    Take a deep breath, it’ll be okay.

    Hmm. So we agree years 1 and 2 were awful. Year 3 you describe as "middling" yet you assert that CBJ is a good coach. So does that mean the players HE recruited sucked? That would be on him I'd say. But sure make up excuses why we lose EVERY YEAR. Some people might not like the...

    Take a deep breath, it’ll be okay.

    I think OK is the word there. Does that team go 2-18 in conference no, do they sniff the tournament, also no. Payne was our upside guy. No one on that roster pops having the ability to take us to the next level. So I guess if you are ok with 7-13 in conference sure that team is fine. But it's...

    Payne in portal

    I am sure there are 10000 legal issues here but this has to end with contracts right? You cant say how much a kid can make sure, but you can hold them to something. Say you want a kid with 1 year left, cool 1 year deal. Maybe you get a freshman in and you say sure we are fine giving you $500k...

    Isaiah Ihnen in the Transfer Portal

    Maybe we've been looking at this all wrong! Now that we have these guys gone who just DOMINATE in practice every day, maybe the others will get their confidence back! 😎

    This is all true...doesn't mean it's wrong. It might take multiple years and multiple coaches but you need to find that guy. It's not impossible trust me. Just because it's tough didn't mean you shouldn't do it. We know CBJ is bad, why keep that going?

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    Patiently waiting for the CBJ blowhards to come out. I mean what are we waiting for now? We were told year 3, watch out! Cool back door NIT. But just wait the soph class! Ohh they're basically all gone? But But Izzo said we were great! Or maybe NIL it's not fair! Face it, CBJ is a horrible...

    Let's ask Izzo! He thinks CBJ is great, I was told that's all the proof we need.

    This is entirely true. I get it, the old guard refuses to believe it but a development program IS NOT A THING. You don't have to give a coach a full recruiting cycle, he's not keeping kids 4 years. And yes we need to find money, again it's not great but it's a fact of life in the NIL world. I...

    Joshua Ola-Joseph Enters Transfer Portal

    So Betts 18 min vs IUPUI ST College are the same as us only have 6 guys capable of functioning in the Big ten tournament? Either way you slice it, Betts and Joj were useless, blame them or the coach, but the result is the same. Terrible

    Joshua Ola-Joseph Enters Transfer Portal

    To me those 2 have been on scholarship for 2 years each and at the end of year 2 both played 0 minutes in games that mattered. That to me is the definition of a miss.

    Joshua Ola-Joseph Enters Transfer Portal

    Someone in another thread used this already but I think he's a lot like Henley. It's going to take the right coach, the right system and for him to buy into a role but he could be a nice piece. But on the flip side of that, if those things don't align he's kind of a wasted roster spot. Him and...

    Talk about a perfect fit! Still raw but a def presence. 40 min of him and Payne would be an elite combo

    College Basketball Transfer Portal Thread - 2024

    I'm not disagreeing with this at all but last year our backup C option was Wilson, so at this point I just assume if the staff knew the others were all coming beck that they were ok without a true backup C. Now I think that is foolish but again just based off of what we've seen this far its the...

    College Basketball Transfer Portal Thread - 2024

    I continue to be baffled by this. One would clearly think the staff at this point knows who is staying/leaving right?? Right now the only logical conclusion is that PP/DG/Fox and at least one of Betts/JOJ is staying and they are very happy with that group plus Grove. Add in most of these kids...

    Does CBJ ever work the officials?

    This I think is one of my bigger complaints with CBJ. So let me preface this, by all accounts CBJ seems like a great human, which in theory is awesome. However, in this level of sports, right or wrong, I think you have to be an a$$hole. I don't like watching Fran or Izzo gripe...but it works! I...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT INDIANA STATE NIT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Ultimately this didn't matter. Sure be nice to have another game or 2 but the NIT means nothing. Next few days to weeks will determine CBJ outcome. If we have an exodus he's cooked, if most stay and we add a piece or 2 could have a nice year next season

    Feels like this type of thing is more likely in the NIT, get behind, on the road and kind of just pack it in.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT INDIANA STATE NIT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    We are just streaky not consistent. This why in games we'd go down 12 up 13 or vice versa.
