Realize he’s a HS recruit but in the grey area of signed. If ISU is looking for a Osun replacement….
***Official 2023 Transfer Thread***
- Thread starter Messi
- Start date
Counting on 3 freshman for key roles in 2023/24 doesn't seem to be the best path in the current college game.. Older is better
Don't disagree, but...
A 7'1" shot blocker is hard to find on the transfer market and highly competitive to get. I don't expect TJ would go after Evans as I am unaware of any connections that the staff uses to recruit. but if ISU is planning on adding a C in the spring they could do worse. After all Talent > Age often.
Those glasses tell me he works close to the basket...
Everything I have heard about the kid is there is a reason he was a Minnesota commit. Everyone i know says he is way overrated. He is stiff and not that athletic. I think, even though it sounds crazy, that we can do better than this 5 star, ranked number 11 player.
7'1 5-star or A-10 defensive player of the year.. Keeping in mind that JT Rock is signed for 2024
I agree to an extent. A lot of those 5 year seniors are a good as they're gonna be though as well, which we've run into this year. A good and healthy mix is nice
Ben Johnson going to be out of a job soon
Agree with the caveat that with TJ's recruiting classes scheduled to come in. We need experience to compliment those pieces.
You'd be hard pressed to find a worse hire in the last 10 years of D1 basketball.
This was the last chip he had to save it. He's done and I honestly have no idea who Minnesota would look at at this point.
Iowa and Creighton are not changing coaches any time soon. So either Devries get's a different job or he is staying at Drake.
He's losing most of his team, only has one guy signed for next year and has his kid as a bargaining chip plus he put a long time Big Ten assistant on his bench this year who (wouldn't you know it) is from the Twin Cities.
I don't know if it's Minnesota but it feels like Darian is definitely looking to jump.
If smart, and I'm not sure they are, U of MN should go after Ryan Saunders. Former grad/player and has head coaching experience at the Timberwolves
He chose Minny over Kansas and TCU.
That is decent company and I think putting feelers out on him would be a wise thing to do.
I can't imagine he would do any worse than BRE in the turnover department, do just as well on the offensive end......and for obvious reasons be better protecting the rim.
I believe he has a high school teammate or AAU buddy on the MN team, which was the connection. Maybe that guy told him he was going to transfer
