Welp… season is over. I assume they will ease the other guys in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Timberwolves have been bad for so long that I think that hurt. I would argue they might be a slightly bigger draw than the Twins but I went more on history. They have been very popular this last 2 years. The lynx are not on the list. I almost included our MLS team- Minnesota United and they would be slightly behind gophers basketball.

You forgot the Minnesota wild. In all honesty in terms of popularity it’s probably something like: 1. Vikings 2. Wild 3. twins 4. Timberwolves 5. Gophers hockey 6. Gophers football 7. Gophers basketball or Minnesota United Tons of money in Mn but target/Best Buy/ UHG usually pick the pro sports teams and gophers get secondary. Very few people up here are passionate about college sports. Ben Johnson is a local guy too. Losing Hawkins and Christie is really tough because he has struggled to recruit Mn Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dirk likes to push peoples buttons. He is talented but he goes for the “I hate you and want to argue with you” clicks. When this team was sucking we had a few splash guys, mainly Bryce McGowens… it didn’t work. I am 100% on the idea of building a team of guys who understand what you are trying to achieve and know their role… no ego. I think Fred knows what now works and is adding those guys. What I see out of the current group is some very talented guys who understand their role. I trust Fred and am excited at a stronger depth chart. Don’t see one guy as needing to dominate for us to win. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would think he does simply because it gives him a year of medical support and then can go play overseas. We can still help with some NIL money as well. Would be a bummer if he sat the year and then bounced. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very interested to see what route we take with the last two spots. I do like the idea of Juwan at the 3 and so adding an athletic 4 would be nice. Some of this depends on reink but I like our depth at the 5 and would be interested if we look at reink as more of a 4 versus a 5. Morgan and Meah are both going to be a 5 most times I assume. I still prefer the last two spots being guys who have at least two years of eligibility. 1 being a play now and maybe 1 sitting out a year. This team feels like it’s deeper than past teams. Feels like we could see 10 guys get minutes to start and then the rotation will obviously fall into place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Outside of Dawson Garcia they didn’t have much talent. Ben did a tremendous job to get them to win some games and be competitive. Not elite level coaching but seemed to get some buy in. I think NIL is killing the gophers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kind of curious if fiddler was about to commit to Wisconsin and then heard this… or maybe MSU is making a play for both. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is based off reports the B1G won’t let FSU or Clemson in because they don’t have AAU. But they aren’t going to kick us out because we lost it. This is a nothing burger. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I really like Igor Milicic and the versatility he can bring. William Kyle would be great to take defensive pressure off our bigs who can move around bit. With those two holes filled I would love to bring in guys who can come in and learn and grow. Ideally play a bit but be future guys who actually want to stick around. With how Hoiberg has done it, I don’t see us using more than 8… maybe 9 guys and we have about hit that number. Still think we probably need another shooter but maybe the incoming freshmen fill that void. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, who do you think might be next? Very happy with the first 3. None are elite but all help is in an area of need or at least depth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
