Tony Liebert @TonyLiebert · 3m BREAKING: Colorado State transfer forward Jaylen Crocker-Johnson has committed to the Gophers, @TravisBranham_ was first.6-foot-8, averaged 9.0p and 4.4r per game on 49.1/35.4/75.9 splits last szn. He will have 2 years of eligibility remaining

Lot of flexibility at the 3....Fox and Battle both could play the 3. Imagine if Purdue throws a big lineup at us...we now have so much lineup flexibility.

I am worried about Thompson....but who knows maybe he will redshirt this year. He surprised me last year.

It would be a good thing....almost too many post players now.

I bet someone transfers out now....When someone like Garcia signs another hits the portal.

Battle now a gopher. Just tweeted it

Andy Devine @andydevine18 Hey @DWolfsonKSTP so many former MN high school basketball players entered the transfer portal. Who are actual options for the Gophers we should keep an eye on? Ben is making moves and growing on me so far... Let’s hope he can land some of these guys! Darren...

Jacobson, Saunders, Mitchell, Tim Miles, Saul Phillips, Craig Smith, and Gates. I would have been happy with Dutcher, Musselman, or Mike Miller.

How about Shaka, Tim Miles, and Saul Phillips...the other favs? They haven't had much success either.

I felt that way during the season with that roster. Let them laugh now. What is the difference?

If you wanted all the negative post Cliff Notes.

15 years as an assistant isn't chop liver. There is experience there. HC Experience can be rectified by bench coaches. Pitino had an experienced bench coach here his first year. Ben is 40 years old....Pitino was 30 when took this job I believe. There might be a whole lot of "what not to do"...

I wanted Shaka 8 years ago and I would have been wrong then.

?? So you are guessing? Prob more skill than the original recruitment. Same applied here. There are busts (like IW was) doesn't mean that Ben did or didn't agree.

When we hired Pitino we were upset we didn't get Shaka.... Shaka 109-86 at Texas Pitino 141-123 at MN Were they the 2 best for the job (hind sight 20/20)?

You know this how?

Who do you think he may have more impact with....Pitino or Johnson? Pretty sure Pitino listened to his dad more than any assistant for recruiting.

The last three "big time" Coaches we hired were Tubby, Monson, and Clem....in a sense all three got us into the tourney but were somewhat dissapointments. Out of all the ones mentioned....Musselman might be the only one in that class.

Easy to say that but in the end who decides which recruits get signed (HC).

Getting Thorson back on staff would eliminate that issue (HC experience). Thorson can recruit locally better than most. I don't remember too many poor DeLaSalle teams either. Even his lesser talented teams were good. Don't know too much who else on Pitino's staff is worthy of keeping...
