Ptl

Re: Ptl

Jake has some very tough playing time/redshirting decisions. But one of them that has to be made is that Pehl gets virtually no playing time. We all are excited about the incoming recruits and if they are anywhere close to what we expect them to be, then we better have some post players better than Pehl. I feel the same way about Bohannon playing over Morrison, although Morrison is better than Pehl comparatively.

Don't give up on Morrison yet. All he has ever done is win.

I haven't but I having seen Bohannon play I just think he is too good of a player to redshirt unless our team is very good. If thats the case then I am fine with it. I just think that since the tendency of our offense is to shoot a large number of 3's then it makes sense to have one of the best(if not the best) 3 pt shooters on the team play. I

for me, not really. There are only so many shots to take. You have to have the coach put you in the game. You still have to have someone pass you the ball. Now if they are averaging 25+ minutes and taking 15+ shots a game and only making 20%, then there's a concern. But it's not like the focus of the PTL is to make UNI players look good. This is not a knock on Iowa, its great UNI gets to have its guys involved, but the venue, the coaches, the sponsors are almost all Iowa backers. The UNI players are guests, its not always polite for the guests to constantly show up the hosts.

Re: Ptl

Watching those videos that were put up on that Hawkeye Website all I could think to myself was why are they going to the ball hog Iowa player he is terrible.

if you honestly think that then i am not going to bother arguing. it is completely absurd. I believe 3 of the top 6 scorers last year were UNI guys. the UNI guys make the league what it is, and everyone knows it. the league would be dog**** with only one D-1 team participating.

I am utterly shocked. SHOCKED. That you would disagree with my assessment.

Of course they need the UNI guys, the NCAA requires at least two programs to be involved, but if you really think they are marketing this for UNI guys you are nuts. Just look at the draft results. Its not as if those 3 top scorers weren't back again this year, but where did they get picked? Also show the playing time stats and, particularly, the shots attempted.

Mitchell is wearing #1 on Orange, Morrison is #21 on black. Buss is #14 white (I think), Tuttle #10 white, Sonnen #25.

Nice to see they don't all drink the kool-aid. Although I think we already knew that James was as good if not better than any of the Iowa guys. I did like the comment about how he wanted Rank or CO instead of Archie, sounds like everyone has a Pehl on their team.
