I’ll take it

I bet you would.

Why am I seeing criticism of the new court? It’s fucking clean and looks great.

 

[BBK]

Howard’s ceiling is probably senior year Eric May.

I'll kill you

 

[BBK]

This is right

Beebs is right guys

You trying to fuck me?

 

[BBK]

Why don’t we think Coleman will start?

You know what kind of bee doesn't fly?

A newbee

 

[BBK]

I look forward to Banks coming back and starting every game for which he isn't hungover.

And lest we feel the full wrath of Doug

 

[BBK]

LOL

Combs
Sage
Banks
Koch
Manyawu

Just imagine

 

[Gushawk]

Yeah, he's solidly the #8 guy. It's really just down to matchups for Big Pear and if Harris or Coon can be a surprise they can't keep off the court similar to Sage last year.

Much like conference re-alignment, the Iowa Basketball team will be made up of pods.

Combs / Coleman / Howard in the guard pod.

Sage / Koch / Thompson in the wing forward pod.

McKeever / Manyawu in the post center pod.

Big Pear / Harris / Coons in the "we'll use you as needed or you're here until we figure out how good you are and trust you" pod.

I think this is right, but Sage splits time about equally between the guard and wing pods. That should open up a few minutes for the better of Harris and Coon in the wing pod (and probably take a few minutes from mostly Howard in the guard pod).

I also can’t tell whether it’s legit or because beat writers like fluffing him because people like me body shame him, but the offseason messaging seems to be that Big Pear has made HUGE STRIDES. If that’s true and not bullshit, I think Cam could see a pretty big reduction in minutes.

Those are a ripoff, imo.

It’s wonderful to have offseason hoops hope and excitement again. I’d totally forgotten what it even felt like. It nearly rivals football.

 

[KitKatApples]

I bet you would.

 

[Debit One]

Of course he will. He started last year too. Who’s going to start over Coleman? The other PG on the roster? Howard at wing and have Combs play point?

You and I are apparently two of a select few as everyone else seems to be complaining about the court at Carver.

A key element of daddy ball is to protect your kids from having any actual responsibility in order to justify keeping them in the rotation because the team is winning.
