I've been impressed with the improvement from Jones. Maybe with an off-season to get stronger (and work on FTs) he could he a nice interior player. I might prefer him at a 4 instead of the only post player on the floor though.
But you're right that we need to be looking for another post player or two. I'd imagine that they'd be able to market Hunter's passing skills as a reason for an offensive post player to look at ISU.
On the postgame show Walters asked Jaz if he was coming back and Jaz responded "If TJ wants me back, I'll be back".
Miami's a lot looser in how they play but they imo looked like UConn in 2014 or just one of those teams that's had the players all this time and is playing on a different level now.
I had a bad feeling when the guy held up the '3' eyes really early. They're in a flow.
I hope he is invited back! Gives a hell of an effort throughout the game.
It stings but I think Jaz is smart enough to know that TJ is going to try to recruit over him. And he damn well better try (no offense to Jaz I loved watching him play this year)
Why do people keep citing Miami’s three point shooting? They didn’t shoot well the last two games, but tonight they shot under their season % (barely).
I read that as respect and deference to his leader and coach. And with Jaz saying it, I have zero concerns.
Its also probably the life of any player that isn't elite at their level. Every coach is always trying to upgrade the talent.
My comment wasn't directed at you, I figured you were quoting him pretty directly. I just meant it's kind of a bummer to hear him talking about it in those terms. Guy gave us everything he had. That's the business these days.
We desperately need some 3 and D guys. TJ is always going to want guys that can play D, which I like, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t also be able to shoot.
Look at a team like St. Peter’s…. if they didn’t have the shooters they have, they probably don’t even make the NIT.

Because they still hit way better than lately and the threes were really timely.
I'm genuinely curious if people think Jaz won't be back next year? That dude was glue....he didn't score a ton, but he gave effort, effective effort, on every play.
I would be shocked if TJ doesn't want him back. Advanced metrics have him as our 2nd best player. Not sure I'd fully agree, I'd give Hunter the edge, but between his very efficent, albeit not prolific, shooting, and solid defense he's a for sure keep for next year.
Do you not think TJ wants to get some shooters in there?
His whole deal this year was just to get guys in to play D to give ISU a chance and it worked.
Now's the time to build off of it.
I'm listening to 100.3 on iheart and all of a sudden it went to the end of brockington interview and next Otz.
