Hopeful it starts a domino effect!!

 

[Gophs24]

nice first portal addition!!

 

[march madness]

I know people at CSU, Crocker-Johnson is getting $800k, Evans already has 2 Nil offers over a Million each. Mbemba is undecided so far.

800k for 9 and 4 in the MWC is so dumb. Insane stuff going on in college basketball.

6’8”. 230 lbs, now that is the size the gophers need to compete in the big ten. I am confident that Niko will fill the roster with additional pieces to put a competitive team on the floor!

 

[kg21]

What kind of defender is he?

Rebounding and defense is what I'm looking for to take a jump.

Interior defense has been lacking forever

For those confused by the tweet, his freshman year was at Little Rock and he transferred to CSU for last season.

Nice to see him become a 3PT threat, shooting 35% on 4 attempts per game last season.

With revenue sharing and NIL it is pretty vague what our budget will be but I'd think around $6 million. I could be wrong, but NIL last year was a projected $1.2 million. add in $4 million for revenue sharing (which could be closer to $5) and more donors with the new coach.

Evans we will definitely have to pony up to get if we want him (and I think we can and will).

but remember, everyone is now going to get that extra year!

For a sophmore on a tourney team, maybe the going rate?

Officials or students?

Those numbers sound inflated vs other market numbers I’ve read. However could be true. Or maybe multiple years?

So he has 6 years of eligibility remaining?

 

[Gopherbbdude]

BOOM!! as CBJ would say

$800k??

I'm skeptical.

 

[USAF]

Decent first piece though.

 

[kg21]

This guy shoots 76% from the free throw line.

One thing with Niko is I don't think we will have as many painful games at the line.

 

[BleedGopher]

Great to see.

Let's add more.

Go Gophers!!

 

[march madness]

If the team has $6 million, all conjecture, you could assume $500k to $1 million per starter, so say its $750k each of the 5 starters. You would have 2.25 million for your bench?

 

[golf]

Now get Evans and his 45% from 3.

 

[kg21]

Is this guy pretty much a guaranteed starter?

What was Crocker-Johnson getting at CSU?

 

[60's Guy]

At $800k one would think so unless Grove beats him out. I mean 4 more guys at $800k you kinda gotta recruit different positions when you spend your wad.

Beat me to it. I love this.

I don't believe Grove has the defensive quickness to play the 4. I think he will be a 5, one that can stretch the floor on offense. What I saw of Grove, he is a bench player on a good team.

Probably need a couple 1. One million point something’s to get a couple lead dogs.

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

$800k??

I'm skeptical.

I’m wondering if that was spread out over 2 or 3 years of eligibility he had left at CSU.

 

[Gophers7633]

Decent first piece though.

9 ppg and 4.4 rpg on a top 50 team is more than decent IMO. If he shows improvement like he did from his FR to SO year he'll be a huge asset.

 

[TheRealUncleRico]

Finally!
