Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

My guess is if we had him on the team we would like him. He is probably UNI's O'Rear.

Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

How often can people bring up O'Rear? Can we let him go please?

Real question... Do the coaches not like Singleton or what? Seriously, it seems like when he gets in the game he does good things (mostly last year so far) then doesn't play again for 10 or so games.

Amen. I really think it is messed up situation.

Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

McDermott was not some great recruiting catch, if he was then why can't UNI recruit anybody near that good now?

McDermott was a plant by his dad, an agreement between two friends.

It will be let go when we start recruiting more players like him. It has been a huge void on this team ever since.

Normally I disagree with 90% of what you write Mudra, but I think you're spot on here.

I'm not ready to pull Friedman's scholarship yet, it's still just 7 games into his freshmen season, but it would be nice to have the luxury of having an impact post player ready to go from Day One.

Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

So we need to find a big body that knows what it means to hustle. Shouldn't be that hard.

Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

You are all remembering Luke as a polished senior. Totally not fair to Friedman.

For Comparison's sake I give you Luke's first 7 games as a true freshman. Also, notice the competition level in comparison to this years schedule...

vs Northern Illinois-- 12 minutes, 2 pts, 2 rebs, 2 fouls
vs Cal Poly-- 8 minutes, 0 pts, 2 reb, 4 fouls
vs UMass-- 14 minutes, 0 points, 2 rebs, 3 fouls
@ Milwaukee- 8 minutes, 1 point, 2 rebs, 2 fouls
@ So Dak St- 10 minutes, 5 points, 3 rebs, 3 fouls
@ Iowa State- 11 minutes, 6 points, 4 rebs, 2 fouls
vs Loyola- 14 minutes, 0 points, 2 rebounds, 1 foul

One more comparison-- Jordan Eglseder's first 7---
vs Nicholls State-- 2 min, 0 points, 0 rebs, 0 fouls
vs Pepperdine-- 14 min, 8 pts, 7 rebs, 2 fouls
@ Washington-- 10 min, 7 pts, 0 rebs, 3 fouls
vs Milwaukee-- 11 min, 5 pts, 6 rebs, 4 fouls
vs So Dak St-- 5 min, 0 points, 1 reb, 0 fouls
vs Iowa State-- 9 min, 0 points, 1 reb, 1 foul
@ Bucknell-- 7 min, 2 points, 1 reb, 1 foul

Just saying that making huge generalizations about Friedman's ability to play might be a bit over the top...

Way too much logical thinking here

Has Friedman gotten past the skunk line yet?

Not sure this helps make your point. What is teds 0 points for the season so far.

Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

I don't blame Friedman at all, he needs time.

I blame the coaches for recruiting damn near nothing for the front court and signing every high school guard within 600 miles that ever hit a 3 pointer.

All the roster has is Tuttle and Friedman, Rank should be playing small forward in a perfect situation. No program is going to be good when the entire inside game is built around two guys and that is it.

Need to take more chances on guys like Pehl, Olivier and JUCOs...who cares if they flame out, better to try and fail then to just have 3 or 4 three point chuckers on the bench they don't need.

Would love to see some big stiffs on the bench because sometimes those stiffs are a diamond in the rough.

Well, we do have two bigs who are redshirting this season...let's not forget about those guys either. We ARE recruiting bigs, they're just not always ready to play right away.

Then one could reason this season was a throw away season. They shouldn't have redshirted all the bigs if any of them could walk and chew gum at the same time.

Next season needs to be a heck of a year because Tuttle will be on his final run. If there are no signs of more and better bigs on the floor next year then you can start printing the $5 tickets today.
