I would think he’d follow the coach to the new school sooner than here but have no inside knowledge of anything.Wonder if former almost Gopher commit Jayden Pierre could be looking for a new home soon.

We get it Mr. Nelson, your son is a good basketball player.Gophers are idiotic if they don't reach out to Grant Nelson
he'd be your best player next year and with NBA all-over him would fill the barn
This transfer portal is stacked with guards. I’d like to see Ben take a run at guards and a solid 3pt shooting SF. Preferably all with 2 years left lolposters keep mentioning the need for a big to back up foul prone/bad FT shooting Payne. I do not necessarily disagree. But, my worry is focused on the 1-3 positions. Here's why: We have depth at the 4-5 position. Here is our 4-5 position oulook:
Garcia 6'11"
Ihnen 6'10"
Payne 6'9"
Fox 6'8"
Betts 6'8"
JOJ 6'7"
Granted height doesn't translate exactly to position, see TT as an example. He was the tallest player on our roster and was no 5. I believe that Payne will be slightly less foul prone and a slightly better FT shooting during his sophmore season. Garcia can back him at the 5 for 5-10 minutes per game. I'm expecting Ihnen and Fox to back the 5 if needed for 5-10 per game. My concern is if we don't follow up with a few more guards (in addition to Mitchell) we may be guard deficient again this coming season. Ideally I would like to see 2 additional guards and then someone to back up the 5. So a total of 3 g's and one 5. I know we have what, 5 schollys to give. Maybe target a pure shooter (not necessarily a G) with one scholly.
My hope is that the roster looks like this:
Mitchell/1-2 additional portal G's
Christie/Carrington
Portal shooter
JOJ/Betts
Garcia/Ihnen
Payne/Fox/portal big
If 2-3 positions on the court at all times will be G's/ball handlers, shouldn't the roster have at least 5 G's on it? If the 2-3 positions on the courst will be F's/C's, we already have 5-6 4/5's on the roster. Roster management is important. Git r dun Ben.
Is he white?anyone reach out to grant nelson yet?
Are you a dumbass? The answer to both questions is YES.Is he white?
curious on the Yes that CBJ or staff has contacted Nelson. I haven't seen him in the portal yet, so probably no contact?Are you a dumbass? The answer to both questions is YES.
He asked if he was white, not if CBJ had contacted him......curious on the Yes that CBJ or staff has contacted Nelson. I haven't seen him in the portal yet, so probably no contact?
hearing he may be a 2nd round draft pick
In Spaulding's defense, he does look like he might be Italian and then we're left with that age old debate . . . are Italians REALLY white?He asked if he was white, not if CBJ had contacted him......
Got the Italian name for sure.In Spaulding's defense, he does look like he might be Italian and then we're left with that age old debate . . . are Italians REALLY white?

I think Ihnen is a wing not a 4.posters keep mentioning the need for a big to back up foul prone/bad FT shooting Payne. I do not necessarily disagree. But, my worry is focused on the 1-3 positions. Here's why: We have depth at the 4-5 position. Here is our 4-5 position oulook:

Some claim him as the backup 5! Lol. When we all know he is a 2.I think Ihnen is a wing not a 4.
A 2 who has never really played the position in a college basketball game.Some claim him as the backup 5! Lol. When we all know he is a 2.
he proved his first 2 years that he isnt a very good wing.....and looked his best at the 4....and i think in a perfect world he is a back up 3/4 man....but with how things stand i think he, JOJ, & betts will have a nice little battle through the summer and fall to see who can grab the reigns at the 3 spot.I think Ihnen is a wing not a 4.

he certainly isnt a 2....and if he gets any run there Ben Johnson whiffed on his remaining transfer targets.....Carrington didnt take any steps in the right direction.....and Christie isnt as good as we all hoped
as i said.....as it stands now....thats who we have right now....Except JOJ, Betts, and Ihnen are not 3s.
You actually don't know that.Except JOJ, Betts, and Ihnen are not 3s.
