Don’t forget Ogundele. 👍🏼😉
good catch; thank you

Also kind of a tricky thing to remember is that all 4 guys listed as seniors here + Ogundele would all still have their extra COVID year of eligibility remaining. So in theory, if Fran fills all of his scholarships for the '23 class you could have no spots for any '24 recruits (with the new transfer rule + Kris' NBA hopes this is unlikely).
Try MaxPreps.com and do a search for him or his high school. His stats might be there.Really excited about Nimmers based on what I've seen on film. He does mostly finish right handed and prefers that finish, but his left hand dribble isn't bad. So I think it's less about his left hand dribble and more about his left hand FINISH where he has a bias. Again, off limited film.
Anyone remembering Andre Woolridge knew that he was strongly biased to one side, but you still couldn't stop him from getting where he wanted to go. Nimmers isn't that strong, but he's pretty bouncy and I like his outside shooting stroke. He often has staggered feet on the release but it almost helps him get it off quicker because he's not caught trying to square them up.
It's too bad his school is in Illinois because I can't find his season stats on varsitybound (or anywhere else) to check his FT and 3PT%. Anyone in Illinois know if that is available somewhere?
I also believe Nimmers is gonna be hard to keep off the court. Ball security will be his key to playing time.Amarion is another piece to the puzzle that a lot of posters aren't considering. He might be that surprise off-the-bench burst of energy on both ends that helps Iowa get over the hump this year. Between him, Davonte and Josh D, Iowa has some unknowns that could really make foe a special year.
At some point in the season I think Hawks will need some production from Josh, Amarion, or both.Amarion is another piece to the puzzle that a lot of posters aren't considering.

LOL - I have a friend who's step-grandson is named Davonte. My bad.I also believe Nimmers is gonna be hard to keep off the court. Ball security will be his key to playing time.
Dasante not Davonte.... I actually had to pause for a moment and think. Did I miss something?
Yeah I checked but unfortunately their school didn’t put full season stats. Same for Harding. Would think the HS would put stats somewhere for fans ...Try MaxPreps.com and do a search for him or his high school. His stats might be there.
Riley and Josh O in there together
Some states, like Colorado, require coaches to input stats or else their players are not eligible for post season honors. Other states obviously do not require it. Wish they did because as a fan it helps us see how well a player is doing.Yeah I checked but unfortunately their school didn’t put full season stats. Same for Harding.

Wes Washpun 2.0?
Well I'm not super familiar with AN but my guess is if you're that athletic and walking on at Iowa you have a few holes in your game.Wes couldn't shoot and no idea if this guy can either.
Wes turned down a scholarship offer from Iowa, right?Wes could really defend. Was very competitive and was a winner.
In the small amount of footage I've seen of Nimmers, it's hard to put less effort into D. Supposedly he started defending last season under a new coach. Hopefully that's true and he matures in that area.
Definitely some nice athleticism like Wes
We did offer, but IIRC it was late. I think Fran was also interested upon his last transfer. IMO he developed enough offense that he would have been a good player for us as an upperclassman.Wes turned down a scholarship offer from Iowa, right?

Nimmers has hops.... but not Wes hops. He was in rare company vertical wise.Wes Washpun 2.0?
When he transferred from Tennessee?Wes was a late qualifier
Not the point. He was no longer a late qualifier at that point, and that's when McC offered him.He did nothing there
I hope he's a better shooter!I am wondering if Nimmers might be kind of a guard version of Doug Thomas.
How many of his games have you been to?I'd love to see Amarion and Dasante on the court together. Both are really athletic and mature ball players. Just watching Amarion's games, it's easy to see, he's going to be really good.
When will he be listed on the roster?
He's on it now. Good find!![]()
I've just watched 3 of his tournament games, as well as others on You Tube. I don't like watching highlights, but I do enjoy watching games with announcers calling the games. I'm impressed with the level of competition. Don't think he's at Bowens level yet, but he's tough.How many of his games have you been to?
