Fans: Adam will require time and patience

Bump, just cause I miss stormin.

RIP, Stormin. If you go to like page 492 or 493 on the hoops forum, there are a bunch of posts from when Woodbury committed. Gotta admit I'm pretty surprised by how crappy the teams were during his tenure, at least in March. If I'm not mistaken, we've won a single Big Ten Tournament game and 2 NCAA games against lower seeds and gotten blown out by decent teams in the NCAA. I'm actually kinda sad looking back at how excited we all were.

I don't think Reiner equates to Woodbury at all. Alford was HORRIBLE at coaching big men or "bigs" as he always said.

There were times I harshly criticized Woody out of frustration that he missed a(nother) bunny rather than tearing the rim down. Over time, it was just unfair to keep hounding him. You can't blame him for being profoundly challenged in both athleticism and post position skills - he is what he is ...

Unfortunately, he is what he was when he came ... and in that regard, nothing has changed since the Alford years.

Well, Fran did say it would take time for Woodbury to develop. He clearly meant it would take more than 4 years.

Here's what four years of development gets ya in a nationally televised game versus a real opponent.

And failed to mention he has almost zero ability to teach position skills to 4's and 5's, overlooks opportunities to exploit size advantages, has no inside - out strategy in his game planning arsenal and considers the post to be nothing more than (the only) rebounder and a disruptive defensive presence.
 
It's over guys, he has played his last game as a Hawkeye. You all should be happy, regurgitating this crap is stupid.
