The Brackins Factor..

[Drizzle]

This has been brought up by a few other posters in different threads, but I think it warrants its own thread. Which player/players will be the most positively impacted by Brackins returning?? I think we will see a major upgrade from JVB. He should be able to float and take quite a few wide open jumpers if Brackins is doubled. I also expect JVB to be stronger and more comfortable with one year of B12 basketball under his belt. Thoughts?

Everyone is better when Brackins is on the floor if for no other reason than he draws the attention of the defense. It's a lot easier to score 4 on 3 than it is 5 on 5. I mentioned it in another thread, but I think Gilstrap will benefit a lot from this. Not having to be the #1 scoring option right off the bat will let him take the points that come. Hamilton and JVB should both benefit a lot as well.

Very good point! It definitely will not hurt ISU's chances with these two recruits..

Beat me to it. I really hope this helps with them.
