Can’t wait to see the Toure vs Daryn Peterson matchup when we play kansas
Toure
- Thread starter IndyClone15
- Start date
And at a pace in the 350s.
He is a great offensive guard in college. He just got matched up against an elite defender.
Not to mention that apparently Coach Rogers is also fluent in French!
I was in school and saw most of Fred's home games. Man, he sure was good from jump - especially the game against Acie Earl and the ******* hoks (98-84) in 1991!
Julo had a great freshman year with Fred. 12ppg 6rpg almost 3 apg
Rules are guidelines give him honorary state of Iowa citizenship and let the NIL waterfall flow.
Technically, what is now Iowa was once part of France!Rules are guidelines give him honorary state of Iowa citizenship and let the NIL waterfall flow.
As freshman I recall seeing, I thought of Grayer comp not long after Toure's first few games. Different position and role, obviously different era, but the main mental link is thinking how he "plays like he's already a junior" (for lack of better description).
THT looked a bit that way, too, although seems like he may have been a little less consistent.
Barry Stevens did pretty well right out of the gate, too. He kind of needed to carry more of scoring load in those days.
THT had good ball skills but seemed to kind of tune and out and I don't remember defending all that well.
Toure seems to be 'defend first, let the offense come with the game' type.
THT had superior physical abilities, but seemed to lack some of the mental maturity/focus. He was a freak of nature with his size, length, and scoring ability. I recall the intensity not being there entirely.
THT ended up getting benched by the end of his freshman season if I remember right? He did seem lazy at times, Toure is definitely a much better defender.
I think he still started most of the time but I know he'd get pulled after so many turnovers or drives to the hoop into traffic.
He was kind of a microcosm for how that team operated.
He was unique with his size and skill set. Reminded me a little of Draymond Green at MSU.
Toure is obviously the biggest surprise of the freshman class, followed by Dom. I was really scared of what our backup point guard situation was going to look like. And he's a glove on D
I found this and put it in a different thread, but this one is probably more appropriate:
Toure (or Touré) is a prominent West African surname and name meaning “strong warrior,” “brave,” or derived from a Soninke word for “elephant,” common among Mandinka, Soninke, and other peoples in Mali, Guinea, Senegal, and Ivory Coast, signifying heritage, leadership, and resilience

Faites voir.
Just for the record, the Louisiana Purchase was not a technicality.
Yeah, I hate nitpickers, too.
