Cade Tyson - one of twelve plaintiffs suing NCAA

Donate To GopherHole



Seems to have a case as he is part of the class that is in between two classes that had a fifth year, kinda surprised the NCAA didn't grandfather guys like him in to avoid a lawsuit in the first place. Would love to have him back but I'm guessing he will get an insane NIL deal elsewhere if he is deemed eligible or get an injunction, which may be the best scenario for all parties

Covered himself by putting name in the portal.

If he's allowed to play, it would be a shocker if he stays at Minnesota.

Hopefully he's not in the big ten, would love it he went to play for Will the gangster Wades semi pro team, would have loved it more if he was at NC State, so he could stick it to the heels

How many teams are sitting around with a guaranteed starting spot and a huge bag of unspent NIL $$ though?

Probably a lot more teams than we know.

Exactly, "hey mr.bigtimedonor, we have a 20ppg from the big10 that needs some money to play for us" "ya okay here's $3million+"

Think Indiana, Louisville, BYU, Kentucky, Ohio State, Michigan, Kansas, would be ironic to see him back in the ACC

He’s definitely be a great addition, but I am betting he’s out of gophers budget as most of you have said.

Entering the portal prior to the lawsuit kind of indicates he's looking for a big paycheck. I am confused about the portal though. I always thought that when you graduate with eligibility you can look for a new team at any point or did the new portal rules change that.
 

I think he had to enter the portal to have any chance to continue playing...the juco guys...the injured guys...the 5 year guys...all these guys do...it must be attorney advised.
I don't think he'll be a Gopher but it seems 100% he'll play college basketball this season. I don't believe we planned for this possibility.
 

So Cincinnati got a little better... it seems Cade could already play in Ohio?

"On Thursday, a judge in Ohio granted a preliminary injunction to allow players in similar positions to Tyson — members of the 2022 high school graduating class who played four years in college and didn’t receive a fifth year of eligibility — to participate in a fifth season in 2026-27. Two of the athletes are former Utah State basketball players, MJ Collins and Kolby King, who are now planning to join the Cincinnati Bearcats."
Xavier is in Ohio... :)
 



Not surprised to see Tyson connected to this given that he wasn't drafted. Makes sense to try and get another year with the NCAA's new policy that went into effect. Would think there is a great chance they win the case as well.

As for Cade's future if he gets anther year.....agree with those that think he will get a huge payday from someone else and will end up there but you never know. Niko took a chance on him and it paid off in a huge way for Cade.....if he came back here he would be the go to guy again with a more dynamic team around him. Would be a great on the court situation for him, but like most, I assume we wouldn't be in a position to offer the financial payout some of our competitors almost certainly can.

But man it would be awesome to get him back for another year.

Not sure why everyone thinks Cade would bail? He went to North Carolina for money and it was miserable for him.

Cade's not likely going to stick in the NBA for long, if ever, so why not try to make as much money as possible during his last year in college? That won't be here and there currently isn't a roster spot open.

I would love to be wrong and for Cade to come back though.

He's got to pick the right spot unless all he cares about is money. I don't think places like Indiana or Louisville would be good for him. I hope he looks at that before he decides where or if to go somewhere.

I agree unfortunately. Another year of college isn't likely to do a ton for his NBA prospects so while it isn't always about the money in this particular case he would be wise to take the biggest deal he can get.

Would love to see him back here but highly doubt we would be the team that could offer that deal.
 



Playing the "What if.." game. IF Cade is allowed another year, I'm not so sure he wouldn't come back to MN as the money required might "show up" and he would be a terrific fit. MN upside would be clearly improved. Nixon or Lorenson would be odd man out. Palmer/Groves/Grove/Grady/Shinholster/Anderson/Tomes all fighting for minutes. I am fairly sure Cade is well-liked by the current guys, like MN and Niko, and he played w/Evans at NC so the disruption of chemistry this summer may be minimal. Winning helps.
No sense getting hyped at this point, just see how it plays out. MN will be fine regardless.

If we get acade back, biggg IF, but yeah Cade would fit in very well with Evans, Asuma, JCJ Kordel. Than Durkin becomes a super sub off the bench and With Grove, Groves and Palmer with Kai and Grady in the mix, that's 11 guys before we even get to the Freshmen. Nixon would be odd man out, out of the walkons Lorenson was much more impactful at EP than Nixon at Holy Angels. Nixon wasn't even Holy's best player
 

Cade never played with Evans at UNC. Evans was the year after Cade.

That said, I agree the transition would be flawless, but Niko doesn't seem like the type to hang one of his current roster spots out to dry.

Cade needs to get paid. The "role" and "fit" really don't matter for his 5th year. He needs to make as much money as possible, and there's no way we can write that check even if we did have the roster spot.

I just hope he's out of the Big 10. Let him feast in the ACC and on UNC twice this year :).

Two of the current 15 are "practice players"/walk-ons. I'm sure they could work it out with one of them to be a manager etc.

I'm guessing that would be Nixon, dude missed most of his senior year and honestly Lorenson was a better player in high school
