New basketball recruit?

[achrist70]

Re: New basketball recruit?

I'd like to see buss and Paul split time at the 4

Paul is not a 4, he is a wing all of the way.

Here is what I have

Starters

1. Deon
2. Wes
3. Matt
4. Nate
5. King Tut

6. Paul
7. Jeremy
8. Bennett (If the stories of him in practice are true)
9. Marv/Max
10. Knar

I think that we redshirt Wyatt, partly to make sure on college and how that may react with the heart condition that he has, and I would redshirt Ted. I also say redshirt Wyatt, just because I am not sure with Wes and Deon that he will see the for more that 10-12 minutes a game.

With this being said there is a long time before next season and I am still looking for a win in St. Louis, and for a battle for playing time next year.

Re: New basketball recruit?

we've made a career out of not redshirting guys and then not playing them much....i'd expect the same w/ wyatt

Are you suggesting that we won't redshirt Wyatt AND not have him play much during his time at UNI? I've heard some asinine things on this board but man...I hope I'm reading that wrong.m

Re: New basketball recruit?

From what I've seen/heard about Wyatt, I think he is way to good to redshirt. Yes we have a lot of guard depth but I expect him to play as our backup pg next year then the starter for the next 3 .

And unless him and Jake have talked about this, I doubt he would be coming here to redshirt.

Re: New basketball recruit?

not for their entire career, just not playing them much their freshman year and basically wasting a year of their career

Re: New basketball recruit?

When Deon has had to sit during games we've either had to move Morgan or Wes to take over as PG or we've put in Matt Morrison. Obviously Wyatt would take all of morrison's minutes and then we wouldn't have to take Wes and Jeremy out of position as often. Deon and Wes are our only players playing 30+ mins a game. Why? No offense to Matt but it's because we have little depth at the PG spot.

Morgan and Wes don't strike me as natural PG's so it would definitely benefit us to have Wyatt take Matty Mo's mins plus some more from the guys currently logging mins as PG's. Deon and Wes would also benefit from some more rest in the game as evidenced by our performances down the stretch.

Re: New basketball recruit?

I think the biggest factor in the is Robbie Knar, I know he may be a little more of a 2 guard, but I think he could give us quality minutes at the 1 next year if needed, and if healthy.

Re: New basketball recruit?

I think Paul will start. He isnt far behind bo in shooting and the rest of his game is much better particularly on d. Bo is the number one guy who always gets beat off the dribble which is our biggest problem. Start Paul and you set the tone defensively.

Re: New basketball recruit?

Knar is a 2 guard, not going to see minutes at the point and shouldn't have to with other depth. He is an X Factor next year due to his scoring ability, he would have played this year if he wouldn't have gotten hurt and would have given us another option.

Lohaus isn't redshirting. He'll take all of the backup minutes at the point and allow Wes to play on the wing rather than having to run the point.

The competition for minutes is going to be pretty fierce and that is a good thing, this team needs a bit of a fire lit underneath them. The only two that are safe minutes-wise for next year are Mitchell and Tuttle, everybody else is going to have to earn theirs.

I see it this way--

PG--Mitchell-Lohaus-Washpun
SG--Washpun-Bohannon-Knar
WG--Jesperson-Morgan-Martino
S4--Buss-Koch-Carlson
C--Tuttle-Friedman-Koch

Marvin may kind of be the odd man out, simply because he doesn't really have a position. He's too slow to play on the wing, too small to play inside, and not athletic enough to play the swing 4 consistently. He'll be a force against smaller teams.

Re: New basketball recruit?

I don't anticipate a big shake up in the starting 5.

Deon, Wes, and Tuttle are locks. Buss is a very safe bet. Matt is the only starter in jeopardy IMO.

We should have more than 20 minutes available next year. Morrison is at 5MPG and Rank is at 22. Also Martino eats up 8. The problem is most of these minutes are in the front court and it's our backcourt that has a logjam.

Re: New basketball recruit?

The other option is to RS Tuttle/Deon and let Jesperson/Morgan/Wyatt/Friedman/Koch get some serious game experience so we can go all in and make it back to the S16 in 2015-2016.

Re: New basketball recruit?

As of right now, losing Rank and Morrison frees up 27.2 minutes. Rank averages about 22 with Morrison having 5. I realize the minutes are a bit off because of our OT games we've had, but next year we have Knar, Koch, Carlson, Lohaus, and Jesperson coming in. Evenly distributed, that's about 5.5 minutes per player. Do we decrease everyone else's minutes to give more to these guys? Would this allow us to fully run our up tempo offense and allow some line changes?

Re: New basketball recruit?

I don't think Carlson will see a lot of time in case he has really improved, he is listed at 6'7" but when standing next to Chip he is shorter, and I don't think he has the ball skills to play outside. If Bennett put on about 15-20 pounds by next fall I think he has a chance to really help us. Paul I think gets a bunch of minutes as a quality player.

Personally I would like to see it where non of our starters have to average more than about 26 minutes, I think we have seen Deon wear down in February and limiting his and Wes' minutes could help us a lot.

I think you just hate Carlson.

I believe that you are going to see Lohaus play and Knar take a redshirt year. I don't think there are enough minutes at the 2 for Knar next year.
