Pull out a ruler and look at 2 inches. Personally, 2 inches doesn't matter much, but, I suppose it sounds cooler to say "7 footer" than it does to say "6 foot 10 incher". :)

Wisconsin must have run low on NIL money and hit the clearance rack.

That is a big dude with room to grow.

The UST nonsense is getting old. I'm an alumni of both schools (MN undergrad, UST grad). I don't understand the infatuation the newly minted D1 stepchild has with the U. It is damn near stalker-level and annoying. MN has nothing to gain and everything to lose at this point, while UST only...

The numbers are coming from the Multi-Year Athlete Selection System (MYASS). According to MYASS, Player X reportedly got $2M to sign with Harvey Wallbanger University to play for Coach Whatshisnuts. Every swinging D on the sports journalism planet affiliated with college athletics is...

I sense a potential lawsuit on the horizon. The pimps (agents) see a lot of scratch in their futures with their new, shiny athletic prostitutes. 'Ders gold in 'dem 'der hills!!

Sky Carp crap on everything, eventually, and make a royal mess.

The Gopher digs many tunnels. An elaborate, complex system that provides mobility, shelter, and the ability to stockpile an abundance of resources. It is unseen by most. The Gopher knows there are some big carrots out there. The Gopher is on the hunt.

All roads go through Buffalo.

It's a Mississippi Leg Hound thing. Best to just let 'em finish. :p

Human beings crave certainty. Like any other product, predictability and stability are important features when people are deciding which products to consume and which to avoid. Chaos can work in the short-term, but I feel it is not a long-term winning strategy. The NFL is far from perfect, but...

I'm not exactly sure which is worse - the players or the parents of the AAU circuit.

Baylor lost every player because nobody wants to play for MN and the administration hates athletics. ;) All kidding aside, holy crap. This current system is unsustainable.

That is the dark side of all of this - players leave a program only to find themselves without a home when the dust settles. I have to imagine some level of self-correcting will happen as this becomes more and more commonplace.

The portal closes on April 22, until somebody sues to keep it open. In 2026, we'll have the new In-Season Portal. Change teams at anytime, provided they give a two week notice. By 2027, they will debut the In-Game Portal where fans can pony up spot cash to buy a player off the opposing team to...

"Fist full of guards", not "full list".

Having a guard that can push and create can be a real asset, especially on nights when the shots aren't falling. Sometimes the offense just needs to get downhill and take it to the rim. Forces defenses to honor the dribble drive, which should open up better looks on outside shots. It will take...

Just needed Taylor out of the picture. KG would be a huge ambassador for Gopher hoops.

But can agents still make gobs of obscene money exploiting representing student athletes, most of which have little to no financial literacy or experience with which to draw? :cool:

Lots of hand wringing, arguing and bickering over shadow money nobody has the slightest friggin' clue what we do or don't have. They are all educated guesses at best. Until there is a salary cap and contracts, no collective in their right mind is ever going to release their financials...
