We're kind of all over the place with news and discussion in the Recruiting and Schedule threads. Here's a place to consolidate everything and let those threads be about what they're supposed to be about.

Assuming Berhow is eligible, here is my early look at minutes.
Starters:
Green (30)
Pickford (30)
Brown (25)
Goldman (18)
Phyfe (20)
Bench:
Lohaus (22)
Croft (15)
Berhow (20)
McDonnell (8)
Dahl (8)
Haldeman (5)
Justin Dahl has transformed his body. He's noticeably slimmer and there's a lot of definition in his arms and shoulders, The kid has obviously worked really hard. If he and McDonnell can give us 15 minutes a night combined, it makes the rotation work really well. We're also going to see stretches with Isaiah at the 4.
Berhow averaged 30.5 MPG last year so its not out of line to think he'll play around 20 here.
I see Haldeman as the loser minutes wise with Berhow coming in. He's a good shooter but not good enough to mask some of the other things he struggles with and we know how important length on the wing is defensively.

I also think you are wrong on Spencer. He is a 4th year Jr that has played big minutes and is a proven shooter. I have a hard time believing he’ll just get tossed aside. Especially when you have an unproven 1st year juco transfer presumably eating up all his minutes.UNI FIGHT

I think Wyatt plays higher minutes as well. AJ Green is going to make lots of players look really good. Teams will have to guard him with and without the ball. Opening up everyone. Last year Koch’s guy never had to leave the paint and Juwans guy sagged way off him as well. Everyone will benefit from him.
I also think AJ being taller helps Spencer. Was tough last year to have spencer and Juwan both under 6 foot out on defense. If Spencer hits threes he will play.
Excited what Biggie can bring. However, we all know that if you don’t play Jakes defense. You don’t play.

I wouldn't be too surprised if Wyatt starts and Jake starts Tywhon at the 4. Biggie and Phyfe are the 2 guys that bring good size, is it better to not have them on the same rotation? I feel like Jake usually wants to let his senior contributors start, but as always, starting didn't necessarily mean he'll play more minutes than the guys on the bench. I really like the way this team stacks up, but my main concern is defending the post. I feel like a guy like Krutwig wil murder us, hopefully I'm wrong. Can't wait to get the season under way.Last edited by CyCarp; 09-17-2018, 09:14 PM.To avoid confusion - my username is baseball (Cy Young award) related, NOT for the Cyclones.

How does anyone expect Croft to play when just arriving in August? Had to be a reason not to be here earlier especially coming from a community college. He has a lot to learn before getting playing time here..Just don’t have a good feeling with him after not coming till August. I think it is a sign.Last edited by PanthersMBB; 09-18-2018, 07:33 AM.

We'll improve over last year, no doubt, with AJ (and the subtraction of Sr's) but by how much depends on how good Biggie can be, IMO."...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."
