Too busy watching Keisei

Yesterday a poster on another board said he saw Mast in the Phoenix airport. His son asked Mast if he’d be back next year and he said he “should be” 

[huskercabby]

Mast struggled against athletic bigs, but if he returned that would be huge. His leadership and teamwork would be hard to replace.

Another poster who was there (and had a picture to prove it) and talked to Mast says Mast told him he’ll be back and that Fred’s got a plan in the works.

And another note: Washut predicts Andrew Morgan to Nebraska.

Disagree about "talentless" daughter, while she might not be for everyone, definitely not talentless. Agree with Billy Ray's lookalike 

 

She's supposedly a singer, but she has a terrible raspy voice.  So...what talents does she actually have?

Just a “Vibe” I picked up on, plus the worst thing about Madison is that it’s IN Wisconsin. 

 

I've always heard that the worst thing about Wisconsin was that Madison was in it...

After seeing what Fred’s done with the portal and NIL the past two years, you can’t help but be super optimistic when you hear this.

 

Even with all the departures

Anything can happen if he hears the right number from a pro team, but this does not sound like a guy that is planning to leave...

He'd be fine if NU had a dude like William Kyle-III next to him, they'd feed off each other... pick-and-pop or pick-and-roll, pick your poison.

FWIW Morgan is from a small town south between Minneapolis and the south Minny border.

I like to think that our Ag school is better. I also suspect our NIL is better.

Lots of "we" talk. Not "they".

The Minnesota mod on their 24/7 board was saying we had an influx of NIL funds and we were making some major offers.  Morgan had basically committed to Minnesota and our offer got the visit.

Morgan wants to run a farm in Minnesota. He's not going to some getup south of the 40th parallel

*Looks up location of 40th parallel*

[hhcmatt]

Feels like Morgan is a backup post and that's fine because we need backup posts.

 

Think we need one of Malique Ewin or William Kyle for rim protection, who both have two years.  Kyle probably has the lower ceiling, higher floor and would be the more likely one to stay two years.  Ewin probably has the lower floor and higher ceiling where you potentially might need to replace him if he goes to the NBA.

Give me Kyle.  

And I agree that Morgan seems more like a role player behind Mast.  Which surprises me considering Minnesota's need now since they lost Payne
