    RandBall: U’s Niko Medved says transfer portal recruiting ‘a lot like NBA free agency’

    I think you are right. He certainly has the skill set, frame, and trajectory to be a diamond in the Barn. Not too worried about his ability to shoot 3's at this point in college, but one never knows how far he could stretch it.

    RandBall: U’s Niko Medved says transfer portal recruiting ‘a lot like NBA free agency’

    MN needs a "splashy" signing(s) to get fan base (and media) excited. So far a decent team with a limited ceiling that local fans are cautiously optimistic about.

    Niko’s roster construction

    ...and the NIL/Collective payments made to each program, and a breakdown of each athlete. :)

    100%! Not having access to the War Room, my hopes ride on McGlaughlin (NAU) and Christian Reeves (Clemson) who are still uncommitted. Reeves was a MN recruit originally, but misguidedly went to Dook his first year. Tyson would be good also, but don't want to blow the ROI like NC did. Would...

    BT Powerhouse: Minnesota Basketball Begins New Era Under Niko Medved Amid Massive Roster Overhaul

    MN has to make the most of their roster and overachieve. Overall '25/'26 projection at #79 is interesting, but in the category of "Projected Effective Talent", each team is analytically evaluated. #79 MN currently has the lowest "talent" category in the top 80 at 16.1 (scale of 100). Other...

    What about Asuma not even mentioned? Grove? Reader? All can contribute.

    Colorado State heading into last year

    I think you're right about the core being established. Its a new era in college bb, and coaches have to keep tighter rotations with more playing time per guy. That said, do you have any predictions for production based on last year's data of players coming to MN lineup? Noteworthy stats shown...

    2025-26 Big Ten opponents announced

    I like it. No West Coast swing, home games all winnable, at ILL, Mich, Pur will be tough but not damaging to resume.

    Seth Davis says Minnesota is 2nd-worst job in B1G | BMTN Interview

    Since the '72 Ohio St./MN fight under Musselman which involved a groin kick and many other ugly incidents, MN basketball has been affected negatively. As Hannibal Lector stated in "Hannibal", "People don't always say what they are thinking. They just make sure you don't... advance". Since that...

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    Good to hear. Thank you. I heard the interview with Hawkins and I just sat up and went, "Whoa!". That plus his public demeanor biased me, much like my visceral reaction to Cronin.

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    I couldn't play for Underwood. Coleman Hawkins said in interview why he transferred from Illinois to Kansas St., "..I couldn't see myself going another year through those practices (w/Underwood)". Jakucionis had enough after one year, as did Ivisic X2, Tre White, Morez Johnson, Carey Booth.

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    Tyson has proven to be a P5 defensive liabilty, and his confidence has been shaken playing minimal minutes. My guess is the War Room is not going to overspend on him. I’d be excited to get NAriz Trent Mcglaughlin, but admittedly I don’t know about his ability to defend at a high level, but at...

    Niko’s Report Card Thus Far!!

    Solid B due to portal pick ups thus far, which seem like high ROI players. NIL going well, and despite not having a completed roster MN has no glaring deficiencies. Sign a CG like McGlaughlin and we’ll be ready to compete in Niko’s system. Positive about the future, looking forward to driving...

    Seth Davis says Minnesota is 2nd-worst job in B1G | BMTN Interview

    You're right. He has a fringe audience at best, and usually makes outlandish predictions/statements for the sake of attention. He's nothing to garner too much time thinking about. The facilities at MN are first class. Athletic areas/training facilites/nutritional are are fantastic. Tubby...

    Gophers land a big man....... 6' 10" Nehemiah Turner
