The depth at the 1 and 5 is most concerning. That's why getting Mike and Adam is a big priority,
That kinda goes without saying, especially when both projected starters are seniors and no proven depth behind them, other than Marble. The PG position is the most concerning because there is no true backup, although I feel Marble will be better than adequate. The C position has no experience period, Archie has not played enough to show anything and he is injury prone, Olaseni is intriguing because of his athleticism, if he can contribute first off the bench at that spot Iowa will be okay there. We all know that Brommer will get into foul trouble, the question is will it be every game, or can he play more relaxed and not in so much of a hurry to prove himself each time he touches the ball.
The C position heading into the next year isn't as big a concern for me then, as it is today. Olaseni will have a year and depending on what website you follow, Meyer is listed as a C and is 6-10 and 225, if he gains about 10 more pounds and get stronger over the next 18 months, then he will be fine to play that position. It would be great to add Woodbury as Meyer can play the 4/5 and put a big lineup on the floor with White at 6-9 playing the 3 spot with Marble/Oglesby at the 2 spot and hopefully, Gesell at the PG. Adding Woodbury will allow for a lot of flexability with different combinations. McCabe can play the 3/4 as well, Iowa's frontcourt could put a lot of different combinations on the floor and actually matchup or force other teams to matchup to thier lineup, rather than Iowa having the opponent dictate matchups.
The PG spot looking at the following season, is nightmarish right now. I don't think it will be out of the question to bring in maybe three guys that can play there. Ideally, it would be nice to see Iowa bring in one pure PG, weather it be a JUCO player or a freshman, then players like Gesell and maybe a Hornbeak that can play both spots effectively. With the amount of scholarships open, Iowa can afford to bring in 4 more players to go with Meyer and if one is Woodbury, I think the others will be guards with versatility.
I see Wesley Staten only has one official scholarship offer, unless what I am seeing isn't correct, is Iowa looking at this kid and if not, anyone know why?
