per Shipley:
Johnson is a legacy, as a player and coach, and his contacts in one of the nation’s hottest recruiting beds are extensive, if not unparalleled. He’s young, 39, but not too young.
You want Minnesota to be a men’s hoops power? So does Johnson, and as it is for you, it is for him — personal. He hit the ground running.
We don’t know how this will turn out. No one does. In some way it seems like a leap of faith, maybe more than usual; in another, Johnson seems to be the perfect fit. The wind didn’t just blow the guy into the Athletes Village; he worked hard for this opportunity and made his case.
From here, it’s a good case.

John Shipley: Maybe Ben Johnson is the Gophers’ perfect fit
Too many Minnesota basketball players are making their marks elsewhere. UMN’s new coach aims to change that.
