Ben Johnson is a Disaster

[Big Dawg]

There's no chance that Carrington and Christie only play 10 mpg each.

There are only so many minutes to go around. 200 per game to be exact. Typically 8-9 guys will play 10+ min/gm. With the gophers it is typically 7-8. I like Bayfield's listing. My 8-9 guys are: Mitchell, Hawkins, Carrington, Payne, Garcia, Ihnen, Christie, JOJ, Betts.

PG-Hawkins 25-30/Mitchell10-15
SG-Mitchell15-20/Carrington 15-20
SF/WING/3rd G-Carrington/Christie/Betts/JOJ 10/10/10/10?????
PF-Garcia 30/Ihnen 10
C/5-Payne 30/Garcia/Fox/Ihnen/Wilson 10 split up somehow.

That SF/WING/3rd G spot is the wild card. Hope Ben signs someone. Lots of teams play a 3rd G. Can Christie do it? Betts? IDK.

I do not see a time where one of Hawkins/Mitchell aren't on the floor. I do not see a time where one of either Garcia/Payne are not on the floor.

Haven’t watched a Gopher basketball game in 2-3 years, it was a gradual decline and then poof. I once loved watching n going to games. Now, I don’t care. I’m not sure of the exact cause, but it’s safe to say the U is to blame. When a school fails to commit to building a relevant franchise, this is what happens. Based on the attendance the past couple seasons I’d guess there are others like me. Only way I might come back is if the gophers had a top 4/5 team in the Big10 but w NIL that is unlikely to ever happen. My sport is now Gopher Football. I really hope the U doesn’t screw that up too. Spend the dam money!

You’re not alone, and might even be the prototypical customer they go after should they ever decide to care and rebuild.

I'm waiting for you to be so embarrassed by your awful takes that you have to change screen name for the 50th time. You're takes are so awful even someone as dumb as you gets embarrassed.

I listed out the minutes to show how easy it would have been for a competent coach to find 15+ minutes for Battle at his natural position.

You also clearly don't know what the word "probable" means. Chalk up another L for Pilgrim, DieEasy, RockRaven.

Don’t forget MnJay

All it takes is a real swell coach to get somebody to move to Lubbock, TX. Keep telling yourself that.

If Tech had that much money, why not just 1.5x-3x your "investment" and pull in five guys from the top 10 ranked in the country?? Build a McD's All-American All-Star squad??

They got some nice players, but it's still Texas Tech.


They then took those nice players, and made them into a Final Four team .... using coaching!

Didn't know where else to put this. Saw this video on twitter with Carr working out for the Wizards, I would place a bet that he plays in the league next year. Too good not to catch on as an UDFA. Loved watching him play here. Wishing him luck.

100%. There are so many that feel this way. I was a STH for over 20 years. I'll continue to watch some games here and there and hope beyond hope the program will improve; but i just don't see it happening with this school

Me too. Used to be a die hard fan. Barely missed a game. Now total apathy has kicked in
