Next Year Starters

[KaBullseye15]

PG-Kwazdo
SG-Josten
SG/SF-Reed or Brown
Koch
Coleman

6th Men
Guard-Viet or Brown
Post-Dunham and Egleseder

i know dunham's listed as 6'6 but i think thats a bit of a stretch. from looking at him in warmups and during the anthem and comparing his height to others on the team i think hes more 6'3-6'4, and hes skinny as a twig. so definetly not a post presence

[Panthers to the Bone]

Dunham is at a minimum 6'5" and is listed as 6'6". He will be a SF/WG. He's not quite strong enough to bang down low.

[Panther Cat]

Kwado
Josten
Brown
Koch
Coleman

Jordan, Reed, and Viet will all get some solid minutes as well. I like Dunham's style as well, just not sure if he will quite be ready to play major minutes. O'Rear will be the second post player off the bench and Jones will also see some increased minutes.

PF - Eric Coleman
C - Jordan Eglesedar

What we will see?

PG - Kwadzo

SF - Reed
PF - Coleman
C - Eglesedar

[unigriff]

whoever thinks Jordan will start is strongly mistaken. Unless he loses some lbs, gets faster and works on his defense...he will not start. Coleman is a true Center and will break Stout and McKowens record next year Oh yea not ot mention 1900 pts

[Panthers to the Bone]

Jordan will do all three of those things this summer. He will improve, as will his minutes. I don't see him overtaking Coleman at the center position, but Big Jordan COULD do it. Coleman could also begin to work more on stepping to mid range to hit jumpers (in expanding his game)...which could allow him to move to the '4'...but that seems a little bit of a stretch right now.

PG- Kwadzo
SG- Josten
SF- Reed
PF- Koch
C- Coleman

Bench play will be huge next year. Brown will be the sixth man like he was at the end of the year this year. I just think that this suits him better because he didn't do much as a starter this year. Jordan will be a big factor as well. The offseason will help. Viet, Jones, Dunham, O'Rear and the rest of the bench will need to play well to give the starters a good breather and not lose much when they are on the court. I really don't see Everette coming back because he plays football and then practices with the team from the end of the season on and he hasn't played at all in the 2 years he's been on the bench. Considering he went to Minnesota to play basketball and was a finalist for the Mr. Basketball award in HS this is a travisty.

[Panthers to the Bone]

He couldn't play last year...he had to sit out. Plus, he had a knee injury.

This year, he wasn't available to play until most of the non-con was played (learning the system, getting back from football, etc...). He's a different size than he was when he was in HS. He was leaner and had more bounce. That's not the case anymore. He's more likely to play in the pros in football than basketball.

PG-Kwadzo
SG-Jared
SF-Reed
PF-Eric C.
C-Jordan

I think we need to find a way to play Jordan and Eric at same time or we will struggle on offense and rebounding as Adam K. isn't real strong in those areas.Then throw Steven Jones,Adam V,Adam K. and Travis in the mix and we have a damn nice team.The coaches will have to tinker with the defense but i know they will do a good job.

Koch is Stout's twin four years removed. Stout was the exact same skinny kid his freshman year. When he came back his sophomore year, he was rebuilt. I expect a similar transformation from Koch. He got the playing time this year and he'll be a starter next year. The kid has a lot of talent.

[UnderParPanther]

PG - Kwadzo - backup Jones/potential juco
SG - Josten - backup Dunham/Viet/Brown
SF - Reed - backup Brown/Viet
PF - Koch - back up Jordan/Coleman
C - Coleman - backup Jordan

I would like to see a 3 man rotation of Koch, Coleman and Jordan at the 4-5 spots.

Reed is the crapshoot for next year. He didnt get to play much at Iowa, so it was hard to tell how good he actually is. I think he'll have a tremendous career here and has 1st team Valley potential.

I would like to see this lineup on the floor (not a starting lineup, just during the game)if everyone improves over the summer.

pg - kwadzo
sg - reed
sf - koch
pf - coleman
c - jordan

O'Rear and Barz will red-shirt next year and that last scholly is still to be determined.

[MediaPanther]

What I would like to see?

PG - Kwadzo Ahleghbe
SG - Carlton Reed
SF - Kerwin Dunham
PF - Eric Coleman
C - Jordan Eglesedar

What we will see?

PG - Kwadzo
SG - Josten
SF - Reed
PF - Coleman
C - Eglesedar

Wow, I would definitely not like to see Josten lose his starting spot. I can't think of anything that would make me believe Dunham would make a better starter. The kid hasn't even played a single minute yet. Dunham is 2 years from seeing any significant minutes. He just looked so weak and intimidated in those preseason games.

Does no one think Barz will play? I certainly don't know, but everyone seems so excited about him and yet he shows up on virtually no one's lists except as a red-shirt.

I think it is more a writing on the wall kind of thing. Other years he may have contributed right away, but I don't know where he would take minutes next year. I think O'Rear is ahead of Barz at this point. I just see him taking a year to break into things.

[blien]

I think:
PG Aheglebe
SG Reed
SF-Koch
PF Coleman
C Eglseder

Ahelgbe will be the point perhaps with Josten playing it and rotating with Reed at SG. I like Josten, but at times his height hurt us. he had many shots blocked, and even though it was a prayer shot by Will Franklin, if a 6'4" guy like Reed was on Franklin the shot would have been altered some. Now if Reed can not play defense like Josten, he will lose that spot. That can be said about Travis Brown..Defense was horrible. Koch had growing pains but looks to step in with a little height at 6'7 or 6'8.. Coleman starts of course but it would be nice to see a right hand develop in the post so he can turn to his right. Eglseder better start otherwise Coleman will be doubled every game in the post all year. No one seems to give Eglseder much opportunity but i seem him improving. Hey was 1-1 on 3 pointers!
I know nothing about the freshmen but everyone seems to overhype them no matter what school in Iowa (UNI,IOWA, ISU,Drake)..IIn contrast ,the underhyped- don't think there was much hype with Ben Jacobson and E Coleman as freshmen but look what they did. With that said I don't see an incmoing freshemen starting. We need a good penetrating, pull up guardforward. I seen kwadzo start doing it down the stretch.

[Panthers to the Bone]

The issue with Brown is that he was always guarding the top or second best offensive guy. if he plays with Kwadzo and Josten/Reed, he will probably draw the 3rd option, which means less of a scoring threat. That's good for him, IMO.
