Guess I don't really see Jorgensen as that big of a deal either way. If his home state wasn't Minnesota I don't think anyone would give much thought to not getting him as there are lots of other very similar players in the portal.
Big surprise.
Is this the portal version of “we cooled on them?”
I don't think there was every any heat to begin with.Is this the portal version of “we cooled on them?”
They remain closeIs this the portal version of “we cooled on them?”
Let's remember that the CSU coaching staff didn't really turnover all that much. I don't think this should be all that surprising.
Looks like he redshirted, never played a minute.
Agreed, but we desperately need size and bodies. He seemed like a decent fit
Well the good news is that there are some 1200-1500 players still available in the portal so we should have some options.
Not sure how much value there is in speculating about guys who aren't even in the portal. That said looks like Mullholland is tall/skinny and takes more 3s than 2s. Not sure how much value there is in a guy like that.
Can we please open up our thinking a little bit and not just concentrate on guys who played prep ball in Minnesota?
There is 1500 people in the portal. The talk will always be about players that either have interest(from us or them), visit, or have a connection to Minnesota.
I get why some fixate on where a player is from because it does probably improve our odds of landing a player if they are from Minnesota and looking to come home.
I understand talking about guys we’ve contacted or have reported interest. But the “what about player X? He’s currently on a team and not in the portal but played in MN. He’s a possibility” angle is tiring.
If you think he can be a starter 1.5 million might just be the going rate according to this story from Yahoo that I saw yesterday. Just ridiculous times we are going through right now in college athletics. In a really short amount of time we have gone from players deserve to get paid to players are getting multi-million dollar contracts and based on the story at least that amount isn't even just reserved for star players.

Crazy stat line from that NIT championship game. 19 points but he did it by going 1 for 2 from 2 point range and 5 for 17 from 3 point range.....that is some horrible efficiency to get those 19 points
lol that whole structure is so ludicrous. It took like 0.02 seconds for it to get taken advantage ofIf you think he can be a starter 1.5 million might just be the going rate according to this story from Yahoo that I saw yesterday.

As Final Four looms, schools are scrambling to spend money on players: 'Everybody is playing beat the clock'
As the Final Four looms, schools are scrambling to sign players to high-dollar contracts in a “mad dash” before a Monday deadline. It’s simple: Sign by then or risk booster deals being rejected.sports.yahoo.com
. “This isn’t pay to play.” Sure thing sport. 
.If an experienced college basketball coach, who's been to NCAA tournaments, disagrees with my assessment of a player, does that make him the dummy?
Asking for a friend.Well the good news is that there are some 1200-1500 players still available in the portal so we should have some options.
If we're grabbing players early mainly because we need size and bodies, that's kind-of a bad sign to me. Like, "I'm desperate" sign. I think it's a little early to be in "desperate to bring bodies in" mode.
Well of course his Agent says and thinks that. The problem here is we are only getting one side of the story and that's the players/agents side. I also would like no less than $1.5 million for my next job FYI.
He's a skilled 6'10" who moves better than Kapke. If he develops, he could be a really good player. If doesn't develop, he is still a big body.
Right. And I'd guess if any school he's talking with were in this ballpark, he'd already be signed.
Unless Mr. Lee’s is an obvious high major player with professional talent, If I was his parent I would be very unhappy that my son wants to transfer from Princeton. An Ivy League grad has a great resume to start an exciting and rewarding and well paid career in any field he chooses. But planning on a professional basketball career is dicey at best. If he is a good player he can still try the pro route once he graduates. You can never take away his Ivy League degree, but he could blow out a knee at the first practice at his new school. I wish him well, but ……
