    Something to think about

    It's only PTL basketball, but you have to give some HUGE credit to Brooks McKowen. Look at his stats the last few weeks. Also, look at what his team has done. He is the star on his team. His team is in the PTL championship, without the #1 and #3 draft picks from his team (Grant Stout and Erek Hansen). Basically, there's not a whole lot of post play going on. So, what has Brooks done?

    In the last two games, Brooks led his team over a team with Mike Henderson, Matt Schneiderman, and Carlton Reed...and then over Tyler Smith (Iowa), Glen Worley, Jared Josten, and a former sharpshooter from N.Arizona. Brooks' stat line?

    14 of 18 from 2, 6 for 6 from 3, 19 of 20 from FT line, 5.5 rebounds per game, 6.5 assists per game, and 32.5 points per game. You have to give it up for Brooks, when his other players are...Brad Joens (Wayne State), Marcus Leloux (NW College), Nate Garner (Tyler CC), Brennan Swayzer (ex-Kirkwood), Kevin Sams (ex-Drake), Kaylen Williams (when there, from Kennedy HS), and Josh Molsted (UNI). Josh has actually shot the ball rather well at times during the PTL.

    Brooks and Josh take on Kerwin Dunham's team (with Tony Freeman and Kurt Looby) on Wednesday for the PTL championship.

    AWESOME!!! I don't expect Brooks to drop 32 a game during the regular season, but this summer has forced him to 'be the man' on his team and I hope he takes that mentality into the 2006-2007 season. He will be asked to score a little more with the losses of Benny, Erik and J Lit from the perimeter. He's still going to send it into the post first to Grant and Coleman, but when it comes out this kid has the confidence (dare I say swaggar) to knock down shots and be the scoring threat we need him to be this season.

      I watched Brooks' game last night on TV and they interviewed him after the game. He says he has dropped some weight and you could see it in his face, looked a little more tone as well.

        Brooks' "problems" last year all stemmed from his confidence level, and seeing these things already coming out makes me really excited to see Brooks step-up and become a senior leader with Grant. I really hope this is just a preview of the kind of SHOOTING GUARD (thats for coach jake) Brooks can be I really hope he becomes a big time scoring threat.

        And with this kind of confience builder and getting in better shape I dont see him not becoming a great scorer this season.

        Congrats to Brooks.

          Brooks has shown flashes of being a big time threat. I hope teams like Iowa and ISU double down on Stout and Coleman and leave Brooks open from the perimeter He's going to beat a lot of teams who choose to do that.
          The cool part is...if they don't, Coleman and Stout will carve them up inside. If the young kids come to play this season...we could be pretty good again.

            Northern Iowa guard Brooks McKowen shot five 3-pointers and led Community Motors with 26 points and took home the Chris Street award at half-time.

            Brooks' team lost in the championship game. Still a pretty amazing run.
