I'm a big Holmes fan. He keeps the train on the tracks.
We're a lot more balanced this year. Last year it was basically rely on Brockington to get 20+. Luckily Gabe and Caleb have been more consistent this year, and the additions of Jaren and Osun have been great.Holmes deserves a lot of love. He is exactly what this team needs. Last year, it wouldn’t have been enough. But with the way GK and Grill are playing, Holmes is in the prefect role.
Reminds me of my first thought when I looked at the stats. If you had told me Grill and Kalscheur would combine for 17 points on 6-17 shooting, I would have guessed we lost by 10. The rest of the guys really stepped up today.Holmes deserves a lot of love. He is exactly what this team needs. Last year, it wouldn’t have been enough.

Jaz helps with the press for sure. He knows where to be and can dribble the ball up if necessary. We don’t lose at TT if he plays in that one.Holmes and Tamin are deserving but I went with other because I think Jaz just makes the team look so much smoother when he's on the floor. So glad to have him back.
Give me a Holmes and Osun on this team every year
Holmes actually does a pretty good job as backup PG, considering it’s not his natural position. He’s got a positive assist to TO ratio. If Gabe or Grill had to do it they’d have twice the turnovers. Games where he had trouble are the same ones Lipsey did.My only knock on Holmes is that he can be a turnover machine. Pretty sure he leads the team in turnovers. I hold my breath whenever Lipsey is on the bench and Holmes becomes our primary ball handler. Like others have said, getting Kunc back should help in getting the ball up the court safely.
Holmes and Lipsey are both averaging around 3.0-3.2 turnovers per 40 minutes. They both are great at getting the ball into the paint. Holmes is forced to create a shot on his own sometimes so he is going to turn it over once and a while. ISU leads the nation in turnover margin so our guards deserve nothing but praise.My only knock on Holmes is that he can be a turnover machine. Pretty sure he leads the team in turnovers.
