I am hopeful for Iowa surprising this year in BB...
Reason...lots of upside in the lineup...
JB - Great season but can be better with more talent available to him. He isn't elite but is a gamer!
Moss - in some ways an unknown but more minutes and opportunities can make him a star. He isn't afraid to shoot or fail..another gamer.
Pemsl - With the weight loss and better health I look for upside in him. Most gifted "under the basket" guy Iowa has had in a long time.
Cook - Talk is he has taken it to a new level which would make sense. By his own admission felt a bit lost out there last year.
Wagner - Always have liked his toughness...with more talent around him he has upside for sure. Doesn't need to score to be content...a valuable asset.
Kriener - I have liked him from the get-go...nice mid range shots...unafraid to take "the shot"...as he gets more lean he could really surprise.
Baer - Love him but not sure how much upside he has...has been very efficient already.
Ellingson - role player, intelligent...don't see much upside. If he can make some shots...big +
Uhl - Enigma...needs to figure it out or will be watching a lot.
Williams - he could break out...if he does, what a gift that would be...another enigma...seems to be not a PG or SG...
Garza...although an unknown with no Iowa history...if he is better than advertised, which many think...he could be the upside linchpin of the entire season. A center with post moves? Wow...imagine that!
Bottom line...lots of players with upside...does the coach have some upside to throw into the pot?
