Gophers Basketball Hires Ben Johnson as HC

[HeHateMe]

Shaka Smart did dick in the NCAA tournament at UT. Stop sucking his dick.

Well Johnson hasn't coached a college game and plenty here are doing that.

Shaka has been to the tourney I believe 8 out of the last 11 years. I could be wrong on that but I thought that's what I heard. We would do about anything for success like that.

Complete non factor though as we found out that nobody does want this job. It's the second time with two different ADs that we had to scrape the bottom of the barrel.

What we've found out is you knew nothing about the process from start to finish.

And I'm not sniffing Johnson's anything as I'm not yet sold on him in the least. Doesn't change the fact Smart did dick in the NCAAs at Texas.

HTH.

Let's remember RT liked Ben Jacobson as a candidate, he interviewed in person and RT is saying no one wanted this job.

Ben is the first local guy they've actually hired. We'll see what happens.

And I doubt most of these kids give a shit where he is from.

I think you're wrong but ok.

Guess we have to let it play out.

Quick question Double H.... Jimmy Johns or Subway?

All depends on mood. Those two + Jersey Mike's are all decent... but depends on the mood I am in. Had Jimmy John's yesterday, Subway last week. Jersey Mike's charges too much but good sandwich.

Why go from Texas to Marquette?

Why go from Texas to Marquette?

He's from Wisconsin and Texas was pushing him out?

Ok, gotcha. Didn't realize he was a cheesehead.

Yep, Texas is going big for Chis Beard I believe.

Porter Moser must be telling them no? I would think DePaul is still in on Dennis Gates but Indiana must be wondering what the hell they are doing.

2021 class has a four star
2020 had a five star, two four stars
2019 had Jackson-Davis
2018 had four four stars and Romeo Langford (five star)

So Archie was able to recruit but some have left... can't keep 'em happy and the results weren't that great. I think they would have made the tourney last year?

That and one of the big advantages of being in the Big East is that the men's basketball team is king, so the athletic department basically gives you whatever you want. Don't have to compete with football for dollars.

That’s not what Indiana fans wanted.

They are pretty pissed off on Twitter.

I don't love Ben Johnson, but there's your proof that it could have been worse.

Indiana hired a guy who graduated from Indiana 41 years ago... Like I wasnt even born yet when he left Indiana... Why? lol

They hire him to groom someone? No way he fulfills that 6 year contract.

Makes it clear that what fans want might not always be available... or the Indiana AD is dumber than fuck. Likely both.

Is it a little odd that there has been no assistant announcements yet?

[HeHateMe]

No. One was still coaching until yesterday. Another heavily rumored guy is coaching at Baylor still.

Bye bye Liam Robbins?

[Sid Hartman]

Bye bye Liam Robbins?

[HeHateMe]

Good luck to Liam if he does...

No info.. just saying.. you want to play at Utah St over Minnesota.. Big Ten? Go ahead... also, there have been some reports anyone who got an immediate waiver once might not get it a second time..... interesting since Gach and Robbins are still here.

Robbins' Twitter is back up. I think maybe Johnson said something about current players not commenting on recruits on Twitter, so he just deleted the whole thing.

Saw this early, wasn't sure at first what the reference was.
