Up first: Northern State (exh), and MVC media day

Re: Up first: Northern State (exh), and MVC media day

All in all, I was really impressed today. Going to be another really good year...

I think we may struggle to score in the half court. I thought Tuttle looked impressive. A year or two in the weight room and he could be special. Johnny and Jake - neither looked real sharp.

Our offense always sputters early in the year.

I remember last year Jake was interviewed early in the year and made a comment about the team spending about 80% of the pre-season practices on defense.

Bold prediction: Deon will win MVC freshman of the year. He is just that good and will see significant minutes this year.

Injury report:


Pehl will be out 6-12 weeks.
Olivier just got back to practice this week so is way behind.
Jake is playing at about 80% has developed tendonitious issues.

Wow...Tuttle and Singleton may both play this year....

Re: Up first: Northern State (exh), and MVC media day

I was very impressed with the way Marvin played. After seeing the way he battles, I'm not so sure he redshirts. Lyle, Bohannon and depending on how Olivier progresses, those might be our 3 redshirts. As far as Buss, 4-14 from the floor in 15 minutes? Anyone else think that is to many shots for a role player? He took more shots than anyone else on the team..

Re: Up first: Northern State (exh), and MVC media day

was there even a decent chance of singleton redshirting? from what ive seen in high school and the way my friends in MN describe him and I didnt there was any chance he redshirted this year.

I'm not concerned about players trying to find a rhythm in an exhibition game....in their first career game at the college level.

Re: Up first: Northern State (exh), and MVC media day

Singleton and Tuttle will not RS. At this point, you can bank on Lyle and Bohannon RS, with probability of Oliveira pending his health (and also Pehl's). I don't think that Pehl is out an additional 6-12 weeks. Maybe 6 weeks total, but not an additional 6-12.

As for the Buss comment. He's not in there for his defense!

Re: Up first: Northern State (exh), and MVC media day

I had some inside info during the summer/start of practice and at the beginning of summer, it looked like Marvin, Bohannon, and Lyle would redshirt. Sounded like Tuttle, Deon, and Chris would be getting some PT. Clenz, lets be real. Nate Buss is not going to be an All-MVC team selection...therefore finding his rhythm should be in warmups. give the ball to AJ or Jake and let them go to work.. 14 shots in 15 minutes? c'mon..

Yep...give the ball to AJ and let him carry the team all season long....terrible idea, as good as AJ is.

We need bench players to come in and be able to produce, especially when they aren't going to be a Lucas O'Rear, Johnny Moran, AJ type player on the defensive end.

Would you rather he put up 15 shots now, find some sort of game rhythm....or not every shoot when he gets a chance in a situation that doesn't really matter and then freeze come games that do matter? If he is doing the same thing against Creighton or WSU come January, then you have a point.

What's the big deal in an freaking exhibition game? To take that same principal, but to a different level - why does the entire team go through warm ups? Not every one is going to play/shoot/etc... why should they all get warm?

AJ, Johnny, Jake, etc... all know what a college game is like and will be able to adjust to it's flow fairly easily at this point. Buss, however, needs the practice when he can get it.

Heck, AJ could have torn his ACL today...why was he out there?

Re: Up first: Northern State (exh), and MVC media day

Ok Chad Lenz. Your completely right..you obviously don't know Nate on a personal level. If he thinks its ok to shoot 14 shots now, he's going to do it all season long. The kid got in for 2 minutes in last years exhibition game and got what, 7 shots off? Come one kiddo, move the ball, don't force anything and let the game come to you..

[Shooter24]

Re: Up first: Northern State (exh), and MVC media day

BTW, having the ball in our best players' hands during the game is a terrible idea? hmm...last time I checked, the best players get the most shots and 95% of the time convert the most shots..

I'm not hiding my identity here at all, but really? If you are going to start taking that route, why don't you share who you are?

He took two shots against Wartburg last year and 2 shots against Mary.... He didn't even take 7 total last year.


You clearly have something against the kid, and it has been evident in almost every one of your posts.

Who said it was a terrible idea?

I said, in an exhibition game I feel it is best to get the players who don't have the experience but will need to step up during the coming year a good number of touches, because players like AJ, Jake, Johnny, etc... won't need the same amount of game action to get the flow of the game.

When did I say Buss should take every shot for UNI and have the ball in his hands at crunch time? Buss could have the ball in his hands at some crucial point in the game, and I'd rather not have a gun shy player out there...they'll screw up more than someone who is willing to try to make a play.
