Next Year

Re: Next Year

agree with NEI..Oliveria might be 7th man next season, just to get offense system down.
will be interested to see if he plays in prime time league
His coach was on OPR last week, and thought he said he would average "2 or 3 blocked shots a game" ..hard to see that,not many D1 players are averaging that many..

Anthony James was a 40 rated player coming out of High School so you can't take too much stock in those ratings but I understand where you are coming from and to your defense these ratings are one of the few tools we have to truly compare these players. That being said, CO also has a year out of high school where he has hopefully, added size and strength as well as an extra year to play againse very good junior college competition where he averaged 16, 9 and 5ish. Not exact on those stats but they should be really close.
Tuttle is very skinny right now and has played against some very small Iowa schools for most of his career with the exception of his AAU ball. I am very excited to have both guys on our team but it is the above statements that lead me to believe CO starts or plays more than Tuttle next year. Those reasons and the fact that CO is our only true, back to the basket, post player with the exception of Pehl.

I think a 40 just means that they have not evaluated them.

I am aware of that. Was just saying, that's all.

Re: Next Year

It is actually a misprint they meant to put 140!

Re: Next Year

I know everybody is excited about the incoming class, but lets not for forget last years class. I think everyone is selling Buss short! Personally I think he is going to be a beast in a year or two. He is more of a 3 than a 4, he reminds me of a better version of Mamadou Seck from SIU. Let us not forget this kid averaged almost 30 ppg (28.5 ppg I think is what it was) in I believe 3A!

I agree I think that we are selling Nate and Chip both sort on their abilities.

Re: Next Year

I think Tuttle plays in 11/12. Jacobsen obviously has very little confidence in Pehl to play more than 5-10 minutes per game. I don't think you can throw 30 minutes at a freshman like Oliviera. So that would allow Tuttle to grab 10 to 12 meaningful minutes per game and be ready for more if an injury occurs. Then JK and Rank can handle the 4 spot, with Singleton and Buss both getting backup time at the 3 as we go big at times. I think Johnny starts at the point with Mitchel backing him, and AJ and Sonnen also starting. I think Bohannon stays active with occasional playing time but not much time unless someone gets hurt. Could be a very deep team getting ready to be avery good team the following year.

Agreed. this team will be crazy deep! it might take a while to get the team to gel & I'm worried it might take the new guys a bit b4 they start playing the type of D we're used to seeing at the McLoed. Second half of the year should be fun to watch! 2012-13 could be AMAZING!

I heard through the grapevine that Jake was pursuing Ilya Bryzgalov.

would have been a great line....Ali Farokhmanesh, Kwadzo Ahelegbe, Jordan Eglsedr, Ilya Bryzgalov, and Adam Koch.

Curses to Koch for having an easy name

Re: Next Year

His is definitely the easiest, yet I've heard it pronounced about five different ways!

Shortest... yes. Easy, not quite what some would think. Is it Cook or Couch or Coke or Cotch or Cooch?
