With the change in a head coach, we often will write a post that assesses the “cupboard.” I’ve assessed how bare or stocked the cupboard was when Tim Brewster was hired, Jerry Kill, PJ Fleck, Tubby Smith and Richard Pitino. So naturally I was inclined to write such an article for Ben Johnson, now that he has taken the reigns of the Gopher basketball program.
Typically this exercise is done to take a look at what is the overall talent level that new coach inherited from the previous one. How many returning starters? What is the returning level production?
