The Official Golden Gopher Basketball Thread

So much for Enfield. He is off to USC.

The names I'm seeing mentioned now are Greg Marshall, Buzz Williams, and Tim Miles.

All 3 may have turned the job down before I post this.

Is it possible to give the job to Tyus Jones' dad so that Tyus feels obligated to be a Gopher?

I like that idea. Sign the #1 prospect in the nations dad to be the coach on a 1-year deal. Then repeat every year. Sounds fail proof to me haha. Now I hope Buzz Williams is the guy but I'd be shocked if he left to UMN. Marshall could be a stretch too because it sounds like he just got the #1 HS bball player to go to Wichita State in Andrew Wiggings and they are in the Final Four this year.

Minnesota hires Richard Pitino to be the head basketball coach.

What are your thoughts on the hiring?

I don't really know what to make of it except hopefully the name recognition does some good in recruiting.

I'm happy with it, I went to the announcement and he seemed to be very charismatic and he should be a fun coach and hopefully like you said lure some recruits due to his pedigree or more his dad's pedigree
