[CurdMan]

Pat is going to be one of the best Hawkeye players of all time.

My hope is that he can be a better shooting Aaron White

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

I was hoping we wouldn’t need Patrick this season but with all the defections/injuries he needs to be ready to produce if the Hawks are gonna make the dance. Joe T, too.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Pat is going to be one of the best Hawkeye players of all time.

My hope is that he can be a better shooting Aaron White

That would be one of the best players of all time

Absolutely and I don’t think it’s out of reach

jeez, can we check the brake pressure?

Pat is going to be one of the best Hawkeye players of all time.

My hope is that he can be a better shooting Aaron White

That’s exactly what he is. Better off the dribble as well

Exactly? Including in terms of toughness and ability to get off the floor?

That doesn’t come through on the tape, imo.

Yep. I look forward to the return of the pale skinned, floppy haired backdoor lob

Lol

 

[KitKatApples]

Yea I'd rather he sucked to because his dad coaches the team

I'm trying to manage my expectations, but ...

What?

 

[douglasbader]

 

[Gushawk]

Any strong two foot jumping footage?

 

[Mo T]

That dunk video was something else. He's going to be a nice player, but that video sucked.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

TWO FOOT DUNKS ONLY PLZ

 

[Gushawk]

TWO FOOT DUNKS ONLY PLZ

Relevant in light of White comparison.

I see more Utoff than White in the vids, which is fine. Don’t see him coming in and regularly dunking in the Big Ten out of half court sets like White did.

 

[26.2]

Pat is going to be one of the best Hawkeye players of all time.

You dumb fuck

 

[Hawkstrat]

I think he's going to be a good player, but I also think his freshman season will be a struggle.

 

[Wanderer]

Pat is going to be one of the best Hawkeye players of all time.

Lol

I'm not sure what's so LOL about this. Obviously, there were great players in the 80's/90's and before, but he's the 4th highest rated recruit since 2000. He's a perfect fit for Fran's style in that he's long, mobile and can both pass and shoot it. Because of his body type, he also will most likely be here for all 4 years provided Fran is. Maybe the "all-time" was a stretch, but there have not been a lot of great players here for the past 20+ years. He can certainly be in the conversation over that period of time.

Yea but his dad is the coach.

 

[Billy Butters]

TWO FOOT DUNKS ONLY PLZ

Pat is going to be great but that is one of the things that separated White. His stand still vertical was great and made those lobs effortless and made him a great rebounder.

They are totally different players though. I'm most excited about Pat's ability of the dribble which was non-existent for White outside of flopping to get calls.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Uthoff was an elite shooter. Pat is not.

Patrick will make a living at the foul line though, just like white.

 

[Swingin' Dick Stanzi]

The two foot vertical will continue to improve as he gets stronger. You’re comparing the JR/SR version of White to a kid who just graduated high school- not really a fair comparison.

The thing that really separates White was his 7’ wingspan, whereas Patrick’s is only around 6’6” or 6’7” IIRC.

 

[Bovert]

Who will lead this year's team in dunks anyway? I mean it's gotta be Patrick or Kriener, right? Will either of them get to 20 dunks on the season?

 

[douglasbader]

Wieskamp.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Garza.

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

Garza.

 

[douglasbader]

I think Wieskamp will average about 1 per game. Patrick, if he gets the minutes, could easily lead them in dunks.

Wieskamp.

I think he's less likely, but he's one of the few in the conversation. Would make for an interesting wager/pool. I'd bet on Patrick. I assume Kriener, Wieskamp, Garza, and Nunge would be the only other possible options

 

[Bovert]

I think Wieskamp will average about 1 per game. Patrick, if he gets the minutes, could easily lead them in dunks.

If Joe picks up his aggression and drives that much and that strongly it'll be a fun year

 

[HawkLax6]

Tyler Cook led the team with 47 dunks last year. Kriener was second with 10 and Wieskamp was third with 6.

 

[Shawneemicks]

As long as Shawnee is allowed to count practice I’ll go with 48 dunks for Pat this season.

 

[douglasbader]

Tyler Cook led the team with 47 dunks last year. Kriener was second with 10 and Wieskamp was third with 6.

That should tell you everything you need to know about Moss.

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

Tyler Cook led the team with 47 dunks last year. Kriener was second with 10 and Wieskamp was third with 6.

So Tyler also had more missed dunks than the second most dunker?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

There’s no way joe only had 6 and Luka had 5 or less

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

There’s no way joe only had 6 and Luka had 5 or less

Garza had like 2 dunks on the season. He is the lay-up king.

He dunks easy, but his ankle was fucked up and he lost most of his lift.

He’s 6’11. I hope he dunks easy. I didn’t say he couldn’t dunk, I said he doesn’t dunk.

He does though and did as a freshman. He didn't last year because he was hurt.

There isn't any Iowa player that will average a dunk/game.

/I'll eat a bowl of "insert name" 's poop if it happens.

Yeah, yeah, the dumb Face App thing:
But he posted this version on his Instagram story last night:


So I realize the odds weren't great that he'd be able to play this year, but if he's already talking about staying for two more years....

All I've heard so far is

Spoiler

the coaches absolutely love Toussaint and he's better than they expected. He's still a freshman (obviously), so it could be a roller coaster at times, but it sounds very promising.
