Secret Scrimmage

- Start date
Brock had 30 pts & 25 assists....
And 18 steals playing lock down defense against the Iowa men’s swim team and Abercrombie & Fitch sales crew.
I can’t commit to either one until we’ve heard officially from @curtisj157.
A few random, unverified data points in the replies in this tweet indicating…
- dominant win, 24 point spread
- two of Harding’s stats: 5 assists, 4 steals
- Southern Illinois as the opponent.

Is Southern Illinois supposed to be any good?
Thanks for your detective work; this was supposed to be a secret!
Middle of the pack in the MVC I believe…Is Southern Illinois supposed to be any good?

Looks like JR Koch posted something and then deleted it. Before it got deleted, it created some excitement about Cooper.
Lindy's preview magazine has SIU at 7th out of 12 in the Missouri Valley Conference (UNI 4th. Drake 5th. They pick Bradley to be 1st).Is Southern Illinois supposed to be any good?

I’m hearing that Fran only played Freeman 20 minutes so he could experiment more with the new 4s and 5s and Dembele.
If Dembele plays backup Center then it may be harder to start him just due to rotations. If Tadjo plays backup Center (10 mpg or so) then perhaps Dembele starts and Traore backups both PF and SF and still gets good minutes.
I could see PG/PF positions both having 2 guys who almost split minutes equally but within any given game could get more based on who is playing well and the matchups.
If Cooper is playing well then it makes it even harder. I think if Cooper starts to get 10-15 mpg that those minutes would come from Tadjo, meaning Dembele would for sure be playing backup Center.
IMO Dembele > Traore > Cooper > Tadjo but it depends on what position you're putting them at. Tadjo's basketball IQ and offensive skill level is what hurts him the most when comparing to the other 3. Cooper being ready for B10 physicality is the question for him.
I haven't seen Traore so perhaps he can beat out Dembele, just my rankings based on what I've seen so far.

Pretty much exactly my assessment as well. I think there is a good chance Traore plays as much 3 as 4. Dembele will probably split time at 4 and 5. I don't know whether Cooper's athleticism will allow him to also play 3/4 or just 4. Should be interesting to watch the rotations get finalized over the start of the season.
I saw it before it got taken down.
Pryce Sandfort missed a 3 ball and then Cooper skied up for a put-back slam. It was a quick clip, but I was honestly very surprised by his athleticism.
I think it has Iowa at 16th out of 18 in B10, but yes, has us picked to be kinda bad. (They have Minnesota at 17, Penn St at 18).
