I suppose if you have determined it is a throwaway year, it makes sense to move them all. Even if you only hit on a couple that can help you down the road, it would be worth it. I don't have much faith in this team turning it around this year, but I'd still wait until closer to the deadline...

I don't think they could get much value on any of their impending free agents, but I would probably do it if they are 6 or 7 games out of the wild card with four teams to leapfrog. (I guess Ryan was acquired for a rental so you never know) I'm with on the starting pitching. It's much easier...

Now that we have a full roster, who are the starters on this team? I just haven't followed this as closely the last couple years with all the portal madness.

I agree. It would require ten minutes of effort and likely would say nothing of importance. But it is the right thing to do and shows appreciation for the job/money/opportunity he didn't deserve to begin with based on his resume pre-hire.

The students have to be more engaged to move up this list. One row of barn animals doesn't qualify.

More than anything this just reiterates the depth of coaching in the B1G conference in the football and basketball coaching ranks. Not the conference to "learn on the job".

UCONN and Gonzaga can have our extra baggage. 🤷‍♂️

We don't know what kind of NIL deal he had been promised under the previous coach. No question Jefferson would have been worthy of a scholarship. The question was whether or not Niko wanted to allot the money necessary to keep him, particularly very early on in the process. It's not...

The automatic bid incentive from the conference tournament champion probably gets more eyeballs on those tournaments, but I would prefer the regular season champion gets the automatic bid. Maybe make the conference tournament champion get an automatic bid to one of the other postseason...

This doesn't get anywhere near the top of the list of things that will keep me up at night in either case, but I voted "yes". I don't really think the term banned or censored in the question is the appropriate term. I would argue for limited in the same way content is limited for other...

Would the player be allowed to sell ad space on the mask? More financial windfall!

How do we even know whether or not this is a better roster? We could probably look back at the spring threads every year and optimistic viewpoints reign. Not intended to be a shot at your post here. Optimism and looking forward to the next year is part of being a fan. But it's impossible to...

It isn't about holding the spot. It's about holding the money it would require.

At one point, the goal was to target players that had more than one year of eligibility left. Now the priority might be to target players that in theory have zero years of eligibility left. Might as well rip off the term limit band aid too, I guess. This has gotten so stupid.

I don't remember the issue you are referencing, but Sports Illustrated absolutely has utilized regional covers many times.

I didn't see the play last night so I'll take your word for it. The reputation is well deserved. unfortunately.

His talent level is matched only by his immaturity. Just inexcusable.

Interesting write-up on the Johnson hire.... Would Johnson have been hired at Minnesota if he wasn't a Minneapolis native who played for the Gophers from 2002 to 2004? The bet here is no. While there is nothing wrong with hiring a coach who has ties to the program -- see favorable grades...

@Otis is also doing this in the Niko's Roster Construction thread. Updating the first post.

Meh. For my money, I like having a thread devoted to generic transfer portal news as the title of the thread suggests. We have enough Gopher specific threads including the Niko roster construction thread to deal with Gopher news. If we start opening threads specific to other teams, I'll agree...
