Nunge took a redshirt year to get a dad bod.

Nah, he is just on a weird angle in that pic.

This team has to go through more sun screen than any other team in the NCAA

 

[HerkyHopeful]

3.5/15. 16 with Connor.

Dad bod? Lol.

Fuck you.

 

[douglasbader]

Yeah, 95% of Dad's would love to be built like that.

No shit.

I’m 6-3, 188. Fuck you @CamelTones .

 

[Fletch]

HEY EVERYONE!!!!!!!

 

[Nobody]

This was nice:
Also, Jack got tall.

 

[hawkeyealum]

How old is the youngest mccaffery kid? He looks pretty tall

 

[eclone]

How old is the youngest mccaffery kid? He looks pretty tall

He’s shorter then Fran, but his knees appear to be 4” higher than Fran’s.

This has me rolling and I don't know why. Physical goofyness has a soft spot in my heart

 

[douglasbader]

Jack is an 8th grader, same as Luke Wieskamp. It won't surprise me to see both end up at Iowa as they are good.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

And white.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Are there any additional Wieskamp siblings coming down the pipeline?

That is the last one.

7th.... not that it really matters all that much... he’s a big kid.

Whoops!

That's embarrassing. The third option at Valpo walks in and completely lays waste to our collective varsity.

In...running?

One of these things is not like the other.

No shit, what a terrible take.

 

[Gushawk]

I dunno. It sorta speaks to team athleticism. He probably wouldn’t show up at many Big 10 schools and totally dominate a line drill.

If you are fast, it is very easy to dominate a line drill.

 

[Berzerkenpas]

the most important athletic element in basketball is the ability to put the ball in the basket.

what they do in a line drill doesn't bother me too much.

Iowa was 100th last year in team field-goal percentage...

 

[Gushawk]

It’s similarly symbolic to the shirtless pic or the funny “workout” promo video, imo. We are a weak and slow, but skilled, team.

true. and you also can't run the ball through the basket.

They were 15th in offensive efficiency.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Offense wasn’t the problem with last years team, and being strong/fast matters on defense.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Because Frans practices are notorious for being so physically demanding

having a fucking clue where to be in a zone matters more

[Gushawk]

I love our boyz, but they are weak and slow and will continue to be physically dominated at times in frustrating fashion. Teams that are strong and fast but unskilled would be similarly frustrating.

That and being first in run differential get you one game in the playoffs or ncaas

1. They played two games in the NCAAs. Nearly pulled off a huge upset and improbable comeback in round 2. It was pretty exciting.

2. The Dodgers and Astros lead their respective leagues in run differential. They have each won 95 games, and there is still more than two weeks left in the season.

When ask what he looks for in a player, John Wooden said:

"There are many individual traits, size and shooting among them, that can help a team but having said that I like to have the guy that's quicker than the other guy. "

 

[Shpadoinkle]

Let's say that there are five components that make a great basketball player. At Iowa, you're typically going to get a guy that has three of those. Occasionally you'll get a guy with four.

So yeah, the hawks can recruit a guy who's lightning quick, but he's also going to be a midget, a complete spaz, have no court awareness, can't shoot, can't pass, or some other huge gap in his game. It's just the way it is at Iowa.

 

[Gushawk]

I agree with Shap, but still think our S&C program is almost certainly dogshit.
