Joe Wieskamp: The legend that will be

[Bulldogs1974]

Obviously some of you were never “ joe cool” enough to have a nickname growing up. If you did your friends would have laughed at you for suggesting anyone be named joe cool.

Sounds like a cigarette reference. No thanks.
Simple weezy or wheezy with the three symbol.

huh? You're thinking of Joe Camel.

This...is Joe Cool.

 

[Suterman]

This. He already has a nickname. It's Weezie and that's that.

 

[Ronman]

What is exceptional about Joe is that he is a great outside shooter, but it really one of the few Hawks that can effectively take the ball to the rim. He's off to a great start and is destined to be one of the all time great Hawks.

Like the Camel cigarette guy?

Nah man, that’s Joe Camel. Joe Cool was Snoopy’s alter ego.

Not to mention several nice defensive plays, turned Cincy over at half court on the press, and blocked their 6'11" centers shot at the rim. Great all around game from "the kid from Muscatine". Seriously, when is the last time that sand bar on the Mississippi has gotten this kind of love?

Murray Wier?

I've heard he was Joey Buckets on his AAU team. Much better.

This is where he really reminds me of Hummel. He is fearless driving to the bucket, and usually scores with an "and 1". His outside shooting will only add to his ability to get around defenders for easy buckets.

thanks HawkDrummer for getting that pic to post. I could not get it to. I like the gold shirt in Iowa colors.
So you are "cool" in my book also.

Agree. I look for this young man to be one of if not the greatest Hawk of all time. I’d like to see him surpass Marble scoring record—their freshman totals are within 20 points.

Yes Joe Cool seems to be on track to be a great all time Hawkeye. His all around game and play is kind of like Nic Baer taking his talent to the next level up. Nic plays like Joe in spurts and Joe Cool has the ability to do it longer in games so has better stats. They are both pretty clutch. Just behind JBo clutch.

He and Nic and the whole team this year needs to work on one big flaw that seems to happen every game. Boxing out bigs on rebounds.

Joe Wieskamp can play defense and rebound. He
scores from 3 point land and also drives to the bucket.
He is the complete package that you want in a Big
Ten basketball player.

As a freshman he has 11.1 points per game and
377 total points. It is good to see a Hawkeye freshman
with a double digit scoring average.

I think he's our best defender and rebounder right now. He's our best finisher and second best 3 point shooter behind Bohannon. He's just a complete player. The ability to get more drives to the basket will come more in the next couple of years. Plus he's a very unselfish player. Can't wait to see him when it becomes his team. It seems like he'll develop that take over games ability.

I think his defense is still pretty inconsistent. He seems to get burned a couple times a game. It’s just inexperience and strength. I do think he wil be a great defender by next year. His length gives smaller players fits and he’s awesome on the point of the press. Really a pleasure to watch and already one of my all time favorites.

 

[twindman]

I think he is already weezy since that is what his teammates call him. If it is good enough for them, it is good enough for me!

 

[buchs]

I’m partial to “Joe Cool”

Agree. I like a simple Weezy. I also like Threeskamp.

I need to get these old eyes of mine checked. At first I thought it was Joey Brackets.
