Completely agree there. If he does, consider it icing on the cake, found money, you name it. They also need to recruit successfully.... -
Agreed. We need a couple of guys like that, at a minimum, and at more positions than just PG. Unfortunately, neither of those “couple of guys” are on the roster right now....Leave a comment:

Beggars can’t be choosers, correct. Stretches of today were some really ugly basketball. A win is a win though....Leave a comment:

The Valley is tough to figure out so far. Valpo leads the conference, and had a nice road win at SIU today. Drake is showing glimpses of regaining their footing after loosing Norton. Loyola With a nice wi. Today over IL St as well.Leave a comment:

Agreed. We need a couple of guys who can get to the rim too....Leave a comment:

Agreed, but McCloud was ONE GUY. We should have few penetrator types on our team every year, not just one every four recruiting classes. You lose the one guy, you’re basically left with your set shooter types that are pretty easy to defend....Leave a comment:

Agreed on defense, but UNI’s best teams always had a penetrator, or at least someone who was a threat to take it to the rack. UNI, and any good team who wants to do something nationally, needs a couple of those guys every year, not just occasionally....Leave a comment:

From what I’ve seen, I completely agree with you on Green. He’s not a Wes, Kwazdo, Deon type penetrator. UNI needs a couple of guys like that (EVERY YEAR), with none currently on the roster. Brown is quick, but he’s not a consistent threat to...Leave a comment:

Has there been serious talk of s BCS level conference wanting them? There’s a lot more to it than success on the field. Demographics, money behind the program, etc....Leave a comment:

The tempo Jake wanted to play could be part of that. A lot of bigger name recruits want to play a more up tempo style....Leave a comment:

CU had some nationally relevant teams despite that. They gave the conference some gravitas.
As for Loyola, VERY few people here called them a “great add” prior to them curb stomping everyone on the league last year, and making the...Leave a comment:

Yeah, it sucks for him and them. They have a younger guy with a funky haircut who plays point as well, but Norton seemed to make the whole thing go. We’ll see how Drake rebounds from this, but they looked good before.
They play Loyola...Leave a comment:

Which could explain why he got a lot of meaningful time. Let’s see if he plays against teams where man to man or pac Line is what Jake feels will work. Great work by Dahl, give him credit.
Jake has always been more of a matchups style...Leave a comment:

That’s an interesting take that I had not thought of. A couple of differences though 1) AJ is not exactly a fast tempo, Rennie style playmaker. He certainly would do well in that type of offense, but he’s not a lightning quick, blow by you type...Leave a comment:

Nice to see Dahl have a good game. It will be interesting to see if he plays regularly from here on out. In the past Jake has shown a tendency to bench certain bigs if the opponent presented a matchup or pace of play issue....Leave a comment:

Norton and Tremmel Murphy are both really solid players for them as newcomers. Ellingson from Iowa has been semi-quiet so far, but had a really good game for them last night....Leave a comment:

Probably not, but the league seems pretty wide open right now. It’s why there’s still hope for UNI this year if we can get our s&@/ together....Leave a comment:

Dahl may well be slow, but playing 16 guards isn’t great either. I didn’t see the game, so trying not to judge either way. BUT, the criticism due to too many guards is believable....Leave a comment:

Not my intent, but it’s undeniably out there. They lost a boat load of players, but kept McGlynn. That really helped because the kid’s a baller. He’s surrounded by some other good players who were brought in last minute.
They play...Leave a comment:

Something to watch in MVC play...Drake is quietly putting together a solid season. They’re 9-2, and beat a good New Mexico St team last night in the Vegas tourney. Amazing considering Devries had to recruit 8 or 9 guys at the last minute to replace...Leave a comment:
