The impact of Vette (or any Iowa HS player)

[Drive4cy]

I am PRETTY sure he transferred to UNI and sat out this past year maybe? I think he could do something here in Cedar Falls.

As Do I. The kid has plenty of talent.

Mike Bergman did not have a great career at ISU. He started a game of 2 before Christmas his soph year, and got hurt. Transfered somewhere? Spanich played HS ball somwhere in the "corridor" Cedar Rapids-Iowa City? I think, but it seems to me he transfered back to the midwest to finish his college career. Really, the media picks the Mr. Basketball doesn't it? And they put the most emphasis on who offered, just like the recruiting services. I would have put my vote (if I had one) to Barz from Johnston. Vette and his team won the state tournement, Barz didn't so the nod goes to Vette.

I thought Bergman transferred to a D2 school like South Dakota or South Dakota State.

EDIT: It was North Dakota...

98 Newman Roosevelt; Northwestern/Drake; I was in grad school at NU at the time and saw a ton of his games; he started right out of the box; was 5-5 from 3 in the first half in an eventual OT lost to Knight and Indiana, then students started chanting "Daavviddd Newmmaan, Daavviddd Newmmaan", so he jacked up an off balance 3 from the corner and missed badly. Kevin O'Neil pulled him and cussed up a blue streak. The big post Evan Eshmeyer graduated after Newman's FR year and they cratered after that.

Newman went to Hoover not Roosevelt.

Hmmmm..... Interesting comments. Let me see if I understand. Someone starts a thread titled "The impact of Vette", and we can only opine if we think he will be a major contributor. Otherwise, we should just keep a lid on our opinions.

I see nothing in any of the posts in this thread that portrays Vette in a negative or deragatory manner.

Well said.

We each have our opinions about the current and incoming players. As long as it doesn't get mean/derogatory as PsychedClone stated, there shouldn't be an issue with it.

Are those statistics supposed to make people feel good about dis'ing Vette?
