    A Decent pre-season projection (sort of) and nice write-up for a change (from CBS no less)

    It sure seems that Niko will have a deep bench and no one should have to play tired. That's a good starting point for playing tough defense.

    TYSON TO GOPHERS

    We had muscle in Big Frank, he was just too short.

    Niko’s roster construction

    The 4 is a little thin on this roster. But then Garcia... :)

    Like Roster Medved Has Built

    I am hoping that coach makes a gem out of Turner. He is a wild card that could vault this team up the standings, if Medved can get him in great shape and make a big time player of him.

    TYSON TO GOPHERS

    Great get! Time to get greedy, let's go get one more big guy to finish this off.

    Love it!

    Player NIL and TAXES!

    That exemption should be looked at again now, considering that the financial landscape of sports has changed. With social security payments, for example, if you have other income your social security earnings begin to get taxed more heavily. I think this should be done with college sports now if...

    Player NIL and TAXES!

    The NIL money is taxable, that is a no brainer. I think you are correct that the other benefits they get, including the scholarship value, should now be taxable benefits as well. If one works for a company ( as really these athletes are now doing) and gets a car to use- that's a taxable benefit...

    Tyson to Minnesota?

    One complicating factor- the House Settlement has not been passed yet. So it may be that the waiting game is about that?

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    They are the ones drawing the double and triple teams as soon as they drive.

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    It was a bad hire from the beginning.

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    Oh I agree with that. I am not really referring to him but to the situation where a number of good players may be still looking for a home and we could still get one. I have no idea who that could be and this kid is almost assuredly not the one we get.

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    This is a situation that I thought could happen. The big boys have their starting lineups in place and have spent a lot of money. Now you have some really good players left who need to find a place that gives them two things: 1. A nice bag of NIL money 2. A feature role that positions them for...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    We dribbled a lot and settled for threes. OKC went to the hoop. I thought Edwards, who is my favorite player by far, mailed it in, in the 4th quarter. Go down fighting instead of laying down.

    Crickets

    I still think they will get a few more. You have to have more than 10 for the sake of practice and inevitable injuries. I think they will get one more rotation guy or better.

    Pretty impressive, COY- everywhere he has been.

    Williams Arena named 33rd best atmosphere in CBB.

    I think that seems about right.

    Rutgers

    In the old days of real college basketball, Rutgers would have been set up to roll next year. With the two cornerstone pieces they would have added a few extra guys and everyone would have learned the system and they would win big. In 74-75- the Gophers had Thompson, Ray Williams, Lockhart...

    Williams Arena named 33rd best atmosphere in CBB.

    It's the old chicken and egg issue. Which comes first? I'd say the product has been too bad for too long to expect more. My guess is that will begin to change this year!
