UNI MBB offseason thread

[CyCarp]

Yea, just my opinion, even in the non conference I thought he wasn't comfortable/confident, like he was overthinking. Hopefully with a year under his belt he can kind of let go and play looser.

From the flashes that we saw, if he plays to his potential he will be good Nate Buss for the next couple years. A guy like that is absolutely invaluable, especially in the system we're trying to run.

Panthers win their first game overseas, 108-75.

Can these be watched online?

Or even just a box score? I want to physically count every damn point, because a math error is far more likely than UNI actually putting up 100+.

[CyCarp]

Only thing I've seen other than a score...

Northern Iowa's Freshman Antwan Kimmons (@_AntwanK12) played big in Brescia today, @leocilia9 told me. The bouncy point guard was really active on defense and controlled well the pace on the offensive end

That's really nice to read, even if it's still very early and just an off-season game against what could have been very inferior competition.

Not gonna overreact but really encouraging to see Kimmons and Noah Carter contributing big.

15 of 25 from the international 3pt line ain't bad either.

Did Jake miss the flight?

Spencer taking Wyatt's spot in the starting 5, still gives us Pickford and Phyfe as starter-caliber players off the bench, not counting the newbies.

I think Antwan Kimmons might turn out to be a huge get that didn't draw a ton of attention at the time.

He's strong, bouncy, can shoot and go to the rack and plays defense. And he plays with some attitude.

Panther fans are gonna like him a lot by February.

Marc Sonnen has been coaching him both in season and during the off season. He's that kind of guy, an absolute bulldog just like Marc was. With his build I'm picturing Kwadzo. He will be a really nice piece in the backcourt the next 4 years

I haven't seen too much of him obviously, but his attitude kinda reminds me of Wes. Off the court he's all smiles. On the court, game face on, takes no crap from anybody. I love it

There are a few highlight videos on Youtube I checked out. Both high school ball and club ball.

What surprised me is how really athletic he is...there were several alley oops thrown to him (to the point guard!) and solo dunks.

And how good his jump shot looks nice. Gets up off the floor with a good release. Not a guy who's shot needs a lot of work coming in...as we've seen a few times before.

When you add to that his college ready body and attitude to playing D...really surprised the kid didn't have a lot more offers. I'm assuming that's because he's not 6'3".

@UNImbb on twitter released a minute long highlight reel. The editing is ridiculous but there's a nice dunk by Berhow and a lot of deep 3 pointers
