Lol. No worries. I don't take myself too seriously.I was talking about 5656.
Whoops, looked back at the thread, may have been in a bit of a haze this am.

It would be nice to see Green play at the power 5 level. He does appear to have similar talent to Bohannon. The Missouri Valley has taken a huge hit in basketball with the loss of Creighton and Wichita State over the last 3-4 years.Lol. No worries. I don't take myself too seriously.
He did have P5 offers. He chose to play for his dad. Hard to blame him.It would be nice to see Green play at the power 5 level. He does appear to have similar talent to Bohannon.

I wish Green would have waited to commit somewhere else as I think he would have gotten power 5 offers and could have fallen back to UNI if he did not. Pretty hard to pass up on a kid who can shoot like that even if just a role player at the next level which I believe he could be in a lot of teams playing rotation. Good luck to him, seems like a good kid, UNI likely got a very good player for their level.
Selfishly, I was hoping to see him play at the next level. At UNI I will see him when he plays IA and maybe ISU, possibly Drake or if UNI makes the NCAA. Seems to me UNI will have to win the Missouri Valley Tournament for them to get in the NCAA as I don't see that conference getting two in anymore.He did have P5 offers. He chose to play for his dad.

UNI has been to more NCAA tournaments than Iowa has, in the past 10 years. Maybe he made the right choice?Selfishly, I was hoping to see him play at the next level.

At Iowa, ISU or any Big 10 School I would have seen him play much more often. Again just selfish on my part. Wish him all the best in his career.
I hate to side with the troll here but Eric May was very athletic man, more athletic than Joe I would imagine.
I think the excitement of seeing Joe in person has led you in to thinking, which is good, I’m excited for Joe too. I don’t think that Joe’s calling card in necessarily athleticism, it’s more his blend of size, shooting and athleticism. There will be plenty of guys at the college level more athletic than Joe, but I suspect Joe will be a better basketball player than the vast majority of them.
Time will tell. You may very well be right. I can not think of one team in the Missouri Valley that UNI should lose to, assuming UNI gets back to how they have been in the past. It would seem logical that they would win the MVC tournament every 2 or 3 years. Will be interesting to observe if losing Creighton and Wichita State impacts UNI's recruiting going forward. Most likely will see him on TV 5 or 6 times over the next 4 years assuming they win the MVC conference tournament every other year. I did not see one UNI game on TV this year which is unusual. Normally see them at least once. I would have enjoyed seeing him 10 or more times in a year at Iowa. I could see him being one of the outside shooters that torches Iowa's perimeter defense. Hope he has a great career at UNI other then when they play Iowa every other year.UNI has been to more NCAA tournaments than Iowa has, in the past 10 years. Maybe he made the right choice?
I’m sure by the time Pmac gets to campus Fran will have gotten him coached up on playing defense.
Watching the videos...PMac seems to have a great deal of potential...give him 2-3 years...height, fluid, can grow into it...I can see why he is highly rated.
He can end up being a unique type player, difficult to guard...
Joe...the Real Deal
So when he's 21 he'll be good. Promising! Haha. I was not impressed with Patrick at all at from what I saw. Joe is so good though seeing him in person. I think he'll be our best player next year if Tyler doesn't come back.
2-3 years is promising when he's a junior in high school. 2 years is his freshman year and 3 years is either his redshirt freshmen year or sophomore year. That gives him 3 or 4 years of being good in an Iowa uniform. What's wrong with that?
I guess I was just frustrated with his play in DSM and he was a lot worse than I expected. When someone says 2-3 years he'll be good it doesn't give me much hope since he should be a senior and a 2018 recruit anyways. On the flip side Joe was even better than I expected and hopefully Pat never plays here so it all could work out for the better.
Why does it matter how old he is? Unless you think athletes peak at 22 or 23? Him being a year older is nothing but a benefit.
Because he is closer to his peak than if he was a year younger. It's the same reason NBA drafts younger players. I couldn't believe it when the guy next to me at the game told me he was supposed to be a a senior after seeing his frame. I am still holding out hope he is not playing here and we have someone new righting the ship though.
Closer to his peak is a good thing for college and a bad thing for NBA. Are you afraid he's going to peak while still in college? Most players probably don't peak until after they graduate. Especially physically.
