Re: Prime Time League

saw stats from west point team with Haldeman and Koch which they lost playing against Morgans team. Koch was a no show. Haldeman had a solid game with 17 points 8 rebounds and 8 assists. led the team in assists and right behind bear for rebounds who had 9 rebounds. They needed Koch in this game. Did not see Stats for Morgan and Rhodes team. Morgan had another stellar performance makes it look easy in this league. Haldeman is a tough gritty player and went to basket more then I thought he did and quicker. Very unselfish and makes teammate's look good. A Jacobsen type player.

Anybody go today to the games? Any updates?

Re: Prime Time League

Saw late game Bear, Bohannon and Haldeman played Mclouds team. Koch didn't play again. Good game down till end with Haldemans team on top. Mcloud played okay but not like we have seen him play. The difference probably was better defense played against him then other games. Saw stay sheet for Randy's team and Haldeman ended up with 25 points 12 rebounds and 8 assists. He was making cross over moves to basket at ease. His explosiveness and quickness is a suprise. Lincoln Conrey was the other uni player on mclouds team and didn't play very much. Have no idea how Mclouds stats were but Haldeman played point most of the night and was the best point guard on court. Don't think the stats from last week are not up yet so maybe they will have both games up this week.

Re: Prime Time League

I got to watch most of both games. Here are my quick (hehe) take aways...

Team 5 vs 6 (Brown/Friedman vs Morgan/Rhodes)
This game ended up being a pretty close game, but I think that is only because JMo wasn't playing. Hunter wasn't there either, if I remember correctly, so I was bummed I couldn't see him play. Both Brown and Friedman played pretty well. Nothing crazy, but steady. Friedman seemed to have a better feel on offense around the hoop. It's hard to get a good feel on him in PTL since he is a bit overlooked...steady, but nothing flashy. Defense is still solid. Brown definitely had flashes of really promising and really messy. I think once the speed of the game slows down for him a bit more, he should be a threat on both sides. While I see the similarities between him and JMo, I'd say he is more polished on offense compared to where JMo was coming in, but his defense isn't as dominant. Good, still, but not where JMo was, IMO.

Teams 1 vs 3 (Klint/Wyatt vs Jordan/Justin/Adam)
Klint and Wyatt's team got smoked by team 3. I got the feeling the bigs for Team 1 were not up to par with team 3. That was the case when Wagner (Iowa) or Dahl was in. They seemed to have their way in the paint. Wyatt was smooth as butter...man, I love his mid-range pull up jump shot. He had some good feeds too. Klint was a bit off, compared to my expectation, but nothing to be concerned about. Jordan was different than I was expecting...a good different. He reminded me of A. Austin of last year, but much more smooth with the handles. It will be interesting to see where he fits in the lineup. Dahl is a beast. I think he has good feet movement for his size and there were a couple times his passing vision was really good when the ball came in, he knew where the open guy was multiple times...I like that! Adam, I think is going to be better than I thought coming in. He reminds me of a smaller version of Nicholas Baer from Iowa...good shooter and hard nosed kid who can play 2-4. There were times he was matched up against Klint where he held his own well.

Teams 2 vs 4 (Koch/Halderman vs McCloud/Conrey
Koch didn't play, so it was a smaller line-up on both sides. McCloud is as mentioned, slashy-smooth on offense. Although early in the game, it looked like he tweaked something and didn't seem the same afterwards. His defense was spectacular early in the game when Bohannon was at the point. He either picked his pocket or caused him to turn it over 2-3 times early...quick hands to go with his quick feet. He really needed a guy to sub for him, but there really wasn't anyone close who could do what he does on his team. Conrey didn't really get many opportunities and when he was in, I lost him in the shuffle. Spencer was honestly the best player on the floor...well, for the first half anyway (that's all I stayed for). He saved the game for his team when he took over the point position from JBo. He is a better slasher than I thought he would be and always finds himself in good positions for rebounding as well. He seems to have no hesitation from downtown and can hold his own pretty well against JBo's range...which is pretty impressive. I think I'm going to like watching him develop over the next couple years!

Side note...It was fun when coach Ray Swetalla came over and spent about 10-15 minutes talking with my boy and telling him what things to work on and who he should model his game after. He suggested Nicholas Baer...which in my head, I thought...yeah, that is pretty much the attitude of most all of the UNI players. It's good to be a Panther fan! Either way...that was fun for my 9 year old, and I must give props to Coach Swettalla for that!

I highly recommend going to the next one! It's hard to beat free D1 talent basketball...even if it is just the summer league games.

Re: Prime Time League

Interesting to read an Iowa fan's take on a couple of UNI players.

Correct. He's not.

Re: Prime Time League

Question for those of you who saw any games in person: how did Dailey look, especially compared to our incoming recruits?

[sivert]

Re: Prime Time League

Dailey would have been a good get. Good dribbling, quick, smooth shot.

Hunter not playing today. Conrey having a pretty good game.

Other impressions:
Uhl has a weird shooting motion.
Cook can cut through guys to the bucket and dunk or layup really well. Especially to the left. We'll have to stop that in December. I'd be interested in his shooting percentage not including dunks/layups. (And while I type this, Cook makes a 3.)

Any more on the good guys? Brown Mccloud Dahl?

I second the motion for more UNI updates from anyone that attended. I was planning on it, but had a birthday to attend. Anyone have more information?

Box scores are posted. McCloud didn't play. Morgan had 22 and Lohaus 18. Carlson only had 2 points so I don't know what happened there.
