I have seen a couple pics on twitter regarding the teams first practice. Is it me or is there a lack of hype regarding the upcoming season? There is seldom anything on social media from UNIMBB or UNI athletics. When you see most of the teams in MVC and other conferences showing pics, introducing players, videos and some interviews for the first week and really displaying to their fans their teams are excited for the season. Maybe we will see more this week. I have no idea who handles social media for the team but it could be a lot better. We know our media coverage is very poor for UNI so anyway we can get better with social media helps. I always enjoy the Panther Madness for seeing the new guys and just getting excited for the season. But that is not on the schedule so not sure if it is happening this season.

Meh, the program takes on the personality of its leader. The fact that Jake even has a Twitter account is pretty remarkable for how reserved and introverted he is.
I'd love it if we had a giant marketing campaign, flashy videos an wore alternate uniforms, but that's just not Jake.
In the end, he wins. A lot. That's really all that matters -

Jake confirms at media day the McCloud and Brown will play this year.
Says Ashton is in phenomenal shape.
Says Dahl has grown over the summer and is noticeably taller than now 6-10 Bennett Koch.Comment

Re: 2016-17 mens bb begins journey
Does anyone know what media was present? I saw tweets from Scott Westerberger (channel 9)and Nothing from channel 7, the Gazette, Channel 2 and no one from the Des Moines register. Does anyone know if the press conference for the Media day will be on any site?Last edited by PanthersMBB; 10-04-2016, 03:08 PM.Comment

Re: 2016-17 mens bb begins journey
There are pictures on the UNI Men's Basketball Facebook page, and about a 5 min video of Coach Jake on the Twitter page. The team wore black for the media day, I like it myself. Looks real sharp.
Also, I'm not on top of current media, but Rick Coleman from KWWL was there for sure.Last edited by CyCarp; 10-04-2016, 04:41 PM.To avoid confusion - my username is baseball (Cy Young award) related, NOT for the Cyclones.Comment

Re: 2016-17 mens bb begins journey
McCloud is probably the best point guard that we've ever recruited. Who knows where he ends up when it's all said and done, but he's got a chance to be an all-timer.Originally posted by domedays View PostComment

One of my managers is friends with the Netten family. Coach told them that they are really excited for McCloud to play here.Originally posted by BCPanther View Post
Secondly, I've been told by students or friends of McDonnell that he slipped on ice last year and tore his acl. That's why he was on crutches.Comment

Still on crutches 7+ months in? That seems like not good news.Comment

Re: 2016-17 mens bb begins journey
Here are several articles by the Gazette and Register on media day. Enjoy the publicity while you can because we won't get this much until we play Iowa.
"And immediately, (P'Allen Stinnett's) Facebook status was spouting vulgarities towards the university."Comment

Re: 2016-17 mens bb begins journey
It always seemed odd that the initial report was minor knee surgery, given everyone saw him on crutches. Not playing in the PTL was another indication it was a more intensive rehab program. Still looks like McDonnell could use another year to add some strength, as well.Originally posted by Moose39 View PostComment

Re: 2016-17 mens bb begins journey
I thought Coach was going very public with how pleased he has been so far with several of the newcomers. Not the usual close-to-the-vest "they haven't played a game yet" stuff.
Makes me optimistic!Comment
