Prime Time League Info?

[ajpanther]

Thanks for the welcome and all the compliments on Jordan. We are very excited to be Panther Parents, and are looking forward to a great season. All of the new recruits are fine young gentelmen with great parents. And all of the returning players are excellent examples for our guys. Grant and Brooks came to Bellevue and did a mini camp for Coach Squires a couple of weeks ago. I was very impressed. A class act. We are proud to be a part of this program. Go Panthers!!!!!

Do your In-Laws golf? I manage the Golf Course and enjoy having Panther fans come and visit, They don't have to golf to stop in and say hello, check out the view and have a cocktail or soda. The view of the Mississippi is awesome.

They don't...but we can definitely stop by and say 'hello'! We won't be there again until July, but we'll have to stop out...I'll just ask for "ajpanther"

Coming in for Bellevue Golf over 4th

I think I might be the only Californian coming to Bellevue for summer vacation. Love golfing the 9-holer in Bellevue. Will try to get dad on the course a couple of times. He needs to play some golf this summer to take his mind off of 2nd Place this year. Will be looking to have a cold one with AJ Panther.

welcome ajpanther. My hubby and I ride RAGBRAI (yes we already have the
new UNI cycling shirts! AWESOME!!) and it ended in Bellevue a couple years
ago. A great ride down the hill into Bellevue - great town!! We're looking forward to watching Jordan play @ UNI!

Yeah...but do you wear your purple shoes when you ride?

[Panther'73]

If I could figure out how to attach bike cleats to them, I would!!!

I went to PTL last night and here are my observations:

Returning players:

Grant Stout is still hitting the weight room, his arms are BIG, bigger than last year. Made some nice moves in the paint and hit some jumpers, played pretty well.

Eric Coleman has lost some weight and must be working out with Stout. He has some definition in his arms. As always dominating people with his left hand and has developed a 17 ft jump shot. Nailed a couple of those as well as getting the ball at the post, facing up to the basket and a nice little kiss off the glass. (Most impressive to me the whole night)

Brooks McKowen played very well and I think his court vision is getting better, not like it wasn't good to start with. Was driving to the hole alot and made quite a few jumpers. Looks like he is getting ready for that scoring role.

New Recruits:

Jones and the kid from Minnesota (I can never remember how to spell his name so I don't want to butcher it) were not there that I saw, was looking forward to seeing them.

Jordan "Big E" Egelseder (Hope I spelled that right) played very well last night and I love his nice smooth shot from the free throw line. He has lost some weight (12 lbs.) since the last time I saw him play. Very smart player and knows were to be on the court. Made a lot of nice moves down in the post

Kerwin Dunham has a very quick first step, going right or left. Very nice shot and I think will help a lot once he does wear a purple and gold uniform but it won't be next year, my guess is he red shirts. He has a lot of positives going for him but he needs to gain some serious weight to play in the Valley, at least 20 pounds. Not a knock on him, I just want him to be ready when he does play.

Adam Koch has great form but if he can get his release a little higher, his jump shot will be unblockable. He is an athlete in every sense of the word, plays very hard and you can tell he doesn't like to lose or even be behind. Had one great highlight last night, got an outlet pass dribbled behind his back then up the court for very tough and contested layup. Adam also needs to gain some weight (15 lbs or so) but I think he will see some playing time next year

Josh Molstead had UNI next to his name, didn't know anything about him. Has one of the prettiest jump shots I have ever seen but needs a lot of space to get it off, he is I am guessing 5'8" and that is being nice. Very quick player, not fast but quick. If he can get a little space beyond the arc, it is going to be 3 points for the good guys.

[Matt Trump]

Thanks for the great analysis SMK!

How did the UNI players stack up against the players from other colleges?

Good to hear that Brooks is shooting well. Was he well defended? I've heard there is not a lot of defense played in that league.

[SMK4UNI]

Not a lot of defense is an over statement. It is a fun based league with most games getting around 100 points. Brooks didn't look any more defined than what I remember.

About players from other schools, Iowa has some great recruits coming in with Smith, Gorney, Tate, and Garner. Give them a couple of years to play with one another, I think they could be tougn. Tony Freeman, from Iowa, looked quick as ever.

There was a kid that use to play at Kirkwood, I will have to look at the program for his name, but he was a high riser. This kid was a stud at jumping, not to bad of a jump shot but man could he get up. There was also another kid that goes to Marshalltown CC that was a pretty good athlete but my guess since he is at MCC he has grade problems. When I get those kids' names I will let you know.

The other interesting thing I saw was Coleman and Stout were guarding each other most of the night. Don't they gaurd each other enough in practise? Coleman, if I remeber right has Seth Gorney (Iowa) on his team and was hoping to see Stout gaurd him more than he did.

everyone is talking about how well people did in the league games, but where can i find the stats on everyone? the primetime league site sucks and the stats page doesnt work.

Thanks

I'll be looking forward to it... Let me know when you're going to be in town.

Nice Meeting you last night SMK4UNI. Great analysis of the games.. You are right on.

[SMK4UNI]

Good meeting you as well ajpanther. If any of you get a chance to talk to ajpanther, take it. Extremly nice and very light hearted.

Did Jordan's team win last night?

I had to leave early last night and you were on the phone so I didn't have a chance to say goodbye.

If you really want the stats you must keep them for yourself. I have tried to look at the stats page on the website and like you said it doesn't work. I see a lot of people there with pens and paper writing down everything. Next time I go I will try to keep a few stats and let you guys in. If I hear anything while I am down there about where to find stats, I will post that also.

Brooks didn't look any more defined than what I remember.

That is funny, because that's how I read Reed's question the first time through too. Then I thought that doesn't sound right and went back and read it again.
