Not at all like White. White has shown no post moves. McKay's shot also looks better than White's, despite White hitting a couple against us.

Was this when Indian Hills played at Marshalltown CC? If not, I walked away from that game with the same exact opinion. (Although I was still excited for Hogue)
Nader looked great this summer. Wide shoulders and very strong around the basket on defense and with the ball in his hands. Surprisingly quick moves on offense. Also, seemed like he was having a great time with the team, even though he wouldn't play D1 for another year. Maybe he was just happy to be out of Dekalb and on a good team.
Fred and Abdel will use this year to improve his shot, just as most of the transfers have done. Secondly, Nader was the all-everything on offense for his team last year. He'll have way better spacing in order to get quality shots, when he's on the floor with Matt Thomas, Niang, Hogue, Morris, Naz, McKay and others.
It was the Southwest CC game I think? Terry Carrrol team...that game in Ottumwa. Seriously, Hogue was not impressive. Totally different player at ISU.
As long as giving up that dunk isn't allowing wide open 3's and keeping the clamps on the likes of RDM and Gessell I'll take it. You can't stop everything.
Ya I don't think we need to put anyone on him and he will still probably go scoreless.... It will almost be as if he isn't even playing for Iowa next year.....
I liked Hogue out of Indian Hills for sure, but I think McKay is a better player. McKay can finish at the basket better than both Hogue or Ejim, although those 2 are both good at finishing. In the very small amount of video I've seen, he seems to have better feel and instincts than Hogue, along with more length. Almost more like an Aaron White with dreads.
Wonder what we'll do with the 4 scholarships for the 2015-2016 season. If everything stays the same (no attrition) then we'll lack post depth, which is a concern, but the starters would make the best group in the Big XII and one of the best in ISU history.
However....Give up dunks when you're already beaten rather than foul? Sure seemed like it against Iowa, and in the end, it mattered.
Like the Psiclone said he was fouled on the Iowa one. The Michigan one was his first game back and it was a putback. He has had some bad ones but everyone does. I'm sure you have tripped. Does that mean that you aren't very good at walking.
I think its tough to tell by the way IHCC plays, I've seen them once a year for about 10 years (when they play at Iowa Western) and with their depth its always someone else stepping up, its almost never the hyped guys. McKay did look really good the 2 times I saw him play though, probably the best athlete on the floor. I don't see the Vroman comparison, McKay is a athlete where JV was a banger. Aaron White is actually a better comparison.
Geez, defensive much? Calm down, my first sentence said he finished well; I just pointed out he happened to have bricked a couple of dunks (which is no different than missing any other shot).
Also, Georges never misses dunks
