Neither Williams or Edey were quick on their feet. But playing 2 bigs that can neither stretch the floor is usually bad. I don't know you hope the recruits turn out well. But this team just has very little on it. Its 200 level club that currently starts 3 seniors and 1 Junior. Payne is...

Maybe the Roster as a whole but not for the people who actually contribute. On T-Rank Minnesota is 4th to last in the B1G in experience behind Purdue Illinois and Michigan.

No and he isn't particularly suited for NBA basketball

Not to mention he said Izzo was a legendary coach and that coaching was his number 1 priority

He might of talked to him once but Heide was never offered by Xavier it unlikely he was doing serious recruiting

He just got 2 more crystal balls to Purdue looks like a done deal.

There is a difference between the future and recruiting guys will will probably commit in the next several months. Your asking Johnson to Recruit Heide over a school that has finished ahead of the Gophers 7 straight years and his dad went to. Plus has Grandparents living there. Or trying to...

Yeah it will be a heist if Johnson lands him.

well he has his Purdue OV this weekend

Its not over till the fat lady sings, but its going to be unbelievably hard. Purdue is going to probably one of the better teams in the country this year and Minnesota probably won't.

He will Use what he can get its not that feasible to add 12 guys in an offseason.

If you are talking about the full 13 then not this year. Not that their won't be enough to field a team or anything. I would guess he ends up with maybe 10. He will be adding players as long as they are available

Yeah maybe Johnson can build steam or is a great X and Os coach even though thats not really supposed to be his strength. That being Said the hire has looked drastically worse since it was made and it didn't look that great then. He is supposed to be the Minnesota guy but he can't even retain...

Yeah I think people are underestimating how bad this is. The whole building his own team/culture is nonsense. This isn't trimming the fat it losing the whole damn hog. Its going to be hard to recruit guys in 2022 in the summer and fall after they have seen that no players want to stick around...

The semantics are dumb. What matters is that there will be a bigger jump if they are a low major or even D2 so you should manage your expectations. That being said there have been great Low Major and D2 players who played great at the high major level. Plus plenty of Mid or even High Major...

I think Local coaches some times have a double standard. Where they expect Minnesota's head coach to be all about Minnesota players and will be unhappy if they look out of state. While they are happy with out of state of coaches just looking at the local players. So over time the local coach...

I doubt they are telling him he is the next Garza just showing him how much Garza developed.

I'll be happy if it works out but people are putting way to mocha expectations on coach Johnson for next year. It will take a great job to make the team competitive in the conference. The team doesn't project to be good. https://www.barttorvik.com/rosters22.php?team=Minnesota&year=2022...

LLoyd is the best assistant hire in the country its still an assistant hire but he was crucial to the one of the biggest rises of any program in the country. Johnson was helped to make middling Minnesota and Xavier squads.

He isn't going to be a wing in the NBA unless they fail to add any weight on him. Maybe if he is good enough he can duck playing the 5 in the regular season and just do it in the Playoffs.
