The Next Jared Homan

[SchuellerClones]

When is McDermott going to get the next Jared Hohman? watching him play was great basketball, he might not have had all the talent in the world but he hustled and was physical. seemed like every game i watched him play he had the other team on the verge of punching him. i think that is what this team is missing a big physical pressance in the middle! thoughts?

I think if Big Ham get's an attitude they can be almost the same player. Also does it have to be a white guy or can we throw L.A. Pomlee in there. He could be a mean guy and we don't know it. Just by the looks of him I would not mess with him.

Who is Jared Hohman?

I have been saying this since McDermott took over. I heard from a player on the team that Christopherson is pound for pound the strongest player on the team when it comes to the weight room and it isn't even close. I would like to have a big man that could bench his own weight and then I would be happy.

IMO, Big Ham has the potential to be a much better player than Homan was.

Hopefully Pomlee has an attitude. He could be a force. I can't see Hamilton being that kind of physical player, who knows though? I think McDermott tried to recruit that type of player in Clinton Mann, and obviously didn't workout.

More importantly when will we get the next Marcus Fizer?

Homan turned into a decent player by his senior year, but he was a bit of project getting there.

Tough minded guy..

I agree. I've got to say I laughed really heard when I saw the title to this thread. Of all the people we've had at ISU, we should choose to look for the next Jared Homan?

Ham is very similar to Homan...IMO, he has a higher ceiling than Homan.

 

[bmuff]

Ham doesn't LOOK mean like Homan did, but I'd bet that he had more dunks and maybe even points than JH did as a FR.

You can be as tough minded as you want but it doesn't matter if you aren't strong and physical. Ham needs to get a lot stronger and start being agressive to be anywhere near where Homan finished his career.

I hope so. Big Ham needs to get mean. Homan was mean. Can you teach mean?

Ham's way ahead of where Homan was when he was a freshman.

I think that might have something to do with the quality of team that they played on as freshman. Ham was asked to do a little more than Homan as a freshman therefore his production was up a little.

Brackins is close enough. Give me another Tinsley, however . . .

I am keeping my eyes peeled for the next Clint Varley

 

[Cyznutz]

I'm waiting for the Skogs!

 

[CrossCyed]

Homan had a motor, and he was enough of a ***** that it helped out a bit.

Him versus UNC in 2005 was still awesome to watch, cause he went toe to toe with Sean May and didn't back down.

 

[Aclone]

I'd much, much, much, much rather have the next Kelvin Cato.

That's what I'm thinking. If LA Pomlee develops a Big XII-type body, he'll be a force to be dealt with. Guy was excellent at defense in HS. Hopefully that carries over.
