Jok should be the leading scorer, and I believe he should finish what he started. I think Williams, Moss, Wagner and Cook will be very consistent and pleasant surprises. Jones and Ellingson.....? Uhl and Baer will be very consistent and a little bit better as he will have more of a role...
Porter's list is now down to Missouri, Stanford, Indiana, UCLA, Syracuse, Washington, Virginia, Kansas, Duke and, yours truly, Kentucky. http://www.aseaofblue.com/2015/8/5/9105343/michael-porter-jr-cuts-list-kentucky-wildcats
From Hawk central article, “It’s going to be a really different experience for me next year,†McCaffery said, “when I look out there and those guys aren’t here.â€
Agreed, look at what Mr. Davis did when Bruce Pearl was by his side. I believe I looked it up once but when Pearl left the staff Iowa did a little worse in those later years.
I disagree they choked. The seniors of January were not the seniors of February. They lost what mental toughness the had. The facial demeaner changed and you saw the desire to win dropped drastically. Whatever is causing this needs to be diagnosed and fixed. Baer showed he's aleader. I...
The one I like was when a Temple player was called for a foul, and a ref and the player had a close up on camera and the ref looked like he was apologizing to the Temple player. A little too much closeness between the 2 of them for the ref to seem like he was unbiased.
Uthoff and Jok have to play like Uthoff and Jok can. That should happen. The unknown factors are Gessell, Clemmons and Woodbury. They have to play almost mistake free. They must and I repeat must make their layups. I would imagine at least 6 to 10 layups or put backups right under the...
I could believe in part teams figuring out Iowa. But no way they should have lost to PennState and I will even say Wisconsin at home. Something mental going on.
What ever it is it's a real thing, because this skid looks almost identical to the one 2 years ago. I believe it could be mental and I also believe it involves stamina. Both hit in February. Fran should in this off season check with a nutritionist etc. regarding the effects on a body. I...
I would like to know if by the end of a season lean is just fatigued. Would more muscle on players help to combat fatigue. It's obvious Fran likes thinner players but it may not work in the BIG. I would look at diet and sleep issues also.
This is what I think also. I also think the same way Gessell and Clemmons are used this year will be how Williams and Jok will be used next year. Jok will be used to help break in Williams at the point. They will be "sharing" PG duties at least to start the season.
I agree with this and I think Brian returned to Iowa City to raise a family in a safer, more secure area. I also believe he came back to eventually take over and create a smoother transition when the time comes.
