I was thinking a shorter, better shooting Sean Sutherlin.

Starters: Lu'Cye Patterson: 5th year (turns 23 in December) Mike Mitchell: 4th year (unable to find age, probably 21 or 22) Femi Odukale: 5th year (turns 24 in January) Dawson Garcia: 5th year (turns 23 in September) Frank Mitchell: 4th year (turns 23 in January?) Bench: Tyler Cochran: 6th year...

Good for him! Their G league team is moving to San Diego. I can think of worse places. Hope he develops and has a long career.

No thank you, NCAA

For somebody who has not been following this...has there been any indication from Evans' camp that the Gophers are being considered?

Mark Johnson at Minnehaha, and his teammates Brett Watson and Peter Hamburge. Just so smooth and an unstoppable jumper. My dad started taking me to some of their games when I was in 5th grade. I would pretend I was them while shooting on the hoop in the alley.

So it seems like we lost some offense between Christie, Hawkins and Payne and may become more defensive focused this year. But Ben's teams don't have a precedent of playing good defense. With that in mind, would love to hear perspective on what people think is most important to becoming better...

Greenlee interestingly peaked as a sophomore at Florida Atlantic after he left the Gophers. He averaged 10 points, 44% 3PT shooting, 66% FT, 3 assists, 29 minutes. This last season was his super senior year and in 25 minutes he averaged 6 points, 34% 3PT (39% overall), 2.6 assists and 60% FT...

I'm of the opinion that if you have a player who can't see the floor at all as a freshman, they are probably not going to be a major contributor as an upperclassman. However Betts is a player I am willing to be patient on and see if he can contribute this year. We had an incredible log jam at...

I put this guy and the “sane” guy on ignore a week ago and I gotta say it has improved the board measurably.

Only the most serious of conjecture from me from here on out

I posted this in another thread. Nearly every likely contributor will be in their 4th or 5th year post highschool. Ben is really banking on making up a talent gap with experience. I'm preemptively annoyed at the color commentators bringing this up even more frequently than Luke Loewe's fishing...

In case anybody was wondering what the raw numbers were, he shot 2/16 his freshman year.

It looks like Ben's strategy is to put together experienced rosters. Essentially recreating the scrappy 12 seed mid/low major who can knock off 5 seeds because they are all 2-3 years older than the more talented players. While sprinkling in a few local MN guys who want to be here (like a Dawson...

If we get Trey Edmonds and Lu'Cye Patterson...if nothing else we are very old. I don't think this looks like a very competitive team in the Big Ten though. Patterson - 5th year Mike Mitchell - 4th year Rigsby - 4th year Garcia - 5th year Frank Mitchell - 4th year Trey Edmonds - 4th year Fox -...

Would be an interesting pickup. He averaged 2.5 assists per game, 2nd on the team behind Nik Graves (2.8). I wonder if this would mean having less of a ball dominant point guard system next year, after back to back years of having top 10 assists per game guys in Cooper and Hawkins. I wonder if...

Or Athletic Director

Seems like us and Illinois are the only bigger programs in contact, guess it depends on if he wants to be a reserve or a play a bigger role. He only averaged 13 minutes per game at Hawaii. He also tore his ACL in January. Hard to see him being ready to play many minutes in the B10 next year. He...

I doubt he is a bench player unless Christie comes back. Ben has a history of signing transfer players and playing them more minutes than they got at their previous school, even when it was a lower level. I doubt a guy who played 23 mpg for an NCAA team who has more NIL than us is coming for a...

One variable I have not seen yet mentioned, was Pharrell Payne’s back injury. Every time he landed hard I cringed and held my breath until he was able to come back in the game again. Seems like we are trading a higher potential and rim protection, for better rebounding and a healthier player.
