    Ptl

    Games started today and I figured a new thread would be necessary. I'm not too big into twitter so all I've seen are the tweets by Beaton...

    Lengthy #UNI recruit Chris Olivier has displayed a nice post repetoire so far in PTL http://twitpic.com/5e0kty

    #UNI fans: Marc Sonnen shot unbelievably 2day in the PTL. 27 pts & 6 3s. More on the UNI freshmen in Monday's Courier...

    #UNI fans: I was wrong earlier - Marc Sonnen went 7-for-9 from 3-point range today. It was pretty amazing. His release was real quick...

    Nice to hear that about Olivier. I really think we need him next year

      GP85, I was too, and on my way back to DSM I was kicking myself for not stopping by and checking this out..

      The way that Beaton is talking about these guys sounds amazing.. I hope it holds up come this season.

            Is he referring to Sonnen?

                  I watched all of the 1-2 game which had several uni players. Sonnen was incredible from the field. Was easily the best player today from the two games I was able to watch. Played solid defense too. Snydergard (sp?) was impressive, very quick moved well with and without the ball. I wasn't overly impressed with Tuttle or Buss, they had their moments. I think Buss ended up with a nice stats. Martino received limited minutes and was alright when I was focusing on him. Nothing too exceptional.

                  Austin Pehl was the worst player on the floor at most points. West 0-12 or so from the field with two missed free throws and was always out of position for rebounds. Horrific defensively. Swetella (the tall European pro) abused him off the dribble on the rare occasion he went inside. He is not that answer at the 4 or 5, but its not like you all didn't know that already.

                  Eric May and this kid named Anthony Lee from Florida who plays for Temple were impressive. May hit nearly a half-court buzzer beater at the end of the first half.

                  Looking forward to Tuesdsay. I want to check out the Anthony Hubbard, AJ and Mitchell team.

                    Dain Swetella is a good player, but Pehl needs to step up. Dain is from Davenport and played at Auggie. His dad Ray, who is coaching the PTL team, was head coach at UW-Milwaukee when it moved up to DI, was head coach at Marycrest and Davenport Central. Ray also was a grad assistant at Indiana for Knight and was on Dick Bennett's staff, at UW-Stevens Point, I believe when Brian Koch played for Coach Bennett.

                          I haven't read Beaton's take on anything yet, but having watched the first half of the game featuring Deon and Chris, I would say it is a lot early to be judging anything. By the time I came back for the last 10 minutes of the second half, neither played until the final minute of the game or so. In a tightly contested game, neither saw much of the floor in the final 10 minutes if I recall.

                          Chris does remind me of EColeman. He posts up real well, gathers himself for an explosive move. Has a soft touch. Actually watched him pull a step back 8-10 foot jumper that we wouldn't have seen from EC. His post game will be quicker and less predictable than AP. Now, he needs to work the hustle and the “respect” side of the defense. He would sag off way too much on his D and really needs to race back to his man after stepping out to alter the guard on the high screen and roll. He’s been able to get away with it before just based on his talent vs his competition. But the competition level has jumped up now. In his first 2-3 minutes in the game he had 3 rebounds and I think a block.

                          Deon has a nice release on the 3. Pregame it wasn’t even hitting the rim. He was hurried and tight in the game and his looks were pretty few. Good effort on the dribble drive. Chip was a great vocal leader and worked his tail off all day. He had a bunch of wide open shots that just didn’t fall. I was hoping to see him more inside based on some late season comments from Coach Jake. Nope-lots of mid-range and 3s.

                          No Jake K, no Johnny. No Singleton, which was disappointing.

                          I do think Nate will be a great surprise. He is much farther along than this time last year. His confidence is higher obviously. He can rough it up down low and pull up 3s. Reminds me a little of AKoch in that at his size it appears like he can put the ball on the floor or go back to the basket. Needs to keep pounding the weights though.

                          He and Tuttle are on the same team. Their team was busing trying to teach the offense during the middle of the game, so there was a lot of disruption on offense. Nate and Seth were struggling with when to cut and who should post up. That will clean up soon I would think. Seth is a big kid-and appears pretty coachable.

                          Finally-AJ and Marc are season ready. And the D they play is really good.

                              I tried to find an online version of the courier's article about the freshman today but I couldn't find one so I'll summarize what was said about them in the article and a little of what Beaton said on OPR tonight.

                              Jevon Lyle was about the most impressive of all the freshman in day one. He had like 14 points, played very good defense and from what I have heard he has a very muscular, D-1 ready body. Tuttle had 9 points and 10 rebounds while going against Pehl most of the time. (I know Pehl isn't good but he does have a significant weight advantage over Tuttle.) Mitchell had 10 points. Olivier had 4 points and 5 rebounds but showed good touch and moves around the basket. Bohannon had 11 and shot well. Singleton was in Minnesota for an all-star game.
                              Another thing talked about was how Sonnen has been working on shooting with Ali this past month. It's obviously made a difference so far.
