I would tell Fish to go back to the portal if we could snag Toppin. That kid is a badass rebounder, which we need badly.

That would send a terrible message to the team and future prospects.

In today's landscape you really don't need to pull the scholarship. If you really want the guy and he wants to be here just work out his NIL with an agreement he will receive a second NIL to cover the cost of school if a scholarship doesn't open by August.

From our bottomless pit of NIL money...

That's not even the question. If Fish's scholarship was open we'd still need to work out a deal for him. Additional money for his schooling isn't going to break the bank. Besides bringing in a guy with 3 years to play is going to solve the scholarship issue pretty quickly.

Not that ISU has a spot but they did recruit Christie.

I'll assume no preseason hype, then.

One of a couple big 10 schools that should just end their basketball programs or change them to club sports.

They will soon have enough NIL money to compete - all more than ISU.

all the money in the world can't buy them an interested fanbase and a program identity.

Yep!

I know several Gopher fans that grew up in MSP, none are collective donors (Even $5 or small one off).

Would have loved to get BREs high school teammate, Dawson Garcia. Not sure if he has eligibility left.

Not really, with the way things are now. Besides, Fish already entered the portal on his own. And I don't see him ever starting a game at ISU. Toppin would start at PF immediately and has 3 years of eligibility remaining.

If we can get Toppin I hope that's exactly what we do. I think Fish will start to contribute and could be really good years 4-5. Strong with a nice midrange shot from what I saw for Mokan and Staley. I also like kids like Watson who want to be in Ames.

I doubt we get him but if he was the final piece for a legitimate FF run. The cost of a scholarship wouldn't deter us. Basically Blum says we have the funds to secure Toppin, but we could really use an additional 50k to pay for his schooling. Seriously if you wouldn't contribute under those circumstances you really aren't a fan.
