Amarion Nimmers Practice Highlights are IMPRESSIVE. On Aug 3, enters Transfer Portal

Franisdaman said:
interesting; this is the first time I have heard that Nimmers played zero defense in high school.

granted they were just the highlights and we didn't see the lowlights, but weren't you at least a little impressed in what you saw in his highlights posted in the original post?

Yes, certainly see some potential in Amarion. His athleticism alone gives him a chance.

Have also stated that I could see him carving out a niche, in a system like Iowa's, as a gunner off the bench, a year or so down the road.

I don't know anything more than anyone else. Just trying to connect the dots.

There has to be a reason why a country full of well paid coaches hasn't offered this kid. Say he actually doesn't play D, and actually doesn't have a good PG feel/skill set. Then, if he happens to lack any one of team play, work ethic, attitude; I think you have your story.

As to his situation at Iowa; who knows? You'd have to think playing time/scholarship are at the top of the list.

This is starting to feel like Amarion wants to be shopped for while retaining the chance to stay at Iowa. It's certainly late in the game.

We'll see, I guess. Was Amarion invited to Europe?

Did he possibly break a rule and was left off?

If Amarion wasn't invited, was it because of performance, positional traveling numbers, or possibly character issues?

Does he get along with Brock? I'm sure they've seen a lot of each other over the years.

Maybe he knows Diggs is commiting soon and he's calculating the numbers game?

Who knows at this point?

I wish Amarion well either way.

And I think Iowa is fine either way

Did anyone ever actually verify that Nimmers had been pulled from the online roster? I mean, it's possible that @Eliot Clough looked at the wrong thing and/or overlooked something. (Overall, I think @Eliot Clough does a good job, and I've been enjoying his podcasts, so I'm not trying to rip on him. But we are all capable of mistakes.)

That screen shot yesterday of the official roster from @Eliot Clough was taken around 3:30 pm CT. Nimmers' name had clearly been removed by a UI administrator. Then, last night, his name was back on the roster.

And now? His name is gone again. Not sure why there has been all this back and forth; Maybe Eliot knows?

@Eliot Clough , any idea why Nimmers was taken off the official roster at 3:30 pm CT on Aug 3rd, was put back on the official roster sometime before 10:30 pm CT on Aug 3, and then taken off the official roster sometime today, Aug 4th?

I’m unsure.

During my time covering UNI, they’d have football players enter the portal before the season was over and leave them online because of technical NCAA stuff (or at least that’s what I was told).

To take him off again is odd. Maybe some mishaps on the backend of the site or a communication thing internally. Wouldn’t read into it too much.

A walkon that in many ways looked better, in that Iowa practice video, than our scholarship athletes. At the very least, brought something different to the table

Unfortunately we fans only got to see the good. The coaches got to see the whole picture and for whatever the reason or reasons Fran didn't put him on scholarship. I hope he finds what he's looking for.

That's kind of been my assumption about him that he probably takes a lot of bad shots and doesn't have much feel for the game.

That stuff is more instinctual than anything and hard to change.

unfortunately, assuming is all we can do when it comes to what went down & what led to his decision

When or if other coaches start calling Fran to ask about the kid it will be interesting if he steers he in the right direction or ruins his dreams of playing college basketball. Fran is the key to Nimmers future.

Yeah, I think with Bowen & Harding (and sometimes Perk) at PG, we are in good shape.

Have you heard anything on where he might land?

That's a good point. If he thought it through, I think he could have had an honest conversation with Fran and said he ideally wanted (1) more playing time and (2) financial aid in form of a scholarship. They could have discussed that if he had no offers that he would be welcomed back. I think Fran would understand that, but who knows. It's just weird timing, right before the entire team heads overseas.

Pretty sure the other walk ons are heading to Europe.

If Fran was upset with how it went down (the timing right before the Europe trip, etc), Fran has a way of letting "us" know. We saw an example of this in how Fran responded with CJ Fredrick's surprise departure.

Therefore, I can see why he'd have an administrator take Nimmers name off the online roster immediately. But, I agree with you; to later in the day add him back and then the next day remove him again was just really odd.

Any way...all of the walk ons (Carter Kingsbury, Luc Laketa and Dante Eldridge) are heading to Europe, correct?

Any idea if the 3 games will be streamed?

Thanks for your insight & feedback.

Eldridge is not going, but the other walk-on's are. Tom said Dante is no longer on the roster.

Don't expect video. We'll probably get highlights and a box score.

Regarding tuition costs - In 1967-68 it cost me around $1000 for the year. Another $1000 for off campus living expenses. I graduated and got a job for $7000 a year. So per the link above, in state tuition plus board and room and extras is around $29000. To compare with what I got, they would need $100,000 or so. There are a few types of jobs that may pay that but many more that pay nearer $40,000 to 50,000. Cost of education has gotten way out of hand. Kids don't need a dorm room with 4 bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room with tv. But everyone now thinks less would be living in poverty! LOL

I noticed Eldridge's name was not on the official
roster but I never saw an official announcement. Did you?
 
I had no idea Dante was no longer on the team until a couple of days ago when Tom posted it.

But do you know of any schools that have an opening right now for him other than Nebraska? And then, of course, that school willl have to decide what Fran would not do and put him on scholarship
Click to expand...
There's lots of teams out there that have openings. 8/14 Big Ten schools currently have an open scholarship going into the season. Nebraska wasn't even full before the Ulis stuff (which I assume they can't kick him off scholarship while an investigation is pending).
And that's just looking at the Big Ten. I am assuming the same is true for a lot of mid-major and low major programs as well.

Posted by Mike Zierath:

@Franisdaman, I feel like you shouldn't worry all that much about duplicate threads or who started what topic of conversation 10 months ago and who didn't. Quit wasting my, Tom and Blairs time with your petty complaints. You obviously haven't seen the message I sent you earlier today, even though you are on here 24/7, have over 54,000 posts and can't seem to not keep your thoughts and comments out of other threads. Do not send in another report about someone starting a duplicate thread because you have already started the same thread. Got it?

And, yes, I did put this here, in public, because I know you will see it. Grow the hell up and stop acting like a 3 year old!

I asked Tyler the troll for the link to this supposed post by Mike. What I got? Silence.

Now I will ask this troll for the same thing.

Let me guess; there isn't one.

I can type up a lie, too, and copy and paste it into several threads. But I won't; I don't do things like what you're doing.

Do you have anything of value to post? Or is this all you have to offer? Don't answer; you've already answered.

Wow. You realize 42,000 people kill themselves each year in the United State, correct?

So, why do you use mental illness as a weapon on these forums? This is not the first time you have done this, either.

You could very well be mentally ill but I don't know you, I don't care to know people like you, and I am never going to use the mental illness crisis that we have in this country as a weapon against you.

You are a real piece of shit. But I think you know that.

You once accused someone of having a mental disorder simply because they started a 2nd thread on a topic.

"NorthDSMHawk knew about this thread (because the topic has been discussed the last 2 days) yet for some reason he started an unnecessary, duplicate thread. It makes no sense. What mental disorder do you think he has?"
