That's really complimentary! I'm thinking that I might miss the three or four shot clock violations in a game though.
It seems that most view McCollum as a better prospect than Medved. In my opinion either would be a good hire. Medved has more D1 experience while McCollum has D2 championships. I like Medveds style of play better but maybe McCollum adjusts his to fit his talent?
Ali Farokhmanesh might get elevated to replace him. Or they could go steal Tim Miles back. Either way they'd be fine.Well said. Every online comment section I'm reading tells me CSU fans badly do not want to lose him, so I'll consider that a good sign.
Or Craig SmithAli Farokhmanesh might get elevated to replace him. Or they could go steal Tim Miles back. Either way they'd be fine.
The more Medved and CSU wins, the better I'll feel about the idea of him coming here, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I want a homerun hire but I'll settle for a double or a triple
Tim Mies gross.. Does Nebraska want him back as well?Ali Farokhmanesh might get elevated to replace him. Or they could go steal Tim Miles back. Either way they'd be fine.
Bolded very true, but:I've come full circle and will be happy with Niko as the hire if that is the case. I could also care less that he's from MN or whether or not Dave Thorson stays on the staff.
But Niko is one of the top coaches available this cycle. Despite all of the NIL/transfer portal issues over the last 4 years, he has done a really good job of building his teams with HS recruits and keeping them in the program, along with supplementing through the transfer portal.
It's very similar to how PJ runs the football program, and means Niko likely has a very solid culture and program in place at Colorado St. He has now proven this at multiple stops.
Mountain West coaches are a crapshoot. The ones you think are going to jump and be successful often times fail, and then there's coaches like TJ Otzelberger who was under .500 overall at UNLV and immediately made Iowa St a powerhouse in the Big 12.
Niko has been very solid at Colorado St, and maybe he will be our TJ O.
How is TJ Otzelberger able to do it at Iowa State?So how is Niko going to field a competitive B1G team that can consistently go to the Tourny and compete for B1G conference championships every once in a while?
He looks like a really nice guy and most likely is a good coach, but that is not enough anymore to lure the top players to your program.
Uncontrolled NIL and free transfers have changed everything.
It is one thing to evaluate talent and develop them for a lower tier program. But in the B1G that just gives you at best an occasional 0.500 conference record and maybe a tourney bid every 4-6 years. A team that will get their best players poached every year from one of 50 other programs.
I am not saying that level of play is bad, but realize what you are getting with the hire that you are making. It may be fun, but stop bitching about not winning against the big guys and having a sub 0.500 record.
In order to compete with the best, you need to bring in a game changing name that will instantly allure players to the program (assuming you also have the NIL to pay those players every year).
And yet, CSU is in the final and New Mexico is not!Lost to Pitino twice this year.
We’d get it wrong and offer each recruit a porcupine with the inevitable result.Programs will always find a way - violate NIL limits or give each player a concubine or something.

Look at it this way. How would his current CSU team fare in the B1G. Pretty well I think.So how is Niko going to field a competitive B1G team that can consistently go to the Tourny and compete for B1G conference championships every once in a while?

They're higher in the ratings than the Gophers, and the Gophers won 7 conference games.Look at it this way. How would his current CSU team fare in the B1G. Pretty well I think.
We would find a way and like the reporters who dug up GanglhoffIs it possible to cheat in college basketball anymore?
Oh, I got it. Great voice. And maybe I googled old pictures of her and had to think of images of Bo Ryan and Gene Keady to settle myself down.And I'm surprised no music fans (Ope3?) caught the title of this thread.
Yeah I love their ball movement.The announcer just said Colorado State has one of the best half court offenses in the country… sign me up.
Currently, CSU is on the 'win or out' ncaat trajectory. Selfishly, that's what I'm hoping too. The sooner, the better. Gotta wonder if / who he would bring any of his players with him to help him hit the ground running.We just had 5 losing seasons in 6 years. I'm confident under those circumstances that Medved will be a "program changer." If he makes the NCAA tournament, I hope he is eliminated by next weekend so he can start here soon afterwards.
Half way through the first half and they’ve used 9 players. Ridiculous.Yeah I love their ball movement.
I'm not familiar with that concept. Tell me how it worksHalf way through the first half and they’ve used 9 players. Ridiculous.![]()
Not sure but the 4/5 from the free throw line is also unfamiliarI'm not familiar with that concept. Tell me how it works
I caught that too.And I'm surprised no music fans (Ope3?) caught the title of this thread.
Admirable restraint. If I had that, I’d be the proud recipient of one divorce and numerous restraining orders.I caught that too.
I have her phone number, but I will not be sharing that.
I've thought this since he was at Drake and they played us in the Barn.Yeah I love their ball movement.
I caught it. Great play on names.And I'm surprised no music fans (Ope3?) caught the title of this thread.
