Nicholas Baer..........Thanks for keeping the Hawkeyes

[IowaNiceHawk]

in the game, in the first half and well most of the 2nd half, also.

Baer lead the Hawkeyes in scoring and well, he just
LEAD the Hawkeyes.

GO HAWKS

He's why I think all the shortening up the rotation talk is horsehockey...not that HE would be shortened, but all 11 players have contributed at key spots this year. We've needed every one of them, and we never truly know game to game which ones will have the hot hand.

Absolutely, Nic is the spark plug that keeps the Hawkeye basketball engine running at maximum rpms!

And this won't change next year either. McCaffery has already said that both Garza and Nunge will get minutes next year, and I assume his son will as well. You are going to have to be a dynamic game changer to get a ton of minutes at any position next year.

i will be surprised if nunge gets significant minutes next year, could be wrong.

The guy is better than the average Baer!

 

[gojojo]

He should play 35 minutes a game. I don't think he gets tired.

He gets tired quite a bit but you cannot underestimate his value to this team.

 

[bagdropper]

Depending on how good the new guys are - and we truly don't know given everybody comes back - I think the logjam may work itself out next year.

No need to speculate who or what...just have a feeling it will "work itself out". But despite what Fran may have said...I wouldn't count on the new guys just coming in and take big minutes - assuming everybody comes back of course.

The Boy from Bettendorf led the Hawkeyes with
14 points against Wisconsin. Nick Baer is a dynamic
catalyst who injects intensity on the court. He plays
his heart out on every play and takes his role seriously.
The Hawkeyes do not win without him.

 

[The Sleeping Dog]

The Baer is the rare player that has greater impact coming off the bench. The eruption of hyper kinetic energy is very disruptive to the other team's game flow.

When we open the Baer cage opponents just see this coming straight at them.

Baer was gold in that game, not lead.

 

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

He just does everything right. Even the little things like ballhandling & passing.
