Will the Gophers win 20 games this year?

Gonna guess 18 or 19 tops

If we don't get better and healthier, I don't see us reaching those targets. This program has had 7 losing seasons in the last 10 years. Right now this looks like another one.

We may not hit double digit wins.

I think the skepticism stems from every school being able to do that, and there being a cap. Probably still on the low end of payroll compared to schools with outside big bucks donors, and probably always will be (under the current system).

Easier to sell with a decent amount of cash in my mind. Would Payne have left if they had 600k or 700k to pay him. Maybe he would have for a million, but he sure would think about staying. Some will stay.

What has me depressed, is from this team, who would we be hell-bent on keeping for next season? I think JCJ is probably the only one?

Hopefully this changes once we get into conference play.

"Hell bent" is subjective, but JCJ, Asuma, Omot, and we don't know what we have with Shinholster or Chance Stephens yet, but they can both come back along with Durkin. Having 4-6 returners is a lot better than having 1.5.
