This guy was perfect for their culture. A dirty player. Not sure what will be a better fit for him.
You really never know. Terrific college players have been duds. He has the body and athleticism and if he can shoot it well he will find a spot.
I think he was a perfect fit for their culture they way that he constantly tripped over his own you know what...
Honestly I think so. He has a better profile than the PGs he usually lands. He's closer to Devyn Marble (who fell into his lap) than Geselle, Toussaint, and Bohannon. He's probaby a significant upgrade. I hope I'm wrong.
Well, he won't be the focal point of a team, so he's never going to have a top defender on him and he's never going to get double teamed. Also, the NBA has freedom of movement. Nothing like the college game.
NBA is so much more physical though. Officiating is better but you don’t get bumps (outside of a few players).
Hokroaches probably upset their players aren't leaving the right way - through the transfer portal.
You are 100% spot on.
Credit to him, Keegan grew into a college shot maker. I think he has work to do in order to become a NBA level shot maker. If you go back and look objectively, he rattled in most of his makes. NBA defense will disrupt you just enough to turn those into misses.
NBA makes just sound and look different. They barely move the net and make a more pure sound, even the swishes. That's why you don't see many NBA jumpshots rattle home as opposed to college if you sit down and watch closely. It doesn't get talked about enough.
Losing Toussaint will hurt more than people think. He brought a toughness that Iowa desperately needed. They are a soft team that doesn't play defense, and he did those things. Perkins is the only other one that really does.
Yeah that’s true. He was certainly a player you’d rather have on your team than play against.
This is certainly a take. Being in the state of Iowa didn't seem to cause problems for Fred, Prohm, or TJ
Not sure what all six you got last year but where would you rank him now compared to those six. Obviously Brockington was way better, but not sure about the rest.
Izaiah, Gabe, Grill, Jaz, Tristan and Jones.
Not a chance he’s better than Izaiah, Gabe or Grill. Tristan is a weird one so (maybe) him and I’d rather have Jones for our scheme. So out of the 7 including himself, I’d rate him 6 or 7.
That wasn’t my point. There were some pretty good programs after him. I was actually surprised when Fran landed him.
I mean, he's not wrong if you consider it as "Iowa, the school" not "Iowa, the state". There's a bunch of reasons for that.
If I had to choose right now between the 6 we brought in and Rebraca, he would be in the 5-7 range, objectively.
1. Brockington
2. Kunc
3. Kalscheur
4. Grill
5. Robert Jones
6. Rebraca
7. Eneruna
Tristan has more talent than everyone but Brockington on this list but he hasn’t been able to put it all together. Bob Jones/Rebraca is a coin flip in my opinion. Bob can’t finish but plays D. Rebraca struggles defensively.
