Wisconsin has been in another universe better than the gophers. Nolan Winter played 9 min per game as a freshman there. Freitag is exactly an example, he could have got major minutes for the gophers but sat on there bench, for one year. Jack Robinson could be another, as he still isn't getting major minutes.

As far as the Portal, they have been getting 1 star like AJ Storr in 23-24, lost him in 24-25, also lost Hepburn, added Tonje that year. I do see now that have quite a few for this season, but really one very good player in Nick Boyd via San Diego st.

I would love if the gophers can get there. Where a system is established, and athletic wings who can score know they have the other pieces to make a very good team if they transfer in.

I don't think Freitag would have gotten major minutes for the Gophers due to the presence of Asuma - but the point is, why do you want him at all? Robison probably doesn't play for the Gophers either. Those two guys aren't P4 high-rotational level players right now, so I don't understand being jealous that someone else has them. And 9 minutes/game for Winter as a freshman is pretty close to being in the rotation vs. being "on the bench" and only getting in for garbage time - because of Payne/Garcia, he might have played even less here. If it were today instead of 3 years ago, maybe Winter would fit better with the Niko regime, but the always-have-a-big-who-shoots-3 thing that Wisconsin has cultivated is hard to ignore if you're a big who shoots 3s.

Regardless, the thesis that you need to establish a system and then players who fit that system will be attracted to it, is sound.
