Settles had an interesting comparison of him to Olaseni. I hadn’t thought of that but seems to be about the closest when comparing to other Fran Hawks.

Seems like a really lazy superficial comparison to me.
Dembele is much more skilled offensive player.
Lol, settle down. He was talking about offensive rebounding only, comparing the two.
10 of the 12 scholarship players have played tonight
No Mulvey or Brauns

That’s a good looking bunch of freshmen. Freeman is the real deal.
Called 178 total at half. Of course I don't have the money to bet it and if I did, it would've never happened because f*** me, right?
But at least the Hawks won.
BTW, I would take #5 from North Dakota as a transfer in a heartbeat.
Iowa BB going over in the crappy non con games is almost as sure of a thing as Iowa FB going underCalled 178 total at half. Of course I don't have the money to bet it and if I did, it would've never happened because f*** me, right?

Never had a chance to place the bet before game time.
Once the game gets started the in-game lines get weird af.
Kind of disappointed those two didn't get in before the walkons. Even Brauns isn't going to leave, he is an Iowa kid from West High. He left Belmont where he was a starter. I am not expecting him to get pt over Krikke or Freeman but not in at all kind of sucks.
Mulvey, I think everyone gets that Fran realizes he isn't going to work out. He is young and can find another team to play for but give him some games on tape so he can get a shot somewhere else.
Other than those two things, good night. Looked solid from the clips I saw. P
Sandy looks to be our best player which is kind of what I thought. I am surprised with how well Bowen played. Freshman all looked like they can and will contribute... I could see this being a 10 player rotation again but this time there isn't a definite top group that is clearly better. I'm guessing the 2nd team guys compete and probably beat the starters a fair share of times.
Settles is weird and I disagree with him often. I think that he meant purely in terms of athleticism the two players are comparable and I can see that, actually. He is more mobile than any other center we've had in the Fran era except for Olaseni. Going back further, I'm hoping for Erik Hansen with more offensive game. Hopefully a lot more offensive game.
Jack Nunge would be a much better comp if we have to do a former iowa player.
Is that BJ Omot? Iowa looked at him briefly in high school but never offered. He's getting fringe NBA radar buzz.
Eli King of UND scored 2 points (shot 1-9 from the field)
Iowa offered him. He was a former 4 star recruit who originally committed to Iowa State.

I'm guessing he was thinking of 20 which is Omot.
Should have offered him, he looked like the best player on the court.
Yeah he's a great player. IIRC Iowa watched him a couple of different times at his high school in Mankato.
