    Payne in portal

    That is crazy, what is it about 30 per year that ever play in the NBA. Not sure what the numbers are for over seas opportunities, 250 total so maybe 50 a year. So a few percent will continue with basketball as a career and for most probably not that lucrative of a career. They can't blame anyone...

    Portal worked for all parties in this case.

    Any chance of a return?

    He's visiting Texas and Texas A&M. If he still does not have a commitment after that then there may be a possibility, highly doubt full though.

    Pharrel Payne visiting Indiana this week.

    The tv contracts the SEC and Big Ten have negotiated for football and basketball say otherwise. Schools found a way to pay for the plethora of athletic programs they cannot afford. Can't have your cake and eat it to. Sure it's tied to universities but not in a very ethical manner.

    Gopher Potential Portal Pursuits

    He's 6'8 and 240, why can't he defend the 5, he would not be a rim protector similar to Payne but straight up he should be able to defend in the middle if he is actually 6'8.

    Gopher Potential Portal Pursuits

    Huffman actually shot the 3 pretty good his first two years, the last two years he really dropped off. Not a high volume shooter from the 3 though. Mitchell's free throw percentage is only about 43%, definitely a concern

    Payne, Carrington, Ola-Joseph and Ihnen...

    Five years, two with injuries, one year back, maybe improvement, maybe not.

    Payne, Carrington, Ola-Joseph and Ihnen...

    You can't really depend on Carrington for anything. I sure wouldn't want him to be a big part of the rotation. Sure kids make mistakes but he would really have to earn anything big time at this point.

    Changing schools every year it is going to be tough to get a degree. I doubt it even comes into the equation though.

    Dawson Garcia will return to Minnesota next season!!!

    Not sure how he is different than Battle other than Battle had graduated and for all practical purposes he had full filled any commitment he had made to Minnesota.

    2024-25 Big Ten Roster/Free Agency News Only

    Depends on where, I doubt they would turn down Avalon or Stone Harbor.

    On a side note it sounds like Wisconsin tripled their NlL money the last couple of years, estimated to be somewhere in the 2.5 to 3 million range each year.

    Dawson Garcia will return to Minnesota next season!!!

    That he has a commitment to Minnesota for one reason or another, more than the other local players can say, and yes it is important.

    Coach Dame: I love this from Ben.

    I think you have to define "succeed in that environment". You aren't going to win the Big Ten without substantial NIL money, you can strive for 500 conference record and be an NCAA bubble team but without decent NIL money that is about all you are going to get.

    Coaching Hypothetical

    How do you attract an experienced coach without a treasure trove of NIL money. Doubt you do, things have changed.

    Dain Dainja Transfer

    Dainja would be great, offensively he's a better scorer than Payne but not nearly as good defensively.

    Payne in portal

    ON'3 ranks Morgan much higher than Payne. Haven't seen him play but he can't be that bad. Hope they can get him.

    Take a deep breath, it’ll be okay.

    Add Hadley, keep Christie, guard depth is better next year than this. Keep Garcia and add a couple of decent bigs and things will be fine.
