Marble Motovated by Beileins comments

I'd rather have Hardaway Jr also.

Marble is athletic compared to me, Hardaway Jr is just plain athletic.
 
Agreed, Idk if Hardaway Hop jr. will stay 4 years thou.

He will be there at least three years which is plenty of time as far as I am concerned. I could care less if a program has players that leave early for the NBA. It means you are finding good players and other good players like to play with good players. Also recruits like to play at programs that put players in the NBA.
 
I have been thinking about how Iowa hasn't had a player go off in a game versus his home state in a while. Marble (Michigan, MSU), White (OSU), Brommer (Minnesota), etc. Even went back to football, Prater (Nebraska). The one guy i remember was Luke Recker, aside from him i can't remember a player going off vs. his home state.
 
“I’m not about to make this a one-on-one battle. At the end of the day, I still want to win the game,â€￾ Marble said.


I hope this is the case. My biggest fear with RDM breaking out is that he will occasionally fall into that "loose canon" mode and press to produce too much, even though he's not bringing it that game. No way indicting him for OSU and MSU but I think these were games where this happened ...
OSU box = 1/8 (2nd most attempts, 15% of total), 2-a, 2-to;
MSU box = 4/15 (hands down most attempts, 24% of total), 1-a, 4-to;
Season = 66/159 (slightly less than 15% of total attempts) and exceptional a/to stats.

Here's to RDM getting back on track and focusing that "motivation" to get a nice home win tomorrow.
 
I want players who are motivated by winning basketball games. Not because of random stuff a coach says.
 
Would I get in trouble for saying I would rather have Hardaway too?

This is reaching for an article I think.
 
Well that has to be the worst bulletin board material of all time.

Yeah..lol. Not only did the Michigan coach say wonderful things about Marble, but no coach would take Marble of Hardaway...definately not bulletin board material...if there is such a thing.
 
“We were in a choice between Devyn Marble and Tim Hardaway and we made a choice with Tim, and obviously we wouldn’t have gone wrong with Devyn,â€￾ Beilein said Monday.

“Iowa and Michigan both won in that selection.â€￾

Weakest bulletin board material in the history of bulletin board material.
 
When Roy Marble played for the Magic City Snowbears I told Devyn (~3 years old) that he probably wouldn't be a Hawkeye, but that the Hawkeyes couldn't go wrong with him.. then his Father said... that is bulletin board material! Refused to sign my Hawkeye card... then changed his mind and signed it with the #24 (Snow Bears #) not the Hawkeye #23 just to irritate me. During the conversation he mentioned that he thought it was great that they were doing a Russ Millard poster day in LaCrosse WI for the Bobcats, and that the Hawkeyes would have won it all if it wasn't for the suspension of Ray. Then they lost to the Rapid City Thrillers and I went home.

Note: Kingsbury and Millard both played for the LaCrosse Bobcats at the time.

This isn't really news... but neither is that article!
