"Brock Harding is a Gym Rat."

[LukaDuka]

Anyone that believes that must have been born in the 2000's Ever heard of Ronnie Lester? Or Andre Woolridge? BJ Armstrong? Dean Oliver? Jeff Horner? Mike Gesell? Jordan Bohannon? I would rate all of them above Joe, who was a hard worker, but certainly not a great PG.

Don't forget Steve Carfino

It's not so much the hate of BH, but rather one large cheerleader that thinks he walks on water & thinks he's the best pg to ever play the game at Iowa. Need to knock that poster off his podium every so often.

He's a decent player, but he's not leading Iowa to a Final Four.

Yes it is. Brock before his time is up at Iowa will probably become the all-time leader at Iowa in assists. In my humble opinion, he is the best passer at PG that we have had under Fran as coach. He plays with a swagger, is hard-nosed, plays with heart, and is an exceptionally hard worker. Combined with Thelwell, I think that our PG's are going to be the best that we have had while under McCaffery. Brock is also a very good penetrator and can finish at the basket when he is not setting up Freeman or EVEN Mulvey for easy buckets.

Brock Reminds me of Aaron Craft from Ohio State with his grittiness and swagger although he is NOT the great defensive player that Craft was.

Don't we all have the same speech rights on this forum? You are making a direct appeal to social pressure to force someone off the site or into science? Mob rule? Over football?

Jordan Taylor....point guard at Wisconsin about 12 years ago....a relative newbie to BTN....

Has potential.

 

[Obviously Oblivious]

I think it’s very encouraging to see BH making really good progress in his development at the D1 level. He was certainly fire last night and I loved every minute of it.

Ask Joe T. & Ulis

Ulis was not very good. Come in.

Craft was allowed to mug, hold, push and grab.

WTF are you talking about? Of course everyone and anyone can post here & are entitled to their opinions. I'm just taking the other side of the debate for F's sake. There's no mob or forcing anyone off this site you freakin lunatic! I'd bet you only make left turns don't you?

Craft was at least 3 inches taller & probably 30lbs heavier. Also not as quick or good of a ball handler. He was a bully on defense & limited on offense.

You mean…like the Iowa State defense. 😳

The similarities that I see between Craft and Harding are their abilities to control the floor offensively and defensively with their passing and steals. Harding plays with a chip on his shoulder like Craft did and both have limitations athletically that they have or are overcoming with hard-nosed play.

Harding is quick & stays in front of his guy much better than we've seen from previous Iowa PGs
