We have zero commitments for 2024. Not a single one. Except traudt and bond.

Zero-ish, one might say.

I’m pretty sure Mike Young has never put anyone into the NBA. I’m not saying that’s the most important thing, but seems like huge hole in his recruiting pitch.

If Minnesota recruits are bouncing, Cam Christie? He was literally Tony’s first offer of the Spring 2022.

I talk Gopher hoops with a work buddy who’s a native Minnesotan. He was excited about Ben Johnson early on, but he really seems to have lost the team. They don’t even seem to be competing. It’s only been two years, but I wonder if they move on…

It feels like this offseason moreso than others is going to be insane. Feels like a lot more potential coaching changes at hand and the following transfer and decommit market from the cascading coach poachings and hiring/firing is going to be crazy.

Looks like that minnesota 5 star center decommit is headed to Louisville instead. Louisville also rumored to be getting Skyy Clark (the illinois freshman pg who bounced midseason).

What this tells me is that this Dennis Evans fella is not a fan of winning. To each their own I guess

It’s crazy out here. Worst season since WW2 —> get the #11 recruit in the country.

Playing time? NIL? Kenny Payne is a wizard

Given how their recruiting has gone this cycle I’m assuming Payne told Evans that he’d see time running the point if he came to UL.

If minutes are currency… Louisville runneth over in riches

They also aren’t too stingy about passing out real currency

Makes me think more than a few in the Duke program knew that OAD Max was not the model for the long run. Basically employed it to keep giving K his best immediate term shot for another title before he bagged it.

Yep, we definitely benefitted by playing our 3-5 year players vs. their 17-18 year olds. They will still get what they want from high school and from the portal. Our job gets harder in the ACC.

Lol Louisville has been preparing for this “free agency” for the last year and a half.

Plan was always to pump this team up with portal jumpers after the cloud of the NCAA investigation concluded.

I think that’s sort of right, but Payne definitely leaned way too far into that idea, IMO.
