You didn’t answer the question. There are many supposedly Power 5-caliber players who go to P5 schools and end as journeymen or bench-warmers. In your opinion, will Wieskamp be a difference-maker — a game-changer — for Iowa basketball?

Minor details... haNo way Ricky would have remained eligible. He was barely eligible to play at North.
Wieskamp is about the same size as Jok was when he arrived at Iowa. He will never quite be the shooter Jok was but he's a better athlete and can do more than PJ. I'd say if he's better than Pete, we're in good shape.
Let's at least give CJ Fredrick a chance before we show bias and just say he's another Ogelsby or Ellingson. It's just lazy to state something like that.
I'd sign up for that in a heartbeat. He was really good. How is JWs defense? I've only seen highlights of him on O. If he can D up at all he'll play a ton right away. Might play a lot right away regardlessmy view of JW is that he could be an Adam Haluska type. That's a really high bar for those who remember AH. He had an outstanding SR and lead or almost lead the B1G in scoring. 20+ ppg.

That's kinda what I figured.... He's played against some good kids in AAU ball I would think was curious from those that may have seen him play against kids of similar skill sets there. Has he played at Iowa's summer deal in North Liberty? (Not that D is played there either I guess)Hard to tell his on ball defense based on the competition, but his effort and his off ball defense looks like a more athletic Baer from last year.
His film reminds me of Fleming's coming out of high school but Fleming was a lot more athletic.
How many of those six got to play around 20 minutes a game?????
If Weiskamp doesn't run Moss to the bench...I will be disappointed...and surprised...
Playing on a poor team and fighting double teams...seasoned him I would guess...and shoots 85% from the FT line...also a sign of talent.
Chemistry will be important...and please...please...please...team...learn to love defense...
Unfortunately the roster is full of 2/3s, JW will probably contribute offensively and play major minutes by the end of next season. The Hawkeyes' problem hasn't been the offense, it's the defense. After watching his defense against the West High Trojans, does anyone really think his presence will make our defense better against P5 teams?

Iowa's roster is full of 2's and 3's? Not good enough ones, it was the main contributor to this season. Honestly hadn't heard that take before.
If that's the case then he won't play much and will probably end up transferring. But then I can't say I agree with your assessment.

Fran needs difference makers, players who can run the fast break, drive to the rim, stop penetration in the lane, disrupt the attack, not be afraid to jump out to the perimeter or bang down low.
Based on their highlight videos, I’m not convinced these guys are that.
We shall see.
