Give me a team full of Tuttle's

Re: Give me a team full of Tuttle's

I think Deon has gained back whatever weight he shed over the summer. He is two steps slower than he was in December and has not been the same player since injuring his ankle against ISUblue. He isn't able to beat his man off the dribble with consistency and frequently gets rejected at the rim. All signs of the explosive Deon we watched during the VCU game are gone. I know the coaches have consistently pushed the issue of conditioning with Deon during his time at UNI and he has made intermittent progress, but apparently old habits die hard.

I agree. Recently I noticed that he looks bigger (not muscle-wise).

I don't think I can question the effort of any of these guys. However, this did not seem like the well-disciplined team I've seen in previous years.

Re: Give me a team full of Tuttle's

Here are my 2 cents

Tut- Toughest minded player on the team, makes a vast majority of his free throws, and rebounds hard

Buss- Great offensively, a lot better defensively than most give him credit for, when he's on we have to do a better job of getting him the ball

Bo- He just needs to play ball, when he's thinking he's stinking

Wes- Best athlete UNI basketball has probably ever had, just needs to be able to use his right hand to finish at the hoop

Deon- I honestly think he wants to do good so bad that he forces things, he just needs to slow down

Morgan- He was a freshman, sometimes you could tell that, and sometimes you saw what he is going to be

Singleton- Deserves minutes, no doubt about that, but I think around 12-15 is the right total next year

Max- Bad mouth Max all you want, but he is a hard working kid that would do anything for the program.

Ted- I really hope he grows leaps and bounds by next year, we could really use his big body
