just read a article about this falls team

14.1 ppg is very avg, they are more a middle of the pack numbers, they are/will be very easy to duplcate/replace,

again Kris's 20 ppg will take 2 players to make up those numbers. as I don't see a player on this years team needing to score like that for them be successful.

Krikke has the best chance of coming the closest has he has the ability and proven ability to do so.

but he won't have.

this is my starting lineup with there scoring this season
5 Krikke 16 ppg
4 [stretch] Patrick 14 ppg
3 Sanfort 12 ppg
2 Perkins 13 ppg
1 Bowen 8 ppg
won't even try to do the mpg
as that = 63 ppg

to get over 80 ppg the bench will need to avg 17 ppg
with players on the bench that should not be a problem, players like Mulvey and the FR will have a say in how much they play and how many minutes and points they score.

there is some high scoring potential on the bench in these

Sanfort IA MR bb
Freeman
Harding Illinois MR BB and POY [Player of The Year].
Dembele
Dix
Braums
Mulvey yet to be decided

to me that looks like a solid 2 deep at each position. plus 2 extra payers. that can only make the practice fun to watch as now they have someone to push for playing time. Fran now has the players that if some is not going 100% he can now sit them and let someone who will give 100% the playing time.

some times that's all it takes to have players step up their game. nobody likes to sit on the bench. another thing about this roster is their ability tp play multiple positions

I wish this board had contributing posts instead of bashing other posters and players. It's the main reason I don't come here very often. Kind of gets old. I'd much rather come here to get information instead of reading attacks on those that post and players.
Is the thought process that posters should ignore errors in facts?

I hope Fran gives him a chance to show that he can contribute. He's seen so little time on the court during the last 2 years that no one knows if he can succeed or not, and most on here believes he's a waste of time. I may be in the minority on here but he has the length that Iowa hasn't had for years. I'm rooting for him big time.
I agree with all of this.

Mulvey is going to surprise a lot of people this upcoming season

Krikke and Braums can play both the 4 and 5 positions, this gives Fran the much needed depth he has not had the last couple seasons

the last 2 years Mulvey and Ogundele didn't give him many options at either position, this is getting old but this is the 2 deeps for this fall
1/2/PG SO Bowen FR Harding
1/2/3/PG/SG/SF SR Perkins SO Dix
3/4/SF/stretch 4 RSSR Patrick JR Sanfort
4/5/PF/C RSJR Braums FR Dembele
5/4 /C/PF RSSR Krikke FR Freeman

off the bench
2/3/SF/SG FR Sanfort
5/C Mulvey

walk on's
1/2 CG RSFR Nimmers
2/3 G/F JR Lakata
2/3 G/F RSSO Kingsbury

that will give Fran multiple option to build this years team out of group. this is what he has been missing the options to having mutiple players capable of playing more than 1 position.

this will help in case of injuries/fouls or unknown reasons of player's not able to play.

that is why I stated that Nelson would have been a nice addition to this team.

Pointing out facts and being a dick to players and posters is the difference. You can disagree without being disagreeable. That is my point. Also, a name spelling error isn't big deal except for those that want it to be.

I am sure you've never criticized someone for spelling something wrong. :rolleyes:

I'd agree totally that misspelling a name isn't a big deal, UNLESS your constantly trying to pass yourself off as some kind of know it all on Iowa athletics, and then you are factually incorrect more often then your right, and its not just just misspelling, but totally butchering someones name, or even calling one of the football players, one of the ex basketball players name. Pretty damn hard to take such a person seriously, regardless of their self perceived superiority.....

AGAIN, try reading my post. Mistakes, sure, everybody makes them. But when YOU are constantly posting things with this "I know everything there is to know about Iowa athletics" attitude, AND telling anyone who disagrees with you to cheer for another team, (like thats just a mistake also right)? , AND then a bunch of the stuff you post is just plain not correct, then yes, Your going to get called out for it. You invite the debates against you with your own dismissive attitude in your posts. Step back and actually look at your argumentative style. You seek out the discourse......

Hoping that you are just lumping people together with the ‘Dick to players’ part.
As far as posters go I will point out when they are factually inaccurate. Hopefully they would do the same to me, how people respond to that is what separates the posters. Consistently posting ‘facts’ that are wrong and going with STFU or GFY when it is mentioned will keep my attention.
Fortunately or unfortunately the op makes it pretty easy to find their mistakes. Then is a jackwagon when it is mentioned
 
Bullcrap.
Keep making my point. You are very good at it! My original point is that people keep bashing players and posters. That is a fact. I come here for information. Certainly not to read garbage, senseless attacks from tough guys sitting behind a computer or in their Mother’s basement. My guess is quite a few posters agree with me!

So you can critique someone’s spelling but it’s wrong when someone else does? That seems quite hypocritical.

I don’t critique others and their spelling. It doesn’t bother me in the least. I’m critical of posters here bashing players and other posters. It’s really fairly clear what was my point. I’m come here for information and read garbage attacks on others.

I resisted the part of my brain that wants me to explain how we use an in front of words that start with a vowel and a with words that start with a consonant. I'm quite proud of myself.

So do I. Can you tell me about this "Braums" player Karnack keeps referring to and what you expect from him for the coming season?
 
an earlier post reported Mulvey had a growth spurt during the off season,and is now over seven feet tall. Anyone else hear this?

For me it’s aggressive mods deleting threads because they ‘duplicated’ spam boys posts

Get dipshit Karnack banned for the 372nd time and it would improve both of those things.
