Jonesing for bball news

2432 Hawk. I think we could utilize you as a point post. You just stand with the ball on the blocks, and we screen until you find an open shooter.

I hope Monday’s press conference is like a two hour deal where they pin Fran down to discuss the lineups he might use against a hot shooting perimeter team, or a team with an explosive SF that can get into the paint.
I want to know about player development, which players are comfortable shooting at what ranges. Who’s put on muscle.

And most importantly — verticals.

The good thing is that we will have some real height again that hopefully stops a few more shots at the rim.
That's what I was thinking. With our size and athleticism around the rim, IMO, the opposition will think twice about attacking the rim. I'm not saying they won't, but it should be pretty difficult with Garza, Cook, Kreiner, Baer, and Nunge hanging around. I haven't forgotten Cordell. If he's healthy, look out.
 
I want Tom to put the bigs shoulder to shoulder and shoot a picture with all 3 of them with their hands in the air just to see who has the highest standing reach.

Kreiner apparently has the longest wingspan for his height so I think all 3 may be within 1" of each other.

Maybe put JaBo in there just for fun :)
 
Cook Kreiner and Pemsl were all around the rim and we couldn't protect it last year.

Garza doesn't have to block shots - just alter them.
 
Solid. Positional. Defense.

That's where you start. If you are where you're supposed to be, that solves a ton of the problem. Then, help defense. And THEN, blocked shots, as a bonus.

You are correct. And often, especially early last year, our young guys got caught between staying home and helping. Just a matter of experience which most of our guys now have.

True, not to mention that Garza and Nunge's presense will help push last years frosh for playing time. Kreiner for one really seems to have picked up his game, although I think he's just healthier then he was at this time last year.
 
And tomorrow, 11 days away!!

We're getting there folks. News should start flowing soon of all the great speculative achievements and who's doing what in practice.

I can't wait.

Headlines for tomorrow:
JBo given the green light, as soon as he crosses mid-court
Three headed monster of Garza, Nunge and Baer make a pact to lead the B1G in blocks
NBA scouts have set up a tent outside the Iowa locker room, and 8 of them have a 1st round grade on Cook
Fran declares “We’re going to live and die with our 2-3 zone, it’s up to the players and how hard they want to work at it.”

I want Fran to give star rankings on what he has seen over the summer and also 40 times, If we are going to try to run as much as possible we need to know 40 times.​

I think Nunge would win both the height and the reach contest by a couple of inches over the other bigs.
 
Really? You really think Nunge is taller than Garza?

I'd put Nunge at 6'9 3/4 and Garza at an even 6'11".

Although as far as reach goes he may be longer than Garza
 
I walked past both of them on different occasions at PTLand Garza seemed much more imposing - more than any player I have been next to including Woodbury, Cook, Kreiner, Gabe.

Nah, I'll trail and hit the secondary break 3 from the top of the key.
