    TYSON TO GOPHERS

    I posted this in the roster construction thread: https://gopherhole.com/boards/threads/niko%E2%80%99s-roster-construction.118089/post-3123206 Niko historically has not played very big lineups. While we generally expect that he will need to play bigger lineups in the B1G, I don't know that he...

    Player NIL and TAXES!

    Not disagreeing with your personal experience, but professional athletes pay taxes in nearly every state in which they perform. Link here.

    Player NIL and TAXES!

    RE: Taxes --- If NIL agreements are performed in various states, do the athletes pay taxes in all states in which they perform?

    Who would be your 21st century gopher team?

    It says a lot about the program that Pryz played about 10 games in the 21st century and credibly makes this list.

    Luka

    LeBron is an incredibly difficult player to referee due to his physical gifts and his willingness to frequently be the most physical player on the floor. I realize many believe he gets a friendly whistle - and perhaps he does on the aggregate - but there is no doubt that contact called as a foul...

    Niko’s roster construction

    I'm not in here trying to be a wet blanket; I definitely see the potential. I just think people are underestimating the jump in competition from the ASUN to the B1G. I found nine players that transferred out of the ASUN in the previous two years. This is per Rivals -- if I've missed anyone I...

    Niko’s roster construction

    Definitely looks like we will be playing big wings, which will increase the overall size. I'm not as sold as others that Turner is an immediate B1G rotation player, but that is clearly the current plan.

    Niko’s roster construction

    Yeah, your process was more precise than mine. I took average minutes played per Sports Reference for the players in my height criteria, then divided those totals by 200. This understates the total minutes for the season because it does not include any OT minutes. Since rotation players account...

    Niko’s roster construction

    I generally agree that the current roster is in need of a quality big, but I wanted to look further at the size of Niko's teams in comparison to the B1G. The table below shows the rotation minutes played for each B1G team last season for players 6'8" or taller. I added a row to show the B1G...

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    Is it not equally possible that the situation the school presented failed to materialize? South Carolina just had their best player announce for the NBA. If the school told Eaglestaff either a) this guy is staying and you get to play with him and/or b) indicated they could pay $X and then failed...

    Niko’s roster construction

    Based on his Colorado State teams, it's clear Niko does not value size for the sake of size. Last season's CSU team had 6 players 6'8" or taller; two of those players redshirted and three were in the rotation, averaging a total of 42.1 MPG. Last season's Gopher team averaged 78.5 MPG from...

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    What a chaotic game of musical chairs. These numbers will prove to be overstated if an additional year of eligibility is not announced, and we know players like Mike Mitchell entered the portal based only on that possibility. But if an extra year of eligibility is added? There are going to be...

    Niko’s roster construction

    Reynolds is a very interesting player because he has a unique combination of relatively high usage, high TS%, and low three point volume. Even if he doesn't have an overwhelming athletic advantage in the B1G, it seems likely that he makes good decisions with the ball, which should translate.

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    No inside info, but presumably Niko budgeted a meaningful amount of money for Evans and its still available. It's possible that plus the connection with Coach Gates will earn the Gophers a look.

    Niko’s roster construction

    As Tom Petty said, "the waiting is the hardest part." For fans, the waiting is exacerbated by the complete unknown of how much of the limited resources available have been used on the players we've signed. Personally, I really like Durkin. But I like him a lot less if he's the first option on...
