Chris Kingsbury kids

Probably Kenyon Murray. I'm pretty sure he was McD AA and got here a year or so ahead of Kingsbury.
I was a big Kingsbury fan.
To this day, i believe the flex offense that Dr. Tom ran was a detriment to Chris. We ran no screens to get that guy looks. Our zone offense had him stand at the top of the key. It was frustrating. Put that guy in a motion offense and i would be his shot selection would have been much better

No, he could have been All American. His tools were that good. He just didn't have the individual discipline....and he's said as much in interviews over the years. As I've always understood it, he was a straight arrow in HS, then got to college and had all the distractions he never had back home and it all kind of got away from him.
Mac was the perfect 2-guard to compliment Woolridge. Mac never had to run the offense and he didn't need to try to penetrate or post up. He mostly lived at the 3 line and killed defenses after Woolridge broke them down.
Marlboro reds were the smoke of choice if memory serves correctly.
The school my kids attend play Kingsbury's kids. Decent players for C2 Nebraska basketball but nowhere near D1 talent. Their ceiling would be NAIA or D3 level. The one that is a senior is strong, pretty quick and very aggressive, but is a horrible outside shooter. The sophomore is the better player, better shooter but less athletic. Has good range but all you have to do is put a decent athlete on him and he's totally neutralized.
Chris was a character, and made some amazing deep shots, but with the passing of time people forget some of the games he shot Iowa OUT of. Kid had NO conscience, which depending on the game could be good or bad.
Yeah, that's about what I seem to remember. He could be really streaky.. When he was off, he could be a detriment. He'd get the ball and it would go up. When he was on, he was unstoppable. Although he had a lot of talent, his shot selection was questionable at times.
Absolutely. Kingsbury is most remembered as a wild outside shooter, but he was a beast in the paint. Dude could play!
We have our 2022 Shooting Guard!!!
When a prospect does not have a Rivals profile, that means they are REALLY, REALLY GOOD!

For the record I’m thrilled with this. Loved watching Chris Kingsbury. Hope his kid is a very pleasant surprise.

He was apparently at a prep school last season so he has to be enrolling this fall

So much of that video was like looking through a time portal at his dad. Very similar shooting strokes and game. Even the way he runs is similar.
Especially when poured into a small glass on top of a bar...
So we have Acie, Val Barnes and Jeff Moe with kids at IC West; Kenyon Murray’s boys on roster; Kingsbury’s kid on the way. Can we get a Settles and Woolridge to round this out?
So, a couple of preferred walk-on shooting guards?

McCausland is WAY to slow for today's game. He was one dimensional. Kingsbury woukd post a guy up and had fairly good court vision.
Dr Tom killed momentum with his substitution BS. That summitch cost us the UNLV game. I'm still chapped about it. The 87-88 team is the best Iowa has ever had.
Iowa (HS to Iowa) McDonald’s AA:
Roy Marble
Ray Thompson
Kenyon Murray
Chris Kingsbury
Also: Michael Payne (1981), Al Lorenzen (1984), and Ed Horton (1985).
Iowa has officially signed 8 McD's AAs out of high school.
My favorite was the dude out of Battle Creek because he was the first one I can remember well (I was in 6th grade when he was a freshman). 😌
I think EIHC is confusing the 87-88 team with the 86-87 team. No, Dr. Tom did not cost Iowa that Unlv game. The narrative that he "sat on the ball the 2nd half" is probably the biggest myth in Hawkeye hoops history.
And McCausland was not way too slow for today's college game. NBA game has changed quite a bit over that time. But college ball isn't that different. If anything, Kent played a more demanding tempo in Davis' full court press. And, if anything, he could probably get off more 3's in today's game. Played against Morris Peterson, Luke Recker, Michael Redd. I think he'd hold up fine.
He was a better defender than JBo. So if way too slow for today's game, then what would that tell you about JBo?

Best pure shot he’s seen. Said his ball going through made a sound he’d never heard before. Like the ball was being vacuum-sucked through the net.
Shit that reminds me I’m late for OP’s mom.
I like it. From what I’ve read and seen both have quite a bit of potential to be solid contributors to the Hawks.
Looks like a solid shooter, good passer, and smart player, a lot like his dad. Definitely could have played on scholarship at a lower level. It’ll be cool for Chris to see his kid donning the black and gold too. Love the PWO move by Fran - a win all around
