It’s mainly just the anti-TJ crowd who feel we should’ve tried to hire Brad Stevens or someone else unrealistic. For what’s expected to be a bit of a recovery year, Gabe feels like a nice pickup.

TJ has ZERO pressure on him. None. Like you said.........anyone could come in next year and luck into more than 2 wins. He knows that. And with JP having his back........please, for the next 2/3 years TJ is too cool for school.
As for this transfer......it is a solid get. A DeAndre Kane.......no. Maybe like a Chris Babb or Chris Allen. I like this one better than the first two transfers. Who knows.....he finds his stroke again he will have an impact.
I actually really like the addition of Kunc. I also like this addition too.
He MUST keep Hunter on board though too. And Hinson as well.
And then we'll see who else TJ can add before making any final judgements. I do think he's heading in the right direction though.
Adding Caleb Grill doesn't do much for me though, but maybe that won't happen?
I don’t think there’s any reason to believe Hinson isn’t on board. And he’s fully healthy now.
According to the Minnesota 247 site, he had a lot of P6 interest. Nice get for the staff.
Minnesota really wanted him back and Wisconsin was making a heavy push towards him. His high school coach from De La Salle actually got hired onto Minnesota’s staff, but we were able to still snag him away. Pretty impressive honestly.
Babb is the guy I keep coming back to in my mind as comparisons with Gabe. I believe we will not be disappointed.
Huge get in my book!!! Anybody who can/does excel at the defensive end can infect the whole team with that mindset.
There will be days when even the best offensive teams have a bad night, but defense is a constant that can be the great equalizer!! Just ask Baylor

We are familiar with Grill, so adding him doesn’t do much for the fan base, but think he can be a nice piece on a well constructed team. He’s athletic and shows a lot of effort.
If we land Hunter I wonder what our plans our at point guard. Does Jackson play backup minutes there or is he a two guard off the bench?
Was that one of the assistants at Colo St? If so, Medvid must have had to do some serious coach hiring.
Yeah I can't pretend to be an expert but beating major conference teams is good.
A lot of the top transfer we got during our long run of tourney appearances and top 25 were offered by many other major conference programs.
You can never have too many wings. Give me a team full of 6’6” dudes with long arms and smooth shots.
Hinson is here. He has been in Ames since Winter.
Just found out in a twist of irony, Gabe commits to ISU on Royce White's birthday.
Here are some replies from Minnesota fans to Gabe’s tweet in which they credit his defense hustle. Makes me like this get even more now.
Looks like a much needed 3&D type of player. I think this type of player fits next to Hunter a little better than JCL or Bolton.
