Good, interesting article on how this year's Drake Bulldog roster qas put together. I see they just won their 20th game yesterday. They'd have to win their conference tourney to make The Dance but an NIT bid might be realistic.
But for this post I want to focus on the Brady Ellingsen portion of the article. I'm guessing Brady is really happy with the move. He's starting, averaging 11 ppg and playing a key role in the Drake resurgence. The article says he wanted more minutes as a reason for leaving Iowa that's what he got.
Matt Gatens is Director of Basketball Operatoins.
It got me to wondering which current Hawks might be a candidate for the same role at Drake for next year?
- Isiaih Moss, he could go to Drake and possibly be a star if he could be consistent. I don't really see this, I see him going to pro rout to make some money and see how far he can take his game. G League, maybe.
- Maishe Dailey, assuming he's graduating in three years like most seem to these days, Maishe might be a good candiate. he's not going to get many minutes on the court next year and he could end his college career with a move like this.
- Is Cordell Pemslon track to graduate in 3 years? If so, he might want to consider this although his black and gold blood seems to run pretty deep. But think about it, is he really going to come back next year and make a significant impact? I doubt it. He'll be fighting Garza, Kriener, Nunge, Wieskamp, Patrick McCaffrey (am I forgetting anyone) for minutes in the front court and if he's not scoring much, his playing time might be tough to get.He could play a more integral role at Drake.
Anybody else?
