godspeadI'm going to keep posting in it but am going to try and be more positive on both sides.

Your takes aren't always bad, but this one about Bolton being a poor player is. He's a slightly shorter, slightly poorer shooting, yet slightly better defending version of Lindell Wigginton. He's only a sophomore, and he's already on equal footing as one of the highest ranked recruits in ISU history. He's young, so he's not going to always play clean and consistent. You're gonna take the bad with the good at this point. He's been a big key to our offense, without him defenses would suffocate the hell out of Haliburton and we would have nobody else on the roster to help facilitate offense.Neither one is a strong defender. Iowa plays a lot of zone which works well for them. ISU continues to allow Bolton to get exploited. Bolton is the double whammy....poor defense and inefficient offense.
Frederick is not a bad defender at all. As much as you watch you should know this. If he was the worst defender on our team we would be way way better.Frederick is the worst defender on your team lol
I've watched a lot of Iowa basketball and I'd agree. I'm not sure who the worst defender would be.Frederick is not a bad defender at all. As much as you watch you should know this. If he was the worst defender on our team we would be way way better.

That zone hides a multitude of sins for Iowa defensively. To their credit, they have been doing quite well with the zone this year. They still give up a ton of points though.Frederick is not a bad defender at all. As much as you watch you should know this. If he was the worst defender on our team we would be way way better.
This thread has sports tourettes.
He was bad overall vs top 45 defenses. 1-5 isn't good is it?
I mean if you wanna pick nits and move TCU to a good game column, be my guest. I'll move the Oklahama St. game to the bad game column as Purdy really pulled a Purdy in the game. Good stats, but cost his team the game with TO after TO.
The argument starts at "he was bad against Baylor, TCU, Iowa, and OU" and then transitions to "well he didn't complete that one pass that could've won the game".Pick nits? He was 19-24 for 247 yards and 2 TD's passing plus had 12 carries for 102 yards and 2 TD's rushing vs TCU. He was phenomenal that game
So you think he was bad vs Oklahoma? He threw for 5 TD's and ran for another. Lol
He has the worst defensive rating on the team
So Garza is a better defender then Young?
Use whatever numbers you want. I think he's a pretty good defender and one hell of a player overall. He's better than most hawk fans anticipated (including me) and only a RS Freshman. Should have a really good career.He has the worst defensive rating on the team

Classic Purdy. Pad his stats, and not come through in the clutch.
Do you think he was bad vs Oklahoma?
Yikes you're bad at this
I'm not bashing Bolton. He is being asked to be your 2nd or sometimes even 1st scoring option. I think that's a lot to ask of him at this point. Fredrick is comfortably Iowa's 3rd option and that role seems to fit him perfectly. He has shown he is more than just a spot up shooter.Bolton is a pretty good defender and one hell of a player overall. Not sure if this was the 2nd or 3rd time he got weekly hardware from the Big 12
