Baer was great

[uihawk82]

He re-found his moves, hit some jumpers, great follow on a miss for a put back.

His high energy is just fun to watch.

If he can offer another wing shooter to balance jok that will help. Uhl needs to really improve and Jones and wagner will be good.

But baer looked fluid and smooth

yeah, he did lokk pretty damn good. Hope this carries into next year, and I think it will.

BTW, not sure which thread I should post this in, but my hatred for the ACC just took a quantum leap forward. Now we have a full year of media slop over Dukie, etc ad nauseum.

Baer came in and stepped up his game when no one else was stepping up, now that the seniors are gone I suspect we will see more of this next year.

 

[Bigtenchamp]

I know people are down for next year... but I see some possibilities.

We need a point guard who is a threat - this is going to be the key.

Baer can score, uhl can score, wagner didn't try too much.

Point guard is a huge key for next year.

I'm excited for next year. May go 15-15, 20-10, whatever, but there should be effort and guys trying to make plays, instead of sitting back and hoping someone else makes plays.

I've ragged on Uhl from time to time about being a black hole, but at least he wants the ball and wants to take it to the hole. If he can figure out how to finish, we've got something!

I like what I've seen in Williams and I think Fleming will be able to knock down shots, from what I've heard. Excited for Cook to come in and hopefully some other freshman, redshirt or true freshman, will be a surprise contributor as well.

Of course, we know what we've got in the others that played this year. If they can take a step forward, I think we'll be back in the dance, or at least in the conversation.

 

[Seth53]

Honest question....where was he after the Minnesota game?

 

[Niemo]

Baer shows he wants to play. And he and Uhl weren't afraid to shoot. Get some quickness and some muscle to Bears game. Could turn out to be a young ryan bowen...or perhaps Jr koch.

 

[ibahawkeye]

Early in the year Baer was hitting the 3 ball... That went away as the season progressed.

If he can get that back consistently, we saw his ability to drive today, a little floater action and we know he will grab some offensive boards.

He he really could be scary good and could be a complete player. When he dribbles he's going somewhere with it which I like.

Baer needs to shoot a gazillion threes this offseason. If he can be a knock down three point shooter, then we really have something. Otherwise he's more a rotational/energy player in my view.

He reminds me of a poor man's Ryan Bowen. He doesn't have Bowen's athleticism, but Bowen didn't have the range on his jumper that Baer does. And yeah I am doing the 'white guy comparing him to another white guy' thing that I can't stand.

Right now he is a hustle/energy guy with a high basketball IQ, if he improves and expands his game he could be a 12/7 guy at some point in his Iowa career.

D*mn it Drew, you stole my thunder you hit enter right before I did.
