Northern Iowa's AJ Green is the best guard that no one is talking about

Please feel free to get the article link. Another good article there about the bubble watch and UNI.

Bart Torvik has an analytic National POY predictor. No idea what's in there, but
AJ is now #31.
31 AJ Green Northern Iowa 1.291

[UNIAlum2010]

If you actually chose the "during conference play" filter he has AJ #15 right now.

If you go during conference play just MVC AJ/Phyfe are #1/#2.

if you go full year for the MVC.

1	AJ Green	Northern Iowa	1.291
2	Cameron Krutwig	Loyola Chicago	1.186
3	Austin Phyfe	Northern Iowa	0.886
4	Trae Berhow	Northern Iowa	0.879

My favorite part about those numbers is that all three of those guys will be back next season.

And two of them have two more years of eligibility

Did a little math today on AJ's potential scoring. All of this assumes that he stays for all 4 years:

If AJ continues at his current CAREER pace of 17.2 ppg; and UNI plays the same number of games as last season every year (34), AJ would graduate with 2,339 points. This about as conservative as possible.

If AJ continues from this point on at his current SEASON pace of 20.2 ppg; and UNI plays the same number of games as last season every year, AJ would graduate with 2,569 points. This is a conservative estimate as well, essentially meaning AJ stays the same guy he is now, and UNI never makes an NCAA tournament.



If UNI players a few more playoff games each season, and AJ keeps developing from his current scoring rate at 20.2 ppg.... we could see something very very special in Cedar Falls...:

If AJ finished this season continuing at his current 20.2 ppg pace, and UNI plays 1 extra game (1 NCAA tournament game). Then next year AJ increases his average to 22.2 ppg (2 ppg gain), and UNI plays 2 additional games (2 NCAA tourney games). Then his senior year AJ polishes his game to be able to score 24.2 ppg (another 2 ppg) and UNI plays 3 additional games (3 NCAA tournament games). AJ would finish his career at UNI with 2,910 points. That would be 14th all time.

It isn't hard to imagine a scenario where AJ hits 3,000 points. Enjoy what we're getting to watch at UNI right now. It may never happen again.

Right - if AJ weren't having such an amazing season, there would be news articles about the year Austin and Trae are having.

A lot of people were real high on Phyfe for a reason. SOme of that just got lost last year.

The scary thing with him is that he was a better shooter HS/freshman year. if he gets that back.....

Three of the best 4 players in the league coming back next year and some of you are convinced we won't be preseason favorites. SMDH

Its possible that we have three 1st team All Conference guys this year, as well as the defensive player of the year. And Spencer, who won 6th man of the year last season, should still be Honorable Mention.

Trae is the most underappreciated player in the league. Nobody talks about him as he averages 14 & 6.

He won't be First Team but he absolutely should be. First team should be AJ, Austin, Trae, Krutwig and Key but it won't be...

Say it again for the people in the back.

If AJ wasn't on this team, Trae would not only be our leading scorer. He would be hailed as a complete STUD, and a huge transfer get for Jacobson, and our leader for this and next season. He's getting overshadowed by maybe the best player in school history. But I won't let Trae go unappreciated.

If he doesn't end up as a first team all conference player, I'll be furious. He's 9th in scoring, sure. But he's first in FG% for non-bigs. He's first in 3pt%. 3rd in FT%. He's an outstanding defender who legitimately defends 5 positions every game.

I totally agree. I just won’t be surprised when the media looks at Loyola, sees 5 returners who will be seniors and they start drooling over themselves.

Hopefully, a nice run in March reshapes these thoughts...
