I'm excited for a few local kids coming back to play for their home state...The downside is losing almost a entire returning team, each transferring out, possibly one of the biggest defection's in college basketball this year...What is questionable is recruiting serviceable replacements, while...

What are you 12 ? Wait I'm insulting young kids with likely more intellect than you offer on your posts. !!!!

We have one possible thing in our favor...Several teams have completed their roster limit, less competition on a decent recruit jumping late in the transfer portal. They would be offered huge minutes in a major conference with plenty of media exposure on the contracted Big Ten Network....

I want to be wrong about Johnson 's not able to land talent for 2021-22 team compared to similar new coaches at other colleges, during the same period within their hiring, so far his recruiting is lacking, I have always been a Gopher fan and want him to be succeed beyond any previous Minnesota...

Far from miserable, realistic on what appears to be a Gophers team not able to recruit on the same level with similar teams, for example Iowa State, with a new coach in March 2021 {T.J. Otzelberger} a losing record {2-22} yet they have recruited several transfers like 4-star forward Tristian...

It is difficult remaining positive looking at similar new coaches who were hired about the same time Ben Johnson was and their ability so far to ensemble a roster for 2021-2022....The only incoming High School player is Treyton Thompson who was a Pitino's recruit, if you check new coaches it...

Sunday May 9th in 247-sports he talked about having interest in Cincinnati, Arkansas and Kansas, without mention of Minnesota....I doubt we are a front runner in his recruitment......

I would not get overly excited on the assumption Ody Ogauma has the Gophers listed near the top of college interest....Sunday May 9th in a interview {247-sports} he broke down a capsule review of 3-teams {Arkansas-Cincinnati & Kansas} reasons to transfer to....Minnesota was not mentioned....The...

Minnesota's roster at present is down to 8-players with 5 playing a similar position combo guard/small forward and not one is considered consensus 4-star player... I'm confused why players like Gach, Johnson, Mitchell to name a few would leave Minnesota where they likely in 2021-2022 gain...

It appears looking at our current roster the style of offense will dictate the type of player Ben Johnson has recruited so far and possibly similar players still to be added . The transfer portal was loaded with about 130-140 power forwards & centers, with less than half as serviceable starters...

Jordan Murphy was not the tallest {6-6 ft} but he was a solid 245lbs with a strong upper body & hands, he seldom got backed-out in the frontcourt, the Gophers present roster has no one even close to his physical ability.. Several posters are hyping Steffon Mitchell {if he decides to join Mn.}...

The Princeton type offense which emphasizes on fluid motion, open spacing, picks ,back door cuts and skilled 3-point shooting. Coach Pete Carill thrived with this offense in the Ivy league against teams using zone defense and protecting the frontcourt...The counter to this style is matching up...

Minnesota does not even have enough rostered players to have a proper scrimmage, meaning with so many college teams including some mid-majors already have filled their rosters with the more skilled & highly rated players from the transfer portal while depleting the realistic talent...my...

Bottom line....We all want Minnesota to succeed moving forward, thru the years we seen several kids with star potential leave the state for other programs...With a new coach there is always hope in his ability to recruit the best players in state or any location and of coarse be able to coach-up...

2018-2019 Gophers had 3-centers.....6-10 225lb Daniel Oturu.....7-0 245lb Matz Stockman and 6-7 250lb Jordan Murphy, who at that weight was a very physical player...the year before our center was Reggie Lynch who was 6-10 and 265 lbs.....Maybe you are confused with another team ?

New entries in the Basketball Transfer is slowing down to a crawl, center position alone has only six unsigned transfers, of the six only Moussa Cisse of Memphis U has any real talent, and has shown no interest in Minnesota...The cream of the crop of all positions has been depleted, even by a...

The teams you named were loaded with 4 & 5 star rated player , very quick and athletic...Last time I looked our roster is mostly 2 or 3 star mid-major players, and likely are best player will be a transfer from D-2...I wish the gophers well but comparing our roster in potential ability to the...

Hardly think 200lb 6-7 Mitchell is a realistic center in the Big Ten against common frontcourts that average in physical presence about 240-plus lbs and height advantage well over 6-10 or bigger.. Either way, when did we sign Steffen Mitchell ? Last I heard Minnesota was one of 4-teams he had...

Additional front court players ? Maybe you have not checked the the transfer portal, in a example the center position at present is now down to only 7 unsigned players, only one {Moussa Cisse} considered a 4-star talent, the remaining 6 have shown little on previous teams, and as of today no...
