The scrambling jamming Hawks

Gonna be a fun year

 

[Fryowa]

Run BMC going total hype beast mode on the sideline firing the crowd up. I like it

 

[thedukeofearl]

WTF? I thought Hausen was a projected starter, a key cog.

He gonna be a solid cog

… I said I know it's only rock 'n' roll but I like it
I know it's only rock 'n' roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely?

Jirak got a little AC Earl vibe??

How in the hell does Stirtz have 15 points when he basically sets others up like a magician? Math: 1/2 way to 30. Zero bench time.

I think he’s leaning on known to start the year, surprised he came in so late. New sheriff in town, whole new game now

Folgueiras didn’t start either. I’m sure that changes in a couple weeks against Xavier…but, yeah, definitely a new sheriff in town.

Stirtz reminds me of Gronowski. You can’t afford to get him hurt, so get him out of there in blowouts. No 2-4 week twisted ankle bullshit.

It’s been a fun game to watch, but plenty of things to work on. Crazy seeing so many new players. Good start to the season

Where is Trey Thompson? Injured?

I suspect he and Peyton may redshirt

Not sure he’ll be a big fan of reclassifying to redshirt.

 

[Hawke]

Good crowd or a bunch of empty seats? Can’t tell.

I went to the game, would say it was slightly under half capacity.

 

[Hawke]

I suspect he and Peyton may redshirt

He was listed as a redshirt

 

[Hawke]

I’ve never seen a player as unselfish as Stirtz. Lost count of how many no look passes he made. I was seriously impressed with his game.

 

[HawkeyeHypnosis]

Pretty impressed with what I saw. I’m not sure exactly how good Robert Morris is this year. I know they have had some real good years in the past. Defense was definitely a big jump from what we’ve seen.

Nothing about redshirt:

The four-star freshman did not play in the opener, which McCollum chalked up to a coach’s decision. But the Iowa head coach also handed out quite the praise to the 17-year-old who reclassified to start college early.

“Trey’s good,” McCollum said. “I would be surprised if he’s not an All-Big Ten player by the time it’s all said and done. Trey’s really good. Anytime you come in, it’s just hard to catch up to the defense. And he’s getting there. He’s good offensively, he’s fantastic. Energy’s through the roof. Trey’s good. I’m not worried about him. You just kind of have to see it progress and it takes some time.”

Thanks for the info! It will be interesting to see how the next few games progress, if he still hasn't seen the court by game 4 then I suspect it is something on the table.
