6/30 PTL Stats

Looking back at this, the real news is Meyer finding a pulse. We need him to get beyond the Brommer track by his sophomore season. He doesn't have to be all-B1G, but he will need to provide strong bench minutes without a massive drop-off from the guy he is replacing.

While it is impossible to make a direct one-to-one translation from PTL to NCAA, there has never been a player who failed to pretty much dominate PTL who then was an effective B1G player.

Meyer is a guy that just has time to work on his game. I don't expect to see a whole lot of minutes for him until Basabe/McCabe are gone and I don't see that as a bad thing at all.

From what I read about him in HS, he seems to be a perimeter guy that does play hard and will put effort in on the boards. Now, just continue to develop and I could see a nice high/low game with him and Woodbury in a couple of years, especially after White graduates.

Looking at what I have seen in highlights from Uthoff, this same scenario will not be all bad for Meyer, gives him time to practice against good player and also play as hard as he can against good players in practice and just get better at the same time. The longer he doesn't have to play a big role, the more he can prepare himself against Iowa's better players at the moment. Going full speed all the time in practice will translate into going full speed all the time in games.

Kyle has plenty of time to develop and get himself ready for a big role for Iowa, something Brommer never was afforded. That isn't to say I think Brommer would have ever been all world.

I think he will be more then just a 3 point shooter. But maybe not as a freshman which is what we are talking about so point taken.

But I have a feeling he will end up more of a slasher then Marble.

There was an article written on Jok about three years ago saying he would have a bigger impact on college than Harrison Barnes, I get that was before his injuries, but I really believe he will be Iowa's most athletic and efficient player in his freshman season. He can bring the whole package to the table, but I think like GR3, his numbers will drop once he hits conference play, but still be a heck of a player. He looks composed at all times and again, I think it directly relates to him feeling he has something to prove every time he steps on the floor.

ST .. .. I like what you wrote. We don't need Kyle this year. In fact, I doubt he'll get much more than 5 mpg this year. Is that a bad thing? NO .. he's going to be a key contributor down the road. But for now, there just aren't the minutes available.

I guess we'll see. It's nice to know that we don't have to count on a FR putting up double figures. That hasn't been the case in a looooonnngg time.
