New basketball recruit?

Re: New basketball recruit?

Really tired of people blabbing on about "poor post play". Annoying. Love what Seth Tuttle brings to the table. Great effort. Really love what Jake Koch has brought for four years.

UNI's offense has been a three guard/one low post and one high post player for pretty close to a decade. It's been that way since Gruber and Schneiderman. Coleman and Stout. Adam Koch and Egleseder. Now Koch and Tuttle.

2317, I've always respected your knowledge of hoops, and still do. That said, this staff's lack of recruiting or development success with big men is becoming an issue. Also, maybe the style of offense you mention should be scrutinized too. If we're recruiting to that, then maybe it explains why we bring in too many 6'2 gaurds who lack some of the skillset to play at the MVC level.

I like our coaches, so not trying to be too negative. That said, being a fan does not mean choking on Kool Aid either.

We'll probably do well in the league next year, but this doesn't equate to a successful season IMO.

The UNI basketball program is to a point where success means making the big dance.

The NCAA tournament being the standard of success or failure seems kind of high to me, but here is what 3 minutes of looking got me.

Tournament appearances since 1990:
Creighton -10
SIU - 9
Northern Iowa -6
Missouri State - 3
Wichita State - 3
Illinois State - 3
Indiana State - 3
Evansville -3
Bradley - 2
Drake - 1

Looks like the average Mo Valley team goes 1 out of 8 years. We have been about 1 out of 4. I hope we can continue that rate but as Southern and others can tell you there are no guarantees.
Final note I am really bad at math and I hope these numbers are at least pretty kinda accurate.

Once every four years would be good enough for me. What i cant stand is everybody screaming what a great year a 20 win team is that won three games in a toilet tournament you have to pay to be in.

I think coach Jake expects NCAA tourney teams most years. It is a disappointment if we do not go. Not a failure but certainly disappointing seasons. Count me as disappointed the last three years.

1 out of every four years is not good enough imho.

Re: New basketball recruit?

idk why all this talk about the post play and recruiting is taking place in this thread but back to Jesperson...I think we are the only program Paul's looking at now that was in on him as a HS Senior, correct?

Chris Foster is leaving for Truman State in Kirksville, MO. as Assoc. Head Coach under Matt Woodley.

What little I got to interact with Coach Foster, during the last year, I was impressed with his character and personality. Seems like a great opportunity for a young coach.....wish him well.

Re: New basketball recruit?

For some reason I just don't think this will be Chris Foster's last stop in Cedar Falls.

FYI, Joe Coleman a 6'4 guard from Minnesota is also transferring. I do not know if we were in on him initially out of high school or not (or if we would be now), but the reason that I bring it up is that he was a high school and AAU teammate of Martin Singleton.

Re: New basketball recruit?

I find both of these transfers very interesting.

1) Both just finished there 2nd year.
2) Played around 25 minutes a game (both were 4th most on the team)
3) I'm sure they were both important parts of next years team, neither were going to be the "the goto guy"

Re: New basketball recruit?

NY2LA is reporting that Paul is transferring to Pepperdine, where his brother David just committed to. Though I'm thinking they may have misunderstood which one Jesperson was going there, because the tweet doesn't appear on their page, only my timeline.

[06panther10]

I don't know where you are seeing that reported, I haven't seen anything on Paul.

Would make more sense for him end up at USC now though, which he already visited, being that Pepperdine is in the same city...

Re: New basketball recruit?

Like I said, it may be a mistake because it only showed up on my timeline and not NY2LA's profile when you visit their twitter page. They may have just mistaken Paul going there instead of David. Though it's possible they're both going there. Here's a screenshot

Re: New basketball recruit?

NY2LA tweeted that it was indeed David and not Paul. Crisis averted.
