Story: Bakari Evelyn Not Concerned w/ Competing Against Connor McCaffery
- Thread starter RobHowe
- Start date
Hopfully, Evelyn comes to Iowa next year. They should be a fun team to watch. I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do with the two 6 ft 11 or 7 ft guys they will have down low next year. Toussaint should have a lot of fun too.

I consider JW a shooting guard. He can play the 2 or the 3, and if I had to bet my own pennies, I bet he slides to the starting 2 position next year.....

Two thoughts.
1) While this guy may not be a program changer, this is damn near a must get for Fran. He provides depth in the exact places we need it. If this guy can come in and provide 15 quality minutes off the bench, he is worth the scholly. With him, we would have a legit 10-man rotation that is relatively balanced.
2) Trading him for Moss is a tough one. Moss is a better talent it appears. But, the optimistic side of me hopes that Moss moving on may allow Iowa to take a step forward. We have been chasing consistent scoring from the 2 position ever since Jok left. For whatever reason, Moss never provided that. I am hoping that a combination of JW, Frederick, and this young man can provide more productivity for the wing.

If Elmer had shot like that in the woods he would have made quick work of Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny.No question

Not just skying like Jordan (tongue hanging out no less). My favorite part is hanging his elbow on the rim like Vince Carter.

Alright Alright Alright
I somehow didn't notice that you had found Elmer before me
We certainly could use this guy
Fighting with other mid-level programs for a declining player from Valparaiso. Sounds like a contract extension bullet.

To be fair, this became a more dire situation when it was announced that Bohannon would have a potential season ending surgery. We need an experienced body in that backcourt and most grad transfers have already been spoken for. Fran can no longer be a chooser, he has to be a beggar. Wiescamp isn't quick enough to guard twos and the jury will be out on CJ until we see him in live game action.
Concur mostly but I think Wieskamp can cover two guards.
If Wieskamp is quick enough to guard 3s, he's quick enough to guard most 2s. There is virtually no difference between the two on most teams.

I'd suggest Fran should have been on it earlier, period. If the loss of one player blows up your team, you're clearly too thin at that position. (Something that's been discussed ad nauseam)
