Northwestern Exhibition Recap with Jake Brend
- Thread starter JakeBrend
- Start date
My take away was Martinelli hooks the defender every time he touches the ball and I can't for the life of me figure out the refs don't call it.
Toure looks great. Now I’m worried if we‘ll be able to keep him in the transfer portal/NIL window.
I feel like this team has a ton of "potential"... it will be all about if they can ever realize it.
Lot of "ifs"... but...
-if Tamin can come back and be the Tamin we all know...
-if Milan can start being the player we think he can... or even 80% of what we thought he can be...
-if Heise can be a positive factor like he was today...
and..
-if one big man asserts himself as the starter...
I think this team could be very special.
I think Nelson is definitely a playmaker that can create and get to the rim... and Toure is a stud in the making folks... he's for real. I think Batemon might be a year away.... but if he starts finding himself and can be a contributor... then really watch out.
