Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

Watching Morgan it becomes very obvious just how athletic he is and why some people thought he might try to also play football here. He can read passes so well and does a great job of getting in those passing lanes using his length and quickness

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

Currently our bench is out playing our starters, and that is not necessarily a bad thing, Morgan and Buss are playing with so much confidence right now.

On the Iowa State elite 8 team their 4 man I can't think of his name was 6'4", that is who Marvin could be if given 10 minutes a game, I think Friedman will struggle to see the floor the rest of the way, we could really use quality minutes from someone like Marvin.

washpun's vertical is legitimately 42+. i remember his AAU coach saying that.

Favorite play of the game was when Morgan stuffed and rolled that VCU guard.

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

I guess I haven't seen a lot of other Valley freshman, but I think Morgan's a lock for the all-freshman team and has a chance to be FOY.

Aftre that game, I am officially on the Buss train. However, keep him coming of the bench. It's really nice seeing a lead grow with the reserves and keeps the team fresh.

No football, we need him on the hardwood.

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

Not much time for Chip on the court today. I think he played a total of about 12 minutes. That's very untypical.

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

Just rewatched the game. Near the end of the game, one of the espn announcers said that Bennett Koch was better than both Jake and Adam. "Trust me" he says. Any idea where he's getting that from? From what I know, Bennett didn't get many offers. Is that just hype for hypes sake? Or has anyone heard anything like that before?

I was wondering the same thing, I mean I have heard he can take Adam in a game of 1 on 1, and the he is young for his class, but until I see it I am not sure I will believe it.

I hope it is a true statement though.

I heard that too. That announcer (sorry, don't know his name) does a lot of UNI games doesn't he? With a statement like that I'm guess he's watched him play and/or talked at length with Coach Jake about him. UNI offered him pretty early if I remember right, maybe he told other schools caught on to it right away and didn't even bother looking too hard at him. Similar situation to Lohaus for next year. I'm sure he'd have many other offers had he not been such a strong commit early.

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

Marc Adams is a pretty knowledgeable announcer, and maybe with the early offer (I believe in the summer after his sophomore year) and the strong connection to UNI no other coaches even bothered him, which can drop his recruiting ranking.

If that is even remotely true, that's is outstanding. I believe he's already 6'9" and still growing. Add some muscle before next year, he could be a serious option to replace Tuttle as our go to guy down low.

Re: Up Next: Virginia Commonwealth

On a side note: Can someone please get our pep crew to stop chanting "shake weight"? It wasn't funny three years ago, it's less funny now, and it doesn't do anything to distract the opposing team. I like energy coming from the crowd, but there are many better ways to channel it.
