Niko’s roster construction

So, looking at the board...... we really have nothing in terms of who Medved could be trying to bring in. We don't even have enough players to field a team.

No? We know for a fact he's hard after Evans and Omot to start. And yeah there aren't enough players right now but that's also true for most every team with a new HC, look at Indiana for god's sake. This is normal in the portal era.

They can sign players through end of summer. (There are like 80 committed players of 2,000 in the portal). Portal is still open for 3 weeks. Goal is to have them in for June workouts.

Due diligence is going on.

We have three players on the roster. No recruiting boards are reporting interest in Minnesota at any level. Where are we with player interest? Those boards are staffed with people who earn money tracking players interests. It is what sells their memberships. It is the reason this board thrives or survives. What I want Medved to do is simple. Sign bodies. Field a team for next year. Hopefully they stay for more than 2 seasons. That would make me happy.

The Gophers were going to have an issue even if Johnson was retained. Because he was reliant on pulling Portal players year after year and could not keep any recruits. And no, it was not all about NIL. It was about bad coaching and a chance to win as well.

I don't know what your point even is here? Johnson is gone, lots of guys left because the coach left, which is normal, and Niko is now looking into the portal to fill next year's roster. That's the situation and it's pretty normal for a new coaching situation right now.

Okay so you are saying the cupboard is bare and we don't know what we will fill it with, and it was going to be bare anyways with Johnson at the helm previously? Your response to studentgopher94 makes no sense. He gave you some names to look out for.

BJ Omot (realistic get, he visited the other day and is between us and Washington)
Kyan Evans (CSU player, great shooter, he has interest elsewhere. We will have to pony up for him.)
JCJ (I heard he is signing with us, another CSU player that is a good get)
Jaden Steppe (CSU player may look to join us)
Tre Holloman (I don't think we get him and Kyan but I am hoping we can get 1 of the 2. I'd lean towards Kyan from a want and $ perspective)

The point was to see what information on players we may be recruiting is. I knew of two possible names. I have more now.
As for Johnson, yes water under the bridge. He was awful in nearly every facet of being the coach.

Medved's focusing on '26-27 recruits....getting a head start.
 

Deep breathes everyone

I'm sure it'll be fine and we wont have to resort to open try outs from U of M rec leagues

I'd say put Shinholster on the bench if Grove is listed as Bench.

1- Asuma
2- Evans (Hopefully)
3- Omot (Hopefully)
4- Crocker-Johnson
5- ?

If Shinholster is starting God help us.
 


I'd say there's no way we sign 15 if $800K is the going rate for an average starter. We probably need 9 more:

1-Asuma
2-?
3-?
4-Crocker-Johnson
5-?

6-Bench
7-Bench-?
8-Bench-?
9- Bench-?
10-Grove
11-Shinholster (signed so hes in until we hear otherwise)
12-Bench-?
13-Bench-?
14-Walk-on
15-Walk-on

So let's really speculate for a moment- Let's say that the starting lineup became Asuma/ Evans/ Omot/ Crocker Johnson and Garcia (per the wild rumor) - and we land a good defensive big- that would be the core of a pretty decent team. Better than last year with a better offensive scheme?

Today was the first time I heard that Crocker-Johnson was on campus the other day. Who at the recruiting boards lost their job over not reporting this so that I could see it on GH?

Earth to Major "whoever the Fck you are"....

brilliant observation, coach obviously must be a failure since he hasn't filled out the team in his first week of being at the U.
