Joe will not redshirt and he will start his first game. I don't think you realize how good he is.
You are saying Joe is going to beat out and, essentially, bench Moss, right? I completely disagree with that. Hey, I understand how good he is. But I also understand he's 6'5" and a hundred and nothing lbs.
Joe is a top 50 player and will start from day one. Moss can move to the 3 or go to the bench but Joe will start from day one, take it to the bank.
if you say so. i disagree and Moss is NOT a 3.
He started at the 3 last year while Jok was on the Award list for best 2 guard in the country.
I concur. Weiskamp is an elite level player.Moss would have to have a Marble type improvement from last year to next year to be better than freshmen Weiscamp. It's possible, but I'm on record that Joe starts over Moss by conference play next year.
could be. I'm just saying that he isn't likely to beat out a RS JR in Moss. So, do with Joe what he did with Moss and Jok. keep the pipeline going.
A couple of things here in my humble opinion.
Joe will be one of the top 5/6 players on the team next year, so there would be absolutely no reason to redshirt him.
Whether he starts or comes off the bench isn’t the biggest thing in the world, and Moss is more than capable of playing the 3.
Did you guys know that Sam Dekker came off the bench for UW his Freshman year? He was a top 20 player, and that was not the best Wisconsin team there’s been in recent years.
I don’t think it is unimaginable for Fran to bring Joe off the bench his freshman year. You’d in essence be starting him over Baer (5th year on campus), or Moss (4th year on campus). Nunge also could be a factor.
Jok didn't redshirt. Moss only took a redshirt year because he spent the previous summer getting his scholastics in order. Weiskamp will not redshirt. You don't redshirt the highest ranked player you've ever recruited, at Iowa anyway.
I wonder who the couple of guys that won't play much this year are.
Moss would have to have a Marble type improvement from last year to next year to be better than freshmen Weiscamp. It's possible, but I'm on record that Joe starts over Moss by conference play next year.
I’m not sure why I’m getting into this with you because I suspect it is another troll, but why do you maintain that Moss was the “3” last year? Moss is shorter, faster, and quicker than Jok. He would often match up with the quickest guard on the opposing team. Jok had more strength and would often guard bigger stronger players.Agree with this. Moss really hasn't done anything to this point to lock him into a starting spot for the future. He played the 3 last year and he can play the 3 next year if he's earned it to make room for Joe in the starting lineup.
Look at the box score from the game the other night. It is just not possible to get that many guys minutes. Moss was out with an injury and Baer barely played and Fran still had a tough time getting guys minutes.
I hope it won’t cost us a winnable game early in the season. It’s going to be a tough decision (likely benching a senior), but that’s why they pay Fran the big bucks.
