Street baer

Baer is a long way from Chris Street. Not even the same game. I'd compare Baer to one of the Davis walk on guys, like Jim Bartels.
 
Yes that is what I'm getting at inthasasium being in the right place most all the times can shout from where ever the intangibles ect
 
Kent was a pretty clever defender by the time he left Iowa. Of course when you shoot .475 from three, and you shoot a lot of threes, you pretty much take a defender out of the game entirely.

The Baer reminds me of Bill Jones as a freshman. Always around the ball, doing a good job on whatever is needed at the moment. Not a physical specimen but just a good baller.

He is pretty active on Twitter during and after games giving his thoughts.

Also, looked like he got after if at the Rose Bowl... Had to do the ole delete last nights tweets thing.

Less local broadcasting control - most games on an ESPN channel or BTN. Not easy to have a production/announcing crew waiting for maybe a couple of OOC games. He did color anyway, not the play by play, so I assume maybe he's not even in demand.
 
Something about Baer's energy or excitement is similar to Chris Street...
I would agree with this. Both were tenacious defenders and it appears that Baer can be a good rebounder, too. Street was taller and longer/rangier but they are very similar otherwise. Baer is a better outside shooter as a freshman but Street was unstoppable on the block. But their Hawkeye enthusiasm is very similar.
 
Much better than Wade. But Wade had that "pump fake under the hoop even when nobody was there" thing going on.

:) yes the pump fake...I remember we were playing Illinois in carver one year..there were 4 Illinois fans behind us..loved it when iowa staffers would sell their tics to the enemy...anyway I think it was a year we struggled with wins...they of course were pretty braggish & being pretty much shit heads with their comments..

toward the end of the game...with clock running down LookBill heaved a 3 pointer & banked in for the win...turned around & these 4 (who were in my ears the entire game)..had scooted out of their seats headed up the steps..

"hey where are you going"? the last guy turned around walked down 2 steps put his middle finger in my face...:p...course caught me a little off guard..all I came up with was.."have a nice trip home"...I'm sure some of you probably remember that game.
 
I remember. Wade banked one it to tie it a Les Jepson had a driving layup with 2 seconds left. Good guys win by 2
