Outstanding.....

MindBoggling even.....

Throw Melsohn and White into the mix and we might just have a potentially unstoppable team in the paint and in transition.....

 

[FalseMirage]

The program is in good hands and the future is bright! Let's get March Madness again!

Calling Meyer a diamond in the rough is silly. Kid plays on one of the best AAU teams in the nation and has received plenty of attention.

When he committed to Iowa he only had one or two offers...I think thats what the OP was referring to. So under the radar, diamond in the rough, late bloomer. Whatever you want to say

 

[herbyhawk]

not so much a diamond in the rough, just he was ignored during summer evals due to a early commitment, he blew up this summer but was over shadowed by playing with Shaq Goodwin, some people feel he is one of the top players in Georgia
either way he is great pickup for Iowa

It sounds mid-bottling. Like when your mind is caught in a bottle.

 

[herbyhawk]

you could see a lineup of this @ some point on the floor
Gessel 6'2@ pt
Oglesby 6'5@ SG
White 6'8@ SF
Meyer 6'10@pf
Woodbury 7'1@ center

rather tall lineup

 

[CAARHawk]

Yeah, Fran just got in on him early. But it wasn't really DITR. He would have had a lot of offers if he waited. Kind of like White.

 

[TritonHawkeye]

I agree with caar...Iowa was fortunate to be on him early.

The 5 guys Iowa has coming in next season has me very excited. It has all the makings of one of the best classes for the Hawks in a long time.

 

[BigD]

Does this mean the trend of 6'6" post player for Iowa is a thing of the past? Hell YES

"Twin Towers???" What about THREE Towers. Oleseni might have something to say about the twin towers of Woodbury and Meyer. But it is definitely exciting to see some quality big men to work with.

 

[GoldKey]

let's just go ahead and say it - we're back!

 

[TheNebraskaHawk]

10 blocks...WOW! That game would have been fun to watch....

 

[PalmettoHawkFan]

Like I mentioned this summer after seeing him in some AAU games --

he reminded me of Bowen and Street. we're going to really like him as a Hawk.

 

[NewMexHawk]

7'1" center, 6'10'' forward, 6'8" forward makes for a big lineup, one that will rebound like crazy to get the fastbreak going...

Iowa is going to be a fun team to watch in the very near future.

Let's just go ahead and say THIS...barring injuries/transfers, in 2 years we will be one of the 2 best teams in the Big Ten.

 

[JHHawk]

Great numbers. I would like to see the opposition before getting too excited,tho. If he is blocking the shots of a bunch of 6 fters,well, it does make a diff.
But,I do like his stat-sheet stuffer numbers.

Still, not sure if a lineup of Gesell,Oglesby,White,Meyer and Woody would be quick enough to keep up with the speed and quickness of teams like Illini,IU,MSU,Mich,and OSU.
