His freshman year, he actually looked like he could be something pretty special someday. Evan Turner said if May could improve his ball-handling, he could be a star. Somewhere along the way, things went off the rails and he lost confidence in himself. He's not been the same ever since.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

In our case a bad thing since our frosh streak was a product of all the transfers. I doubt May would have seen all those minutes had Kelly not transfered.

A bit of both really.

Matt - played on a down team, but was talented coming in. Deserved it.
May - played on an awful, awful team. Prob wouldn't have gotten the minutes on a decent team as a true frosh. Hasn't been the same since mid-soph year.
Basabe - potential is there. Maybe doesn't the minutes on a good team. Shown sparks as to why he was on the team.
White - would have been a steady 6th/7th man on a lot of teams. Deserved it.

As Stormin' said: "A bit of both really."

It really is more about playing time than anything else. For example, Draymond Green of Michigan State saw only 11.4 minutes per game as a freshman.

This year Green was the Big Ten POY & was the only unanimous selection on the all Big Ten teams.

Green did have a teammate make the all-freshman team. Delvon Roe was on the all freshman team with Gatens. However, he had to give up basketball this year because of bad knees.

Gatens, May, Basabe & White all got more playing time at Iowa than they would have gotten at programs like Michigan State or O$U for example.
