For a second I was unsure if this was a joke about getting a rim defender post on the roster by August.

Channeling his inner Pitino. I like it.

Or keeping kids in state! Probably more important right now than having a space for his Rottweiler (I think he said that was the breed in an interview) to run in a fenced yard.

What did meat sauce say?

 

[GFBfan]

He went 0-fer during the initials game. They were all pretty good towards Ben. Sauce seemed to like him.

Ben is a likeable dude for sure.

I don’t know how anybody gets a right answer during the initials game. Ben came close on two!

I'm sure I am out of it, but what is a "day 1 guy" mean?

Well it means Ben isn't following the year zero approach of PJ...

I think it usually means an immediate starter ("from day one"), but it might only mean that Ben expects him to be in the rotation right away.

I'd guess it simply means that the kid will come out of the gate competing hard- day one.

As opposed to other recruits who won't do that?

I think we could all name more than a few Gophers in the last decade that didn't exactly have the competitive edge that Ben describes here. I'm not going to do it, no reason for that. But there is certainly a difference between guys who just have that motor- let's say a Jordan Murphy type who got 100% out of his ability- and the guys who don't, even though they have the ability.
