I don’t see it working out that great. He’s probably not a Big Ten player tbh

If we get 3 years out of a player compared to a 1 year rental, we will have a better chance at building culture. The football team isn't losing their premier kids on a regular basis. Outside of Bucky Irving what other guys are we losing there that have been impactful. A roster full of transfers...

We lost a transfer who we got from the portal, and two of the three MN players we didn't retain left for reasons they would have before NIL or the portal existed. You dont think JOJ or Carrington falling out of the rotation played a part in those two leaving. Christie going to the NBA should be...

That means we will be getting low-tier transfers, which is why we are continuously at the bottom of the Big Ten. We have a better chance at getting and developing freshmen than getting transfers who can get us over the top. We can agree to disagree, but a Jr transfer will cost more NIL money...

If we are a feeder program then trying to build our squad via the portal will not be a sustainable model

Great question. It doesn't make much sense to me.

We don't need a savior local class but we damn sure need shooters and Christian is easily one of the better shooters in the state. Also how was Carrington, Payne, & JOJ the savior class when none of them were top 5 rank players locally in that class. We whiffed on the guys ranked above.

How has it become irrelevant? If anything it would be more advantageous for us to go after high school players and develop then trying to go all portal kids. We have lived in the portal during the Johnson era and it hasn't solved much.

Exactly that's why I don't get the gripes and complaints about going after high school kids. Either way there will be kids who move on, but in my opinion, we are more likely to get multiple years from a freshman compared to a transfer

Betts will play this year as a sophomore, and if they are getting recruited by portal guys, then we are doing our job to develop those guys. There is no way we can fill a roster like we have to next offseason, where we have to fill 9+ roster spots. If we do that with portal players only, then we...

In my opinion, a school like ours better go after the 3/4 star kids who might have been developmental guys at better schools but aren't getting the opportunities now bc of the current landscape. We need guys like Betts or a Grove where they can develop and might not play but understand they...

Not hoops

So did I read the article wrong or did he not mention the Gophers at all?

He is being recruited by Purdue and a couple other Power 5s (Minnesota, Marquette, Notre Dame, Providence, Northwestern, URI, and Colorado. Have been very consistent) this is one of the tweets on his page

McAndrews and Freitag both felt slighted because the Gophers weren't there first. I doubt either would have been here regardless but it further pushes the narrative that is floated around, especially in the Metro. I do agree with the statement in bold

I watched all the Minnesota teams who played nationally. None of the teams impressed but Isaiah def had a good summer. Dominated a HS school game isn’t a great measuring stick & I’ve seen him do that last year as well

Def didn’t look overrated this summer

Im not even saying Wilson is a big ten stud but ive both play and they are fairly similar athletically and neither seem to be Wings. I just don’t understand why we are prioritizing Walker & not even interested in Wilson

I understand this, but why not offer the in-state kid? I am not even talking about the landing part. Still, after hearing the McAndrews interview about not even receiving an offer and other top kids in the 2024 class not receiving an offer, I would at least think we offer 1 or 2 per year so when...

I don't want to get in a comparison thing but I'm kind of confused why are we prioritizing this guy who is ranked 2 spots ahead of Jalen Wilson and whose games are eerily similar over Wilson who is from here. It's not like this kid is a game changer any more than Wilson and I thought the point...
