Does Iowa have 1 more spot to give?Excited about this commitment than get Jackson-Davis and we’re off to a final four!
I hope this isn't true. I'm struggling to recall players making a big contribution without a decent shot. Gesell never scored over 8 points per game, but he was a scoring machine in HS. Though I'm not much of a diagnostician I thought his issues in college were mental/confidence. If he's a Gesell I'll be glad we got him. Michael Reaves?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.
The only way they have another spot for 2019, is transfers at the end of this year, or using Patrick's scholarship like they did Connor's.Does Iowa have 1 more spot to give?
Think Yogi Ferrell,... given some time...
Probably more like a quicker Anthony Clemmons.

With better handles.
Or a stronger Kevin Smith?Probably more like a quicker Anthony Clemmons.

Wasn’t Yogi a McDonald’s AA? I’m pumped to have Toussaint aboard, but let’s Pump the brakes a little. I’m most excited about his in ball defense. Will bring some toughness to the defensive side that we haven’t seen for a while. Go Hawks!
I don't think it should be taken that he is as good as Yogi but has the style of game. We need a quick lockdown defending point who can create.Wasn’t Yogi a McDonald’s AA?

Yeah,... like I said, Yogi Ferrell....
That's not realistic IMO.
Care to elaborate?Hope the kid works out but I have my doubts.

He isn't tall and he might not be an elite outside shooter, but otherwise, JoeT looks like he fits the description of what we need. If he stays patient, he will have a year to learn from JBo and Connor, before we need big minutes from him or another PG.Getting projects like this is a hard way to recruit for a Power 5 team. Most don't pan out.

Why is he a project?
Most guys who are three stars are projects. The guy scored about 5 points a game in AAU and doesn't appear to be a shooter.

Given the interest by some very good teams, JoeT is far less of a project than JBo was coming out of HS. I just hope he enjoys the huge culture change he will be facing in Iowa City.
Good get by Fran number one. Does it come with some risk like the kid getting homesick and leaving? Yes, but so does every other offer to an 18 year old kid. I could care less if the Touissant can shoot from beyond the free throw line. Fran's mad science experiment with positionless basketball has been a disaster. Get a guard who can guard, drive the ball, dish and score in the paint. Put a guy like that out there with Bohannon, Frederick, Weiskamp and others and you have the makings of what Wisconsin has been successful with for years. Without the ability to drive from either guard spot, this team remains easy to defend and prone to scoring droughts if the 3 ball isn't falling.
