Adding guys mid season

[USAF]

Yep...and this is a culture building year. The guys they have are building that and playing in the system. That's how you build the foundation.

Culture building year??

To “expect” Niko to add someone midseason seems like a stretch

The excuse making is nauseating.

Not unexpected, but nauseating.

TF can't he be expected to win? TF cant UofM add player(s) mid-season like other schools?

You need a Snickers.

Go ahead and donate a couple million to the basketball NIL so they can go add a NBA player then.

Someone will put him on their team this season

To “expect” Niko to add someone midseason seems like a stretch, especially for a season that at best is headed toward the College Basketball Crown. Save the money for next season, when it appears we (knock on wood) have a few nice pieces in place and presumably make a run at the NCAA tourney. And if really lucky, the “5 for 5” rule is passed and Tyson decides to stick around for it.

One could argue Tyson is basically the "team" this year. You acknowledge the outlook for this year is pretty soft. So, why will we somehow "presumably make a run at the NCAA tourney", next year?
I'd suggest with Tyson this year if we added a midseason transfer who was somewhat of a difference maker, we might sneak into post season this year.

But next year...Crocker-Johnson, Asuma, and Durkin are not getting us off the bottom. I like the potential of Chadrack...he may help... he may be in over his head depending how he reacts to the massive upgrade in competition. Is Nolen Anderson a difference maker as a freshman? My thought is probably not...you differ?

Otherwise, we are at the mercy of our portal additions to duplicate Tyson with one addition, find a second guy of similar impact in order to make any type of run to .500 in the Big Ten. And add a big or two who can contribute and we need to find a point guard who can handle the ball versus pressure. That's possible but not yet in place to be labeled "presumably".

Tell me how you see us .500 or better in the Big Ten next year?

I need to see not only the Gopher roster but also the rosters of the other 17 teams. ... somewhere around early to mid-June maybe? I trust Niko enough to think next season will be better than this season. How much better is the question.

I'm just amazed we have reached a point already where someone who has played in the NBA may be joining a college team mid-season.

I mean seriously - that would have sounded insane a couple of years ago but now it is just yet another level of the mess that is college athletics.

NCAA using the "our hands are tied" defense

I mean in their defense their hands really are tied on a lot of this because every time they try to stop something they get sued and it seems like in general the players are winning pretty much every lawsuit.

I mean when even coaches like Izzo are unsure what the hell is going on that really says something about just how far off the rails things have gone.
