He has that same effortless shot that Uthoff has. Very smooth.
Halftime announcers still bitchin' that Nunge is going out of state.

First half over, some good basketball. Nunge is the real deal. Reminds me of Kaminsky. Hit a couple threes and his shot looked nice. Nice high release and repeatable. He'll shoot that for a good percentage. Very good passer. Passed out of a double team to a three point shooter on the opposite side of the court. Long arms. Needs better foot speed to keep in front of his defender but he is guarding basically a small forward at the college level and the best player on the opposing team.
Some on this board have suggested that Nunge would possibly be a candidate to redshirt next year....the only way I see him not playing next year is if he is injured and unable to play for the entire year or he request to redshirt, if that kid is a 3 star recruit, I can't wait to see what we have is Luka Garza,oh my......
Aaron Henry (#50) on the other team looks like an underrated recruit. Fran should check him out. He can drive, shoot, pass, and is already built.
He does not play like Uthoff. In this game he is not a dribble drive guy.
C'mon. How is that different from Hawks bitchin' when an Iowa HS player leaves the state?
yep the castle coach should suggest to his guards to try to get the ball to Nunge...
Castle loses with a shot at the buzzer 74-71. By my count, Nunge had 33 points and 14 rebounds. Tough loss!
Its a big deal in the state of Indiana....to have one of their states' best high school player go elsewhere ...(it even had a little to do with Crean getting Crean)...and then to Iowa !!!!!
If you ever have had an opportunity to talk with a Hoosier fan in person...you would see how this just doesnt happen. The mindset of Hoosiers' of a couple generations ago is quite remarkable. They live & breath their boys...for one of them to go to Iowa is unthinkable ....I love it.
Impressions.
Biggest asset is of course his ability to hit the three.
Nice passing skills.
Blocks out well on rebounds.
Deceptively good leaping and appears to have good reach.
Works in the team concept.
Can take the ball to the hole
Good timing blocking shots.
Needs strength. (Not uncommon for high school kids)
Work on defense (ditto)
Quickness? Maybe it's me but I didn't see anything above average either in his first step or getting up and down the court.
Obviously in the Matt Bullard, Jared Uthoff mold. Also very European looking game. I'm very interested to see if he'll play a wing for Iowa. Not that it matters on the offensive end as with the motion everybody is all over the court. Defensively, we might be moving more and more to a Syracuse zone? Back to the length thing when we had White/Olaseni/Woody/Uthoff.......back to length.

It'd be nice to be able to redshirt either Nunge or Garza. Of course, it's possible that they're both just too good to sit.
I wasn't able to watch the whole game, but Castle really failed to feed Jack as much as they should have. When your premiere player is 6" taller than the opposition, you need to get the ball in his hands as much as possible or wait for him to set up under the hoop. A lot of missed transition 3s when Jack was trailing to setup half court offense.

I wonder if Sophomore Alex Hemenway will get a look from Iowa.
