He was so good as a true Frosh and was really good up until Feb. last season. Now, he isn’t doing nearly as well. What happened?
Weezy...What the hell happened?
- Thread starter HawkeyeInCentralIowa
- Start date
Do you actually think anyone knows the answer to that question? I'm holding judgement until we get to see a few more games.
Good Grief Man, it's just one game, a tuneup game at that. Weezy will be great this year . GO HAWKS !
A bunch of the guys looked a little flat out there tonight. Wouldn't worry about it for now. If it happens again Coach can always send a message and start a few of the backups who looked good. Point is I wouldn't worry about it until UNC. Illinois was really the only top B1G team that looked like they were playing their best ball. Everyone else looked rusty tonight too but also very talented. B1G looks even deeper than expected.
I love that when he didn't get it done on the defensive end early in the 2nd half, Fran pulled him. Deep talent is a wonderful thing.
Didn't see the game but that's interesting.
Who replaced him and how long was he benched?
Everything will be fine
Its only the first game
And he has a great support system

First game and he got into foul trouble with that “charge” early second half. It’s a learning experience for them to play in front of an empty house. I’m more concerned with Connor playing slack D than Wiezy not playing with a ton of confidence to start the season. Just shows he is a grounded kid but need to show some swagger.
There is so much scoring talent on this team that he does not need to be the #2 guy and can afford to let the game come to him. Let's let the season progress - no need for hand-wringing just yet.
I also think its too early to worry about Joe. I guess long term if I have a concern about him its that much of this seems in his head since the NBA camp workouts, and of course now being engaged. Its got to be hard to be that close to someone and now I doubt that he can see her at all for long periods of time. Its too early for him to worry about his career or being the provider, so hope he can settle in and just have some fun this season.
Pat replaced him and he sat until about 14ish min. Pulled really early in the 2nd. Maybe he had 3 fouls? I doubt it since we had so few in the 1st half.
Yep it was because he had just picked up his third. On a very weak call at that.
He's being asked, for the 2nd year in a row, to be something he's not, a 4. He's has bulked up a little to try and take the pounding but he's not a BIG 4. He'll be fine in my opinion and he'll be better when Nunge gets back and Keagan really gets into the flow of things.
5-6 from the Free throw line, 9 points, 6 rebounds............Joe will be great, some nights, this year.
It was Luka, Patrick & Keegan night for the first game.
I'll bet Joe W gets 15 on Friday. #gohawks
That's exactly what's wrong with him.Everything will be fine

Last year when he started to slip was when Jbo was out and when Frederick missed a bunch of games and everyone and their dog was keying on him and he wasn't able to adjust. This was just one game and as has been mentioned he got into a little bit of foul trouble which probably hurt his ability to get into a rhythm. Let's give him some time to settle in
Joe's demeanor and results always seem to improve if he knocks down that first shot. Most great shooters have short memories. He just needs a couple of good shooting games and I'd bet he will be fine.
He doesn't need to be the #2 guy now. I felt like he forced the action a little yesterday.
Theres so much offensive fire power on this team anyone who's open will score.
Theres at least 4 guys who could put up 30 on any night and Patrick might be a 5th.
Most everyone will have to double Garza and after that it should be easy to get open shots.
Theres no difference between 3 and 4 in Iowas zone.
Hes playing offense on the peremiter.
Last year teams were usually putting their best perimeter defender on Joe and that was probably the biggest reason for his struggle.
He just needs to hit open shots and he'll be fine.
Isn't this the kind of game he should be having a good game??
His problem is has been his 3pt shot went south in 2nd half of last season and that continued his 1st game this year. I don't think that has anything to do with what position he is being asked to play.
Have we forgotten that a teammate was burying his father the very same day? I don’t know the relationships between the individual players but it certainly doesn’t seem like a stretch that he and Jack could have been close.
and the entire team attended the funeral via Zoom
Just a depressing day for all involved. I can see why their focus might be in a couple places.

I don't know Joe, never met him, but he just does not look like he's enjoying himself playing the game he should love. After he threw up an airball on his first shot attempt, he just looked like, "here we go again." He also got called for two bogus fouls, one of which took away an "and one" from him and I believe sent him to the bench. He just needs a little early success to get this turned around.
BTW, talking about his girlfriend just because you know who it is, isn't funny or clever or relevant.
Im sure everyone on the team has atleast 1 girlfriend.

Good 3 ball spot up shooter. That will come. He needs to consider some stop and pop jumpers. He’s not good going all the way to the rim. Also not a great playmaker, rarely seems to set up others.
