Its not about being white, it's about being able to do nothing but shoot set jumpers.
CJ Frederick
- Thread starter HawkNorth
- Start date
My point is no one knows that and most certainly not yet. Ogles could certainly do a lot more than just shoot set jumpers. If CJ ends up being no better than Ogles he will make good contributions to successful basketball at Iowa. If he's Fleming, or is it Flemming, he'll be bounced.
Did a Bing search. There's a number of nice videos of CJ showing a variety of scoring plays and moves. Primarily a shooter but it look's like a pretty quick release and a pretty quick step into the lane for a quick stop and pop so to speak.
Let's let the kid play some serious minutes before we give up on him.

If Conner works out on his shot over the off season, he’d be a wonderful PG. The last two last-second wins have come with him on the court, and both passes made by him. And it seems like he had a better shot earlier in the season. He seems totally reluctant to shoot now. Strange!
I can’t see Moss going anywhere, and Cook hasn’t improved his game, facing the basket and making jump shots. With a successful season this year, the likelihood of both of them coming back is high.
He can probably transfer to Duke or NC and be a starter and get more minutes than he'll get at Iowa. If he can get in trouble maybe he can transfer to Iowa State???
IMO Connor is a big part of the improved play we are seeing this year. Last year PG was a major weakness when Bohannon was out.
aahh i hope he brings more to the table than AC did .
Breather is one thing but JBo sliding to the 2 isn't giving him a breather at all. Man he runs his butt off at the 2 spot!!
I wouldn’t be surprised if he could shoot 35% right now. But, much like Garza and Kriener shooting 3’s, that’s not a better look than Moss, Bohannon, or Wieskamp shooting a 3, and not a better look than Wieskamp, Cook, or Garza at the hoop.
I wish he’d occasionally take one when defenses leave him wide open though
I'm curious as to why one would think it reasonable, much less likely that Moss would transfer. Take a shot at a pro career somewhere maybe but transfer to another school? What rational basis would prompt such a move?
IM's a three year starter on a team that will qualify for the NCAAs and will return at least four starters (including Moss himself) and 8 of the top 10 players. He's not leaving some failing program for a grad year shot at the NCAAs. No one on this roster is even close to taking minutes from IM.

CMcC is actually hitting kind of a normal freshman wall. It happens to RS freshman also because that RS year is no substitute for the real thing.
C's shot has gotten flatter and less fluid for the last month. These are the biggest games of his young life and he looks like it.
Like many freshmen at this point in the season C's actually kind of hurting the team in most of his minutes on the floor, which explains the gradual downward trend in C's minutes over the last five games-again rather typical for a freshman at this point of the season. C plays minutes where Jobu is a high priority scoring option on a series of specific plays, or the main man is getting a short blow.
If Ike stays it won't be much different next season, except maybe C rediscovers some scoring offense so smaller defenders have to stay a little closer-C's a big kid that can get to rim against smaller defenders if he could hit enough jumpers for pull some defense to him. I think C will simply improve every year, like most players, especially the sons of coaches, but his starting role is probably yet another season away.

LOL. How do you shoot a “set jumper”? I know how to shoot a set shot and jump shot but man you gotta teach me the set jumper!

Agreed, Connor passes up open looks but they still usually end up getting a good look on that posession from someone else.
Iowa is the most efficient offensive team in the league so it's not hurting.
If Cook goes anywhere, it will be Europe. No way he is getting drafted.
Shameless bump. Come on down CJ!
Me too. Joe W, Garza and JBo are the stars.. Supporting cast is going to be very good. Gonna be a fun year
Maybe Moss saw CJ was the better player and figured he better leave. At least I am hoping.
That'd be awesome if CJ was the real deal. If he can fill the role of shooter off the bench, that'd be great. Feel we haven't had one of those in a while.. somehow
Me too. If they could get a good, defensive-minded slashing SG from Grad Transfer I would be thrilled with team.
Not sure its a bench role. C McC certainly doesn't look like a shooter and Jordan is far better with the ball than without it.
I suppose Joey W can move down to that spot and we hope that P McC can guard at the 3.
One thing is certain, CJF is going to get a real shot at extensive playing time. My God I hope he's at least semi ready for the defensive end at this level of ball and can really shoot, cuz we just lost a three year starter that was hitting 42% from 3.
CJ has more combo guard in him than Moss which would be helpful. Moss really struggled as a second ball handler.
Common sense and the world of College basketball are
2 very different things.
That being said, I wish Isaiah all the Best !
GO HAWKS !!
HC has much on his plate. Busy off-season. Joe T. Brings ball up much. Fran Busy. Go Hawk Players and us Fans!!
Not only was he on fire today but he hit HUGE shots throughout the game for momentum.
And I’m talking about a lot of his makes in the first half.
