Joe Toussaint Commits!!

Yes, very solid pick up! Exactly what this team needs
"Joe is as tough as they come," said Rivals.com analyst Corey Evans. "He is an unselfish playmaker that is willing to do all of the smaller things for his unit to succeed. He’s efficient as a facilitator but even better as a defender."
"Toussaint will be relied upon immediately for his ability to guard the basketball, which should set the tone at the point of the attack at the lead guard spot."

Kudos to Patrick as well as he played with Toussaint in the summer camp(s), loved Joe's game, and was instrumental in him securing an offer, visiting, and getting him to commit presumably.
Yes, this is type of player Fran needs to pickup more often. Get another play like him in next year's class too.
Nice! A player that can dribble drive and defend the point is something Iowa has sorely missed!
He reminds me of the tough little guards Fran had on his good teams at Siena. If Touissant can be that good, it will be welcome. Good news is he can come in and not be in a position to be forced to play huge minutes his first year. Get acclimated, provide solid minutes as backup and take over in Year 2.
Agree with you! He is definitely going to fill an important role!

No one is going to look like a good shooter after JB at PG. But Toussaint’s form looks fairly easy. Excited to see him in the mix in 2019. He certainly has skills we can use.
He's the next S Curry. Oh, give him a game or two and this board will be all over him. 
No wonder Fran was all smiles yesterday! Excellent pickup. Two Joes cannot be a bad thing!
Welcome aboard Mr Toussaint!
Go Hawks!!

He makes all of them on his highlight tapes.
And never misses in practice....
It doesn't sound like he's a very good shooter...and I don't care in the least as long as his quickness, handles and passing translate to college. They don't need more shooting, they need someone to guard and get the ball to the shooters while they are open.
Well they say it's not the X's and O's but the Jimmy and Joe's that matter.
We're loaded up on the Joe's now
For sure. Now we need a couple Jimmies!
It's not the X's and O's, it's the Jimmies and Joes!
(sorry for the redundant post , was typing when 2432 was posting!)
Like the commitment... at least we finally have what looks to be a true point guard. What does this mean for Greenlee and Collins?
Now just go get 3 more Joe's and Iowa can have a starting 5 of all Joe's!
Exactly. Hawks need a defender who can be the tip of the spear to slow the opposing offense from penetrating the interior and a facilitator and distributor in the offensive end and the engine that drives our transition game. Glad to have him.
Not your ordinary Joe! Thank you Mr. Toussaint for joining the Hawkeye family. We are stoked to have you on board!
regarding his shooting, read a game recap of his from this past year and he stepped to the line down two with essentially no time left and sank all three free throws for the win. His crossover looks excellent and sounds tenacious and fearless...seems like a good pick up to me. I also like the sound of getting a pure pg and not a guard we're trying to mold into a point guard.
We currently put zero pressure on the opposing team’s ball handler. They are allowed to pass or drive wherever they choose. JT changes that I think. He is a little bulldog.
