I really can't wait for this hoops season. I want to see what everyone can do.

Rob, is there any word at all re: Maishe Daily? He sure seems confident in his abilities and I see his potential. But is he forever caught in a numbers game? I'd heard over the summer than he's actually now closer to 6'8". Is he gonna be a 3/4 now?
 


I’m a little concerned how Nunge is going to fit into the team. It will be interesting to see how he plays at the 3. Reminds me a bit of White who was forced to play out of position. I think he would be best suited to play the 4 but with Cook and Pemsl it could be tough.

I could see Nunge taking some playing time from Pemsl. Pemsl was great last year and they say he’s even better physically and I love his toughness but I still think Jack has a more complete game of
being a threat from both inside and outside. He’s probably a better defender and rim protector.

Maishe is an intriguing player. I like what I saw this summer in PTL

The backcourt is as thin as the frontcourt is full. He could get a chance.
 


since football season is shot might as well turn our attention to basketball and start making some unrealistic expectations. Final 4 baby!!!

I'm with ya. Intriguing is a good word for him. He "seems" to be able to play 1-3 with his length and ball handling. If he can also post up to go with his 3pt ability...intriguing.
 




I didn't get to any PTL games this summer. I wanted to but between AAU travel and work travel, I never made it.

If you look at the Hawkeye Nation You Tube account, there are a lot of highlights from the PTL if you're interested.
