Modern coaching just demands you do it on a tighter timeline.
“You’re still doing a lot of the same things that you’ve done before as far as your style of play, how they fit, how they can develop here,” Medved said. “I’m a relational coach. We really value people and who they are, and so I think what you have to do in a short period of time [is] try to distill a lot of information. You’ve got to rely on your network and trust your gut. Even in this condensed recruiting [era], we still have to find the right kinds of people to be a part of our program, and it’s a challenge.”
But like Medved said, it’s a necessary challenge — particularly this year, with a bare bones returning roster. The Gophers have already added seven transfers to the roster via the portal, while Medved added that “at some point here, you’ll see some news about another player.”
True NBA free agency doesn’t begin for a couple of months. But its close relative is in full swing.
