Dom Uhl

[WinOneThisCentury]

It's like a light went on against Penn State...that was as decisive offensively that I've seen him...strong to the hole and finishing. Granted, the defense was pretty weak, but he looks like he's decided he's going to finish at the rim and draw fouls. His confidence is a very, very good thing. With him in the game, it makes the match up with Uthoff so much more difficult. Who do you guard with the smaller guy and who gets the big? Either way, it takes a big away from the basket and opens the lane.

Pretty impressive...Dom's going to need more minutes in my opinion.

Start?

Start?

Sure, in 2016-17. If you're even implying this year, I have to wonder why you want to upset a really good thing.

Definitely agree on this. He is more like a starter of the bench, ManBAERpig and Wagner are high energy guys. Uhl is close to putting together a quite consistent game

Uhl is clearly the 6th man and will look to be the starter in the 2016-17 season, other than a couple dunks he has been playing the same way all of 2015-16. he is just getting more comfortable in his role just like White did in his FR year where he did not start till the last 11 games,

that year Fran needed White this year Fran does not need Uhl to be a starter. @ 18+ mpg he has been doing his job.

I am enjoying this season but I am also looking forward to next season as Fran will have more athletic players to work with at all the positions, the current players are all athletic.

but the perception of the players will be improved.

I imagine Uhl will be a prime candidate for 6th man of the year award this year. If he continues to improve like Marble, White, Jok and Uthoff did he will be All Big before he is done. Now THAT is player development.

I like things just the way they are.

It seems like Uhl is like Uthoff was a few years ago. Just scratching what he will be.

Coach told him he needs to start dunking more! Pretty evident on his two-handed put back jam off his own miss! Hope he can develop a pull-up jumper to add to his game.

I've always liked Dom's upside from his HS vids because of his handles and he is 6'9" inches tall. I remember one HS vid where he was at the top of the key and took the other teams Big off the dribble to his left with a big time flush...I was sold on that one vid with Dom. He's a player.

Now he's knocking down 3s, still taking his match-up and usually the other teams Big off the dribble drive, his post game is getting stronger with a flush, defense is solid and he's playing very heady BB all around. As a soph only, he is just scratching the surface.

Once he learns how to drive and pull straight up, drive and spin move, he is going to be real difficult to defend. He has great upside.
