Glad that Niko has brought JCJ into the fold. This is a good start but Niko needs to bring in guys at the next level. I hope he can bring in at least one with some chops. Good luck with that. Comparison's of JCJ to Murphy are lacking at this point but who knows as he is still developing. I...

Thats what I'm hearing on GI. Also Niko is making a strong push to bring in BJ Omot

I was never a RP fan for reasons mentioned here. But it seems as if he has matured as a HC and has earned some stripes. What can't a person like about that?

Be like Iowa and have the MN legislature pass a law where Iowa plays Iowa State every year. Wishful thinking on my part considering the nature of Minnesota politics and their Governor..

Suck it up CSU Buttercups! Welcome to the world of college sports! A world in which Gopher fans are well versed.

So who will Niko bring with him other than his family? Someone on GI who claims to have the inside poop says some CSU players are tagging along.

Just hire our new coach. I could care less about his ethnicity.

Like Frank, the new HC will have to be able to bring in better talent. Its out there. Ben did the best he could and I commend his efforts but the newbie HC will have much higher expectations than Betts, Frank, Okudale. Edmonds, etc. The newbie will be starting over much like Ben. But the bar...

Meh. Frank is not a big loss inspite of a decent showing the later part of the season. The newbie HC will have to be able to bring in better talent than Frank. That is the expectation. And the talent is out there.

We need a coach with at least 4-5 successful years as HC at a mid to high level school rather than a one year flash in the pan guy. Medved fits that bill and he won't break the bank. Here are the contract terms for the new deal Niko signed last April. 2024-25: $1.7 million salary 2025-26...

No its more than Blackwell and Tonje. Its about Mn players who are clearly legitimate BIG players who shun staying home. I would gladly take these kids as Gophers. I get it that we cant get them all but kids staying home like Asuma, Perich, etc. make a clear statement that playing for the...

Ben has been widely criticized and rightly so. I did not like the hire and since them I have been critical of his offensive schemes, questionable defense, substitution patterns, unwilling to use the bench, using the same starting five no matter who has really deserved it, etc. And there has been...

If we don't want to be a bottom feeder, we have to beat the bottom feeders.

UCLA could be the best in the BIG at this time. Hope we can keep in under 20 points.

Ben seems like a good man and the players seem to respect him and accept his values and beliefs. But this is one of the things I dislike about Ben. He continues to trot out the same five no matter who is playing the best at the time. Being a starter has a certain stigma that all players...

Refs are lucky to be right 50% of the time. In my world that's an F. Who would want a job like that? Officiating and the game has changed so much the past 20-25 years. Players now are very aggressive with the ball on offense and their hands and reaching in on D. It grinds me when the offense...

Why am I watching this? Well I paid for it and I was hopeful that the last three games would somehow allow us to be competitive. Shame on me. But there is no shame in being a Gopher hoops fan.

No question that Dawson is playing the best overall basketball of his career the past few games. But its obvious that the other's have elevated their game and doing things now that they didn't do before. Frank Mitchell is a good example of that followed by Femi, etc. It seems that whoever gets...

Lots of BIG games to play. Pre-season I was bullish on this squad as Ben brought in a ton of lower level experience but no one that really stood out. Then add in Asuma. Guys that would develop thwir game and compliment Garcia, MM and Fox and hopefully convert their experience to become ready...
