Keegan Murray named Most Outstanding Player at National Prep School Invitational Tournament
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
That's a very shortsighted take.
Nunge had a very limited sample size. He was starting over Kriener to begin the season.
At worst case he's our backup 5 next year.
You can look at my post history. I saw Iowa practice this offseason and raved about CJ and Nunge. Nunge was a beast. Easily the 2nd best post on the team.
Look how many gave up on Connor last year and now he has the best assist to turnover ratio in the country.
You also said Pemsl should start in place of Nunge and Joe T should start in place of Connor.
Dad Good.Why not be Stars?
Just curious, but how old are the Murrays? If they are already a year out of HS, are they really going to want to redshirt and wind up being 20 or 21 year old freshmen?
So when was that and what was the context?
Are you referring to my offhand comment during the DePaul game or something else?

These things have a way of working themselves out. Chances are someone will transfer, go pro, quit playing, or whatever. What we perceive to be the roster for next year most likely won't be, at least not exactly.
i thought being a 23-24 year old senior was pretty sweet. I would have enjoyed it more if i wouldn’t have also been a 22-23 year old senior and 21-22 year old senior.
Can you (or anyone) send a link of this IMG game or even better a link to their entire schedule? I went looking for it and couldn't find it. I see there is an DME Sports Academy team who has a 3-15 record on Maxpreps and an upcoming game with Oak Hill Academy. I have a hard time believing this the correct team if they just recently won this tournament. Hopefully I have pulled up a JV team? Can someone help?
They would be the DME Post Grad Blue team.
They just beat two top 10 post grad teams in the last few weeks.
You can see some updates on the DME basketball Twitter feed.
I believe this GoIowaAwesome post links the entire IMG game:

IMG apparently has 3 4* players...
The older the better! That much closer to their physical peak as seniors.
I don't think there is any way Ogundele redshirts. RK is gone and I would be shocked if Pemsl is back. And who knows how Nunge recovers. We will need him to give us a solid 10 min per game off the bench. But the rest of the freshman I would agree with you on.
Thanks for the update. A great night again for the last name Murray!
I agree with this. Ogundele will play as he is a position of need but suspect in the long run will not be the most valuable recruit for this class.
I also think the Murrays will play next year as the bigger one may contribute at the 4 spot and I really don’t want to tie up 2 rides for 5 years (assuming they want to traverse through the IA Hoop program together).
I could see the twins play or redshirt.
If Nunge and Pat return then there will be limited minutes for them.
There's bound to be some attrition next year, we just don't know yet. Do Garza and Joe return? Does Bohannon transfer? Do Cordell and Connor change their priorities?
Agree the Big O is the most likely freshmen to play. We don't know what Jack will look like as Garzilla's back up at center. Certainly don't know if Cordell returns. I could see a grad transfer to a much weaker program just for PT. But Cordell's an Iowa kid and he might stick around and improve as he gets further out from the injury. But, O looks like a decent player that will need PT to improve. If Nunge is healthy, and P Mac and Cordell return minutes will be hard to come by.
Obviously the future is not knowable. But, the chances that Connor or Jordan aren't playing Hawkeye basketball next season are too small for statistical measurement.
Luka and Joe Dub are coming back. Neither is a first rounder and I think both are team oriented guys that see the chance for a special season next year. The money is always a lure but I'd wager, indeed have wagered, that both guys will be in black and gold next year.
Here's a great story. Little Iowa. A couple of guys that have played together since they were like 12 (Jordan and Cordell), a monster named Garzilla in the middle and a group of gritty veterans take Iowa to their first conference title in 42 years. Its gotta happen someday, right?

I thought he was skilled right from his redshirt freshman season.
He had his coming out party in the Hy Vee Classic when Uthoff got in early foul trouble. I think Baer had 6 blocks that game against Drake.
Correction KnK’s post grad team lost to IMG’s post grad team then avenged the loss at home. Post grad team ONLY play other post grad, juco or D2 teams for the reason stated above. They are out of high school, so it only makes sense that they play other teams with post graduate players. Same thing for the showcase Keegan on the MOP, they played all post grad teams at the event.
Why would you be shocked if Pemsl returns? In talking with him he sure seems like he is looking forward to coming back.

Kris hits the game winner, has it taken away by the ref, and then watches his brother be the hero! He's a better man than I, because if the DutchFlounder ever stole my game winner, I'd probably never step on the court again.
