    I think he's playing down low more this year than last.

      Go watch video of Bill Walton's shot.

      Still....he holds the records for scoring in the championship game.

        go to espn.com, under mens basketball, look under recruits and UNI...have a list plus updated stats on players and comments on the type of player and their overall grade. McDermott keeps going from a 92-94 and back again.

        According to ESPN, we are looking at a 6'4 shooting guard from Kentucky named Chad Jackson, who has a grade of 86 and is the #94 shooting guard in the country. Anybody know any more info. on this kid and how serious we are about him and vice-versa?

          their evaluation on him sounds a lot like Crawford.

            When you guys talk about getting a "big" I can't but think of the movie, "Role Models."

              Brett said that big guys who can shoot and play with their backs to the buckets are huge assets. I was responding to that.

              At 6 foot 9, at some point in time, Jake will be asked to play in the post for this team. We develop post players nicely at UNI, but fact is, Jake hasn't shown any real ability to play down low this season.

                He hasn't been asked to be that type of player this year was my point. He has been asked to be a wing player more than a post. When him and Lucas come in it is treated as more of a 4 gaurd set than the 3 guard set...

                  We also have his brother, JE, and O'Rear to go around for now . . . in the future we may need Jake's size down low. He hasn't shown much in that regard this season.

                  But I agree with you . . . he hasn't been asked to play down low this season.

                    Agreed we will need him down low, but I'm not going to to judge his post play on this season due to the fact he hasn't had to play down low. We also have a great post coach, so I'm sure his development down low for next will be great

                      What I like about this team is that pretty much every player in the regular rotation - except for Jordan - can handle the ball. Both Adam and Lucas can bring the ball up the floor through traffic. You wouldn't ask them to be a point guard but they aren't going to dribble the ball off their feet. Perhaps that is what Jake is doing with Jake. Perhaps he feels it's going to be easier for him to learn how to handle the ball while he's younger and then, have him learn to play with his back to the basket when he matures physically.

                        I hadn't thought of that before. That is a great point.

                          I thought OD showed our weakness for the press.

                            no way. We have been pressed a ton this year, and have played very well against almost every time.

                            We just had a couple of turnovers at the end against ODU.

                              We had guys (Adam and Johnny mostly) that tried to do too much by themselves. That hasn't happened before and won't happen again I bet

                                The problem with the press break against ODU was that we weren't trying to "beat" the press, like we normally would/have. We were thinking of killing the clock and not the opponent. I think that is why you saw moves like Johnny dribbling back to their side of the court when he could have as easily got across half court...just trying to take more time off the clock. I'm sure Coach Jake will address this and it won't be as big of an issue, if it is applied later.
