  • I love that he's been working with Sonnen. Also, sounds like he's a strong defender. I was a little iffy at first, but the kid seems pretty good.

    • Quote from the article:

      Through conversations with UNI’s coaches, Klingsporn believes there will be an opportunity for Kimmons to contribute immediately if he prepares himself and performs the right way.
      If Kimmons is as hard a worker as everyone close to him is saying, I don't think that will be a problem.

        • Brady Ernst to Drake. Much happier with our signing.

            Honest question, will this be his third or fourth school?

              4 points per game on a really bad FGCU team as a junior. Thats just not a quality pick up

                  5th commitment. (Iowa State, Indian Hills, Xavier, FGCU, Drake)

                  4th School. (Iowa State, Indian Hills, FGCU, Drake)

                  • Drake fans are psyched. He fills a need and has good size and rebounds fine, but his stats at FGC are not inspiring.

                    Brady Ernst tweeted before his commitment that he was gonna be in the tournament next year. Good luck with that...

                    Gonna sound like a big time hater, but I'll be shocked if they finish top 4 next year in the valley

                      Yeah - but they shocked me [everybody] this year...

                        If Norton gets a waiver (certainly possible) they'll be picked top 3 in the MVC next year. Without him they'll be 4th or 5th

                        • Norton ain't getting a waiver. He's done.

                          Year 2 is always harder than Year 1. I think they're going to be fine in the future but the rebuild catches somewhere. I'd pencil them in 5th/6th right now which is actually a helluva year for Drake.

                          Super, super early look at next year--

                          Tier 1--Missouri State, UNI, Loyola

                          Tier 2--Bradley, Illinois State

                          Tier 3--Illinois State, Drake, Evansville, Indiana State

                          Tier 4- Southern Illinois, Valpo

                            Norton played almost 45% of Drakes regular season games. That doesn't even come close to the 30% max to qualify. Maybe theres some special circumstances, but odds of his return seems bleak

                            • The Kimmons signing looks very promising based on the two linked videos in this thread and articles. Exactly what UNI needs - an outstanding on-ball defender, a penetrating PG that can break down defenses and kick out to AJ et al.

                              A step in the right direction. And how about those sweet player introduction gyrations?

                              Could be a great pickup and exactly what we need!

                              • I thought I read somewhere that they prefer running our offense with two bigs if the personnel allows, but they couldn't this year because we didn't have the bodies.

                                If that is true, any chance we go to a "line-change" type substitution pattern like we have had in some years previous. Thinking something like this.

                                Starters:
                                AJ
                                Trae
                                Isaiah
                                Luke
                                Austin

                                Sub Team:
                                Kimmons
                                Spencer
                                Tywhon
                                Biggie
                                Dahl

                                Just thinking out loud.
