Eastern Shore was without their leading scorer due to illness I believe which certainly did not help their cause. Gesell started at the point and Marble moved over to the off-guard as Fran wanted to get Mike going and also placed an emphasis on getting the ball up the floor quicker especially...

He actually went 1 of 3 by my count draining 1-2 from left wing and missing a deep three from the right wing but they all looked as though they had good rotation and he was much better at going straight up.

Hard to get a solid read based on tonight's format as the coaches essentially let the guys just have fun but here's my initial thoughts. Uthoff - quick release and has a nice step back jumper but needs to be careful he doesn't fade away too much. Jok - relatively quiet when you consider the...

After his first dunk he hung on the rim a by his elbow. It was definitely more pick-up ball than anything else but happy to see all three big men (Gabe/Adam/Kyle) appear to have spent some time working on their ball handling and extending their range. Gabe is developing that 5-8ft jumper...

Perhaps UberHawk you should do a bit of research yourself before you stereotype folks based on race or the position they happen to play. I'm feeling generous so I've included results from the past few yrs at the Drake Relays just to save a bit of time. A generally accepted formula used by...

In the announcement video he mentions the plan is to play him at the 3 spot with perhaps some time at the 4 which just continues to give Fran tons of options. I have not seen him play in person but based on the few highlights he appears to be a slightly more polished version of former 3***...

Not sure the European trip had a lot to do with the decision as I don't think the Hawks would be heading over to Germany at any point during his college career, however, I'm nearly certain the overall experience that fellow European Gabe Olesani was able to provide him in terms of the family...

I think the biggest mistake of the day was selling the MSU (or any opposing offense for that matter) short. Our defensive line has made some nice strides and I credit Coach Morgan but at the end of the day there is still far too much to "fix" for the offense to then leave points on the field...

Jok spent quite a bit of time at the 3 while over in Europe and if I were to guess he will be fighting Uthoff for minutes at that spot at least initially but I can think of about 5 or 6 different lineups that "could" happen between start of practice and tourney time.

As many have suggested timing, accuracy and decision making are a much more tell-tale sign of success for a QB opposed to arm strength alone. I believe Jake showed a lot of poise and quality decision making overall considering it was his first real game action without a red jersey or vs an...

The greatest observation I have noted is the lack of half-time adjustments.

Anyone happen to ask why Lesun Daniels did not get a touch and why Bullock/Canzeri in the slot to create mismatches disappeared alongside our targets to the tight ends?

Do they mix in Leshun Daniels and Canzeri come 2nd half for even fresher legs?

Darius has worked extremely hard in the weight room and on the court since coming to IA and although he did not get a lot of minutes last season, he was one of the first in so I would not be surprised at all to see him ahead of Meyer on depth charts at this particular stage...especially if they...

I enjoyed watching him play and will be looking forward to hearing his insight.

One additional note for those who might be interested in a double-feature. The Men's & Women's BBall squads look to both have home games scheduled for Nov. 3rd & 10th so grab a hot dog or an ice-cream and plan to stay awhile.

No matter what the final record I can easily say I haven't been this stoked for an upcoming season in quite some time and you can rest assured I already have the home games blocked off on the calendar and my camera will be ready to catch the action :)

Looks as though our struggles from beyond the arc may not be completely over but I am wondering if the guys are feeling the grind between travel and packing in so many games. In a way I think this sort of game is just what the staff was looking for and also helps to keep the guys motivated as...

Best wishes to you and your wife. I just finished a 7 1/2 drive south to Branson where the in-laws retired to get away from the harsh winters. I certainly respect and admire any man willing to put his family first.

Something else to consider is that Fran and company may need to take a page from Ferentz as other programs realize his ability to spot rough diamonds so they begin poaching recruits.
