Looking Forward

[BCPanther]

Even if he doesn't get drafted he could be signed to a Select or Two-Way Contract, correct? In either case a G-League contract could net him at least $100K+

I feel like he's going to be on a Select at worst. The Bucks and Pacers have both had him in multiple times and that's pretty rare.

This was the part that I was not looking forward to - him being listed as a former cyclone every time he was mentioned anywhere. At the end of the day, I don't think he ever wanted to be anything other than a UNI Panther.

It's been interesting these last few years listening to Cy fans in my life and online saying that AJ would have been a role player at ISU, or saying that he wouldn't be an impact player in the Big 12. But they thought they were gonna land him, they changed their tune on that quick. Not going to lie, I enjoyed seeing him drag all those fans along for months only to turn them down at the last moment.

Whether you think AJ or Tuttle is the greatest Panther ever, you're not wrong. He's certainly on the Mount Rushmore. I hope he achieves everything he wants to accomplish.

And it was nice of AJ to let Cole break the news since he's the closest thing we have to a beat writer.

Yeah, that was not lost on me, either. Cole has done so much for UNI. Is great to see this.

It's time to find a way to make Cole our Chris Williams/Jon Miller.

Thank you AJ!

Amen.

Thanks for all of it AJ.

The points. The W's. The busting your ass. The comeback. And for going out this way.

Only thing concerning with Skipper is he never tweeted that we offered him. Perhaps he's just gonna announce his commitment right away?

I hope AJ can play in the NBA - even if it's just for a few plays. UNI has had a couple of false starts but never had anyone actually play in the NBA. I'm just glad he didn't end up in Ames.

All the cry babies on the clown boards... Just priceless.

Uni hired Gameli Ahelegbe as an assistant basketball coach. Most recently with Univ St Thomas. Older brother of Kwadzo Ahelegbe.

Is the Skipper stuff just speculation?

Gotcha. I just am skeptical until we hear of an offer. We've been connected to others but offers were never mentioned

He just feels like the kind of kid we get. Completely unimpressive list of offers and little buzz. I'm probably extrapolating a little bit.

I mean it's not hard to assume that haha. Was just curious if there was something else I missed.

A little seasoning in the G League. He'll get there.
