I was just looking up some new info on him, and I really can’t find anything different from what I saw a week or two ago that said he MAY enter the portal. The only piece of new info was pure speculation, and that was based on seeing what Caleb Love does. But, I’m not sure what kind of inside info they have to that. I would say that I think in today’s game with the transfer rules, he would be a candidate to leave given his cut in time last year. But again, I don’t find anything that really says one way or another.UnFadeable21 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 20, 2022 6:11 pmYes but all signs points to him staying there.
2 scholarships left though

Caleb Love is returning to UNC. Will this send Kerwin Walton into the portal?

Re: 2022 Gophers Recruits
Maybe a little bit because word out of UNC was that his defense regressed in his sophmore season. UNC is loaded at guard though. Walton still has upside. He's a really good shooter and had a really solid freshman season at UNC.

Abdoulaye Thiam is in the portal. Ben now has three open spots to fill for next season if he decides to use all of them.

Re: 2022 Gophers Recruits
I guess this is good. He wasn't able to earn much PT last season. I guess he was only technically a freshman, but he had already played a year of junior college, so we were expecting him to be a bit better. Hopefully, he is leaving on his own accord rather than us telling him he needed to leave.

Sounds more like an educated guess than actual knowledge.

D.J. Jefferson is down to Tennessee, Wake Forest, and Washington State. I wonder why Ben didn't recruit him?

Re: 2022 Gophers Recruits
So the new players are:
Pharrell Payne, 6’9” PF
Braedon Carrington, 6’4” PG
Jaden Henley, 6’7” SF
Josh Ola-Joseph, 6’6” PF
And Transfers:
Taurus Samuels 6’0”
Ta’Lon Cooper, 6’3”
Dawson Garcia, 6’11”
Is this a team that will be able to compete in the Big10 right away?

Re: 2022 Gophers Recruits
Probably not in title contention, but too many unknowns to tell for sure. Add to your list that Fox and Ihnen were both out with injuries last year, and you have 9 of our top 11 guys did not play a game for the Gophers last season (Battle and Thompson). Likely can't count on any of Payne Carrington, Henley or Ola-Joseph to step in right away and be good Big 10 players.Bob Wiley wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 11:19 am So the new players are:

Garcia/Ihnen
Battle/JOJ
Carrington/Henley
Cooper/Samuels
That's my prediction for a lineup right now. I don't think they're finishing in the top 4 of the big ten but they should make a jump into the 7-8-9 range I hope. If healthy hopefully they're at least a bubble team next year. Only Samuels is done with eligibility after next season. Everyone could come back for another year... that's crazy.

I'm sure those two will get some playing time. Unsure how good they will be immediately against Big Ten competition. Hopefully, you are right and they will be good.HeHateMe wrote:I think Payne and Carrington will play immediately. The other two not as sure.

I talked to Pharrell at Park HS about the big ten. He’s hitting the weight room hard, especially for upper body. He knows how physical it is.Big Head wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 4:00 pmI'm sure those two will get some playing time. Unsure how good they will be immediately against Big Ten competition.
