I'm not just saying it for the reasons everyone compares every white WR to Decker or Welker, but he reminds of the typical WI post player.

He is pretty skilled and good size without elite athleticism. He'll help our program quite a bit. In the one game I watched on youtube, he absolutely dominate Kapke who I think is a good player.

This is a good get for Ben.

Welcome addition to the Gophers. Continue to shut down the boarders and Ben and PJ might end up with a few Big Ten Championships

I like this signing but it's not like we beat out Kansas on this one.

Welcome Grayson!

We didn't beat any big guys for Payne either...

 

[Roland Brooks]

Awesome news

 

[60's Guy]

I'm positive there is a better roster outline than this but I can't find it ... please upgrade
I'm curious about what it could look like in 2024-25?
Mitchell, Hawkins, Asuma
Christie, Carrington
JOJ, Betts
Garcia? Grove
Payne, Wilson...
then I think Fox and Ihnen have eligibility...could be here? If so we are out of scholarships?
Plus, I may well have forgotten somebody?
24-25: Garcia probably grad transfers? Fox and Ihnen don't play?
Mitchell and Hawkins are seniors?
Carrington, JOJ and Payne are juniors
Betts and Christie are soph
Asuma and Grove are freshmen
That's 9 guys...12 with the question marks staying...plus the Wilson experiment is 13
I realize half these people could transfer or something but just curious...
My conclusion is we need some big time guys to fill out the roster.... maybe they are already here and nobody knows?

Unbelievable! It took like four posts to be negative. Theres like 900 other guys out there that are good players that help programs and help teams get to the ncaa tournament. Just because kansas wasnt involved doesnt mean this isnt a good signing! Dear god!

Literally said I liked the signing. I was a replying to a post declaring this was a sign of future conference titles. I'm not willing to go that far. Players like this should be the floor of recruiting if we hope to win conference titles. Is that okay?

 

[jamiche]

He looks pretty athletic. He needs to get a lot stronger, but that's doable. Assuming that he adds a few pounds over the next year, I think he will be in the rotation as a freshman and a starter by his second year.

Solid signing.

You should know by now that if a kid is from Minnesota, he automatically gets two extra stars.

Garcia, Fox, and Ihnen all will have eligibility remaining.

Wilson will not.

 

[C'Mon Man]

Agreed that he looks pretty athletic for his size - moves well, smooth, and runs the floor. The coast to coast sequences stood out to me. Adding some weight and being willing to play around the basket (and not float on the perimeter) will hopefully be a focus as he develops.

 

[WriterGoph]

Garcia, Fox, and Ihnen all will have eligibility remaining.

Wilson will not.

Pretty sure this next season has to be Fox's last year, right? I believe this is Year 6 upcoming. I guess unless he files for a special medical situation and they give him a 7th.

I like to think this is a Good get. Hoping he doesn’t recommit elsewhere in the interim.

Correct, he will get another year if he wants it due to Covid and injuries.

The point was made that it was a nice signing....BUT, at some point we still do need to sign some players who may make an immediate impact in the Big Ten. Yes, we can sign guys and hope they develop from diamonds in the rough to ALL BIG TEN level but the percentages suggest it may not work. It also certainly will take more time to even know the answer. Does Ben still have 3 more years for us to wait to find out? I like the player okay, will Ben be here to coach him?

He said Kansas, he have could have said Duke, Kentucky, Purdue, St John's, USC, UCLA, on and on versus Indiana St and St Thomas.

Ben says, everybody says, you gotta get older...meaning everybody at the top is fortifying their rosters through the portal. We have added enough to get a l m o s t as good as last year. Reminder: we finished in last place two years running. We need another possible contributor from the portal to to give us a better chance to just get out of the last one, two to four slots in the standings.

Side note: I wanna know what happens when we lose the first recruit to St Thomas? Wooden could be our coach and it will still happen at some point...I think that thread is going to be one of the uglier ones.

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

The boarders are locked down! Only a portal can take the homegrown talent away from our grasp!

 

[Gophers7633]

Do we think Grove and Asuma are the only HS kids for this cycle? We'll probably lose someone to the portal off this upcoming season, but I think Wilson is the only one without eligibility after this season?

 

[Off-GridTNgopher]

Solid pick up. I don't think he's a starter by his sophomore yr.. but a solid piece to the squad

Again, another negative comment while you claim you are being complimentary.

You said it, just own it.

Wow, you have fallen off the cliff. The U will never lose a recruit to UST, never. Just like the U never loses a recruit to NDSU or SDSU, etc...

So it's not allowed to like this but also expect more for the future? Noted.

It's hard to make such a definitive statement like that considering the current trajectory of each program. If things continue as they are it won't be long before that thing that should never happen actually happens. That's not being negative, it's just what is happening.

Football lost one to NDSU when PJ first got hired and he's in the NFL now IIRC.
