Georges Niang Combine Results

[HFCS]

Leistikow had an article in the paper the other day talking about Uthoff training in Vegas and Uthoff basically said that his personality leads him to be a role player (i.e. because of the late game crap). Nothing wrong with being a role player, but I'm not sure that should be an attitude that one strives for.

Speaking of Leistikow, it's embarrassing how in the bag he is for Iowa. It's like what I would write about Iowa State if I was 12 and writing my own blog. I don't know that I've read an article that he's written that isn't an unnecessary love fest about Iowa. Frankly, it is like Iowa has their own PR person writing articles for the Register.

Some of his articles over the past few years are hilariously wrong in hindsight, he probably should be writing for The Onion.

I always heard "big hands, big feet". Or something like that.

Yea it's actually not true...but height is for some reason.

I think Georges is going to surprise with his vertical. 34 inches.

Luckily, they didn't invite Woodbury, or they would have had to switch from a tape measure to a ruler to measure his wingspan.

This is spot on.

Leistikow loves his Hawks, and somehow it was worse during basketball season than football season. Reading some of his rah rah tweets and seeing him defensively respond to people questioning Iowa's ranking in both sports this season was entertaining, especially after both end-of-season collapses. I say collapse but I use it loosely because in football it wasn't a collapse. They just finally played someone decent.

I don't read Leistkow at all, but Randy is absolute Iowa State fluff. He wrote something last week about Mike Warren staying in school, even if he ran for 2000 yards! And he wrote it as if it was a reasonable possibility. It's biased. Biased and awful to read.

Randy Peterson was quoting Mike Warren's dad about wanting Mike to finish school even if he had a 2000 yard season. There is plenty of reason to criticize RP, but this was not bias or fluff. It was just quoting a really good source.

Wingspan is going to just blow their minds.

Those hands look way bigger than 9.25". Somebody better check the tape measure.

Wingspan is going to just blow their minds.

Isn't the height to wingspan ratio of Big Georges rather Woodbury-esqe?

 

[IAStubborn]

There's something to be said for knowing who you are. Guys who are role players but believe they are/should be the go-to guy are not what you want (Lance Stephenson springs to mind).

For the nba yes, but for Iowa's best player last year it would have been better for you had he seen himself like the freak he is (and I mean this as in athletic freak, not like the banjo boy in "Deliverance", well then again maybe that was the problem, he saw the wrong inner freak

Gessels nose size is worth a mention here

That's funny, hopefully Georges posts something even better. We all know he has it in him!

Please refrain from comparing Woody to Big Head Georges.

I feel as though Leslie Mann is talking to Woody.

I didn't realize Selden was going pro. Nice.

 

[Cycsk]

Where in Chicago is the NBA combine held? I Googled it and found a few photos, but nothing that identifies the venue.

Something about him rooming with a Jayhawk makes me feel funny inside....

These guys are vying for multi-million dollar contracts . . . yet they have to share rooms?
