-C Ody Oguama to Cincinnati, he is a target for his replacement on the roster...Clemson has little production from present frontcourt, which is also a big concern and also has their sights on Sy..... Never say never, lets hope Ben Johnson is able convince him to play...

Several new coaches hired about the same time or even after Ben Johnson have received at least a verbal commitment from several high school players , no doubt Minnesota, will have numerous openings in in 2022-2023, simply the longer a player is indecisive likely he is very interested in...

Likely Ben Johnson swung and missed on attracting a few of the solid offensive/defensive or borderline 4-star frontcourt type players in the portal, sought also by numerous major colleges...His direction now might shift to filling the roster with considered average or previous bench talent that...

On paper the present roster would have trouble against St. Thomas...other than a unproven freshmen {Treyton Thompson} we have no one to rebound or defend the rim...The assumption by many, the Gophers will still add frontcourt help and bench strength to at least be somewhat competitive even if it...

As of today the Gophers can barely start a lineup, guessing a win/loss record without knowing a complete roster is almost pointless....With no proven front court player or bench the outlook for winning a handful of games could be a probable reach...A likely assumption, we will add several more...

If I remember correctly Dave Winfield, important member of the 72 Gophers Big Ten Champion team was discovered playing intermural basketball at the U...Strange things do happen.....

The point is everyone on this MB is waiting to see who or what type of players will be added, the portal still is receiving a few recent serviceable additions but overall it has been deleted of quality rated players that filled a high percentage of other college rosters. .I think we would like...

Why would it matter how long I have been on the MB or returned in this area, I have always been Gopher fan since the days of Clem Haskins, who I was able to know...If you think I'm the only one with concerns, maybe take the time read all the postings on this forum, several have voiced a similar...

I think replacing players like Robbins frontcourt talent, Carr's scoring , Kalschuer's Defense, Johnsons blue collar effort and possibly a emerging potential of Mashburn, mixed with new additions could have been formable....It would have been interesting to see if Ben Johnson could better...

Likely we will fill a roster.. quantity... can be found at various levels,....quality....is another story...
