Predictions: What will, what won't.

I didn't say all of them would. I said all of them are capable of averaging 10. You can take out Oglesby if you want, but I feel pretty good with that list.

So, that means that 5 out of my original list of 7 would have to average more than 10 ppg. I don't think this would be impossible:

Marble: 14.7 ppg
White: 13.9 ppg
Gesell: 12.1 ppg
McCabe: 10.3 ppg
Basabe: 10.1 ppg

Maybe not likely, but not so bad as an "Ummm, yeah...no."

Could not resist. But it is highly unlikely Iowa will have 5 players averaging double digit points. The past 2 seasons Iowa has only had 3 averaging more than 10 ppg. Basabe averaged 11 points per game his freshman year but I do not think he will get 31 minutes per game like he did that season.

I think Marble will carry the scoring load this season and will be over 15 ppg, I think White will be double digits in points, and possibly Gesell. I do not think anyone else on the team will get enough minutes per game in order to average double digit points. This team finally has talented depth so you may see the rest of the scoring spread out.
 


Will: Gesell at the point.
Wont: Fran picking up bench and slamming it down on floor.

Yah I am in a giddy mood with basketball season starting up, the election winding down, and football season almost over...... Thank GOD!!!
 


All right, I'm going to make it simple for you folks. My initial post was that we wouldn't have a 15 pt scorer, 30 min mpg or a 7 rpg guy. The "five guys over ten points" was just a hypothetical off the top of my head. Here's what I had in mind with my initial post:

Roy Dev: 14.1 ppg, 3.8 rbs, 28 mpg
Aaron White: 13.9 ppg, 6.4 rbs, 26 mpg
Mike Gesell: 12.6 ppg, 2.1 rbs, 29 mpg
Melsahn Basabe: 9.0 ppg, 5.5 rbs, 23 mpg
Zach McCabe: 8.6 ppg, 4.2 rbs, 22 mpg
Eric May: 7.7 ppg, 3.4 rbs, 18 mpg
Josh Oglesby: 4.6 ppg, 2.0 rbs, 15 mpg
Adam Woodbury: 3.4 ppg, 4.7 rbs, 15 mpg
Gabe Olaseni: 2.0 ppg, 3.0 rbs, 12 mpg
Anthony Clemmons: 1.8 ppg, .6 rbs, 8 mpg
Patrick Ingram: 1.2 ppg, 1.0 rbs, 4 mpg

I think you'll find that not only did I fulfill the requirements of my argument, but I was generous in my numbers: The PPG total out to 76, which would have put us 2nd in the Big Ten last year, and the RPG total to 36.7, which would have been good for 3rd.

Again, these numbers aren't a lock...but they are certainly a possibility.
 


this season will be interesting. based off sundays scrimmage/ game Iowa had 46 rebounds, with Gabe getting 14 minutes 6 pts and 6 rebounds, Woody 11 minutes 4 pts and 6 rebounds for a combined 25 minutes 10 pts and 12 rebounds those are stats Iwill take all season combined from the Center spot, and this team has the horses to get more rebounds and points than they did last year

They're a possibility on one hand, and they're completely pulled out of your butt on the other hand. If Gesell is playing the most minutes of any player on this team next year, Fran needs to be fired.
 


Well, of course I pulled them out of my butt. This thread starts out in big shiny letters (the things that make up words, little guy): P-r-e-d-i-c-t-i-o-n. That's weak sauce, Ghost.

Besides, your critique has nothing to do with my assertion. Take five minutes from Gessel and give them to Clemmons. It still doesn't effect the validity of my guesstimate.

Also...what?!?! Does Jim Beilein need to be fired because Trey Burke had the most minutes for Michigan last year?
