Why should any of us feel obligated to be happy for a guy like Payne who is ditching the Gophers for some other team? Everyone understands why players are transferring.....good for him.....he gets to pad his bank account somewhere else.....hopefully the money makes him happy. The day he signs...

Bummer....on to the next one.

Dang it.....did they forget to invite me to the parade route planning meeting again? It's a nice pickup and a good start. If he is the only guy we sign then clearly it won't be enough but Mitchell makes for a nice first piece.

Trying to finalize a visit too?........ If you are going to include that line seems like you might also want to include a destination for said visit. But that is just me.

so yes then? :)

In the long list of stupid reasons to start a new thread this one would be right up there.

Is Wet Blanket Guy on vacation or something? Good lord some of you will always try and find a negative angle on everything.

Parker Fox is currently testing the limits for how many years a player can stay in school. :)

Immediate eligibility for transfers has been far and away the worst part of all the insanity in college athletics. At least when guys had to sit out a year there was an incentive for them to stick it out at the school they committed to. If I was a helmet school I would barely even bother to...

Lots of rumors about why the 3 sophomores left, tough to know what is true and what isn't.

From the way it was framed it sounded like they wanted back in as opposed to us trying to get them to come back. The only way I would bring them back would be if I was sure I would not be able to land a better option from the portal to replace them. The fact that Carrington and Ihnen are still...

There were reports that he was meeting with Johnson about coming back. No clue how credible they are but that was at least floated out there. I think Ihnen was mentioned as potentially wanting to come back also.

At this point it seems like a waste of time to worry about anything beyond the roster for the current season. Chances are it is going to look very different the following year anyway.

Nice start. Still lots of work to do but this is a really nice pickup. Gotta love guys willing to work hard and rebound.

I don't blame him but I don't have to root for him either. In the end I am a fan of the University of Minnesota and the players on the team. I enjoyed watching Payne play here the past two seasons and was hoping to get to see him continue to develop here over the next few years. I understand...

Kind of feel like this topic has been well covered in the other 4 threads related to Payne and the other guys transferring out.....but what do I know. :)

Hey now.....don't go trying to get this thread back on track.....that is uncalled for.

Agree, both sides of this argument are tired and played out although I will still contend that these Ben Johnson apologists you guys refer to don't actually exist. If Coyle fired Johnson today I would be shocked if there were many on this board who would say it was a bad move. And I haven't...

It will be interesting to see where Payne ultimately ends up and what his role is. Is he just looking to get paid and therefore willing to take a lesser role at a school with deep pockets? Or is he actually looking for a better situation than the one he had here where he was a starter on a Big...

Good lord.....we may as well just make one big thread on this board because every single one turns into the same arguments about the coach and/or NIL (pay for play) Those of you that desparately want Ben gone have made your case.....over and over and over and over and over again in countless...
