That would make Niko's 3rd job in 3 seasons. Has that ever happened before??

Pitino will win enough to keep his job. If he does not do that Medved will not get the job. You have to win much more than he has. He is under .500 . Hire someone who has won big at a tough place to win.
Sigh...we've been turned down so many times that now we are hoping to get a Roddy type. Nothing against him, but he was like our 300th choice.
Roddy is at the Gopher game tonight. Hugged Oturu’s family before taking his seat
What kind of hug we talking here? We are family type of hug? Half hearted hug? Pat on the back hug? If so, how many pats we talking? The people need answers.
Family hug, no doubt. All three Oturu family members. Big smiles all around. Like seeing the one cousin at thanksgiving who isn’t a racist and hugging them because you’re not alone.
This all transpired one row in front of me. Was hard to miss Roddy. Big kid.

Go Gophers!!
I haven't been following his basketball recruitment that closely (still think he's making a gigantic mistake by not playing college football), but I was surprised when I visited 247 and found that all 6 crystal ball picks are for the Gophers. Not too long ago it sounded like all signs pointed to Northwestern.

Out of curiosity, why do you think its a mistake for him not to play football? Aren't his basketball offers better than his football offers?
His physical makeup. His height/weight/athleticism profile screams elite DE - or even DT. If he committed to that position and spent two years in the weight room, he'd come out at 6'5" and 300 lbs. - basically another Ra'Shede Hageman. Unless you're one in a million (think Charles Barkley or Dennis Rodman), you're not going very far in basketball as a 6'5" post.
My presumption is that his football offers aren't great because he said in the past that he'd only play QB.

He was at the maroon and gold scrimmage the UMD game and last nights game so I'm going with him ending up a Gopher.

Yeah, my guess is he ends up being a good college basketball player and then signs with an NFL team as a TE or DE. Hopefully the Vikings.
Agreed. But imagine how much better he could be if he stopped trying to delay the inevitable and just played football now. It's an extra 4 or 5 years of development in that sport. Did you know that Antonio Gates only transferred to Kent St. after leaving Michigan St. when Nick Saban wanted him to play only football (the audacity!). Imagine how good Antonio Gates could've been had he played football in college! He was a part-time player in his rookie season while he got his football legs back under him, then proceeded to dominate basically from year 2 on - and, again, without playing college football.
