Go create another thread on the fball board about how your life sucks, loser.
here are top players this season using Rivals ratings
JR 4* #111 6'11 Garza
RSSO 4* 6'5 Connor
SO 4* #42 6'6 Wieskamp
FR 4* #75 6'8 Patrick
this just shows how big a hypocrite that @dukedevilz is
then you add in 7'0 Nunge and 6'8 Pemsl to the front court this makes a very formidal Front court.

Why is he a hypocrite? Because he doesn't think Iowa is a FF team, and or a team capable of reaching the FF? Dude---Iowa hasn't been to a FF in 39 years. Thats not being a hypocrite...
Thats called being smart..

no he is a hypocrite by saying Iowa doesn't have good enough players or any top 50, top 100 or anybody in the top 150,Why is he a hypocrite? Because he doesn't think Iowa is a FF team, and or a team capable of reaching the FF? Dude---Iowa hasn't been to a FF in 39 years. Thats not being a hypocrite...
Thats called being smart..
also saying that because Illinois's players will improve then implies that Iowa players won't,
to bad that he ignores these that could be this years starting 5
FR PG 4* by ESPN 6'0 Troussaint
RSSO CG 4* Top 100 6'5 Connor
JR SF 4* top 100 6'6 Wieskamp
FR F 4* top 100 6'8 Patrick
JR 4* C top 100 6'11 Garza
that still = 4 top 100 players that could start. the only ones that have not played are Toussaint or Patrick.
if Patrick plays like Wieskamp. THIS team will be far better than you or anybody WANT THEM TO BE.
this was to show each player in how they match up in showing who was/is better and nothing more.He actually posted the Heights of both players
this season they could go head to head or Nunge could get the head to head matchup
as Fran is going to positionless BB. as these can play these positions
Toussaint PG/SG or 1/2
Evelyn PG/SG or 1/2
Fredrick PG/SG/WG or 1/2/3
Connor PG/SG/WG or 1/2/3
Wierskamp SG/SF or 2/3
Patrick SG/SF/PF or 2/3/4 or even the 5 depending on the matchup
Till SF or 3
Kriener PF/C or 4/5
Garza F/C or 4/5
Nunge F/C or 4/5
these last 3 all can shoot out past the 3 point line, so the all can play inside or outside.
Pemsl SF/PF/C or 3/4/5 depending on the matchups is suspened right now but will start practicing with the team on Monday.
as a FR he started 17 games
19.3 mpg
8.9 ppg 4th on the team
5.0 rpg with these
Cook 5.3 rpg
Jok 5.5 rpg
Baer 5.8 rpg
a team effort in going after rebounds WHICH is how Fran wants it to be, play as a team win as a team or play as a team and lose as a team, that way nobody has to carry the team or shoulder the blame by themselves.
novel concept isn't it.
No one cares about Iowa. They will finish 10th and Fran will have 5 Frantrums throughout the year.
Seems mostly like a CYA policy that's nearly impossible to enforce.
Unless people are posting their slips on social media, no one's getting punished.
rutgers
Iowa
Northwestern
Minnesota
Nebraska
Michigan
Illinois
Purdue
OSU
Wisc

that was easy.
He didn't say any of that.
Do you really think people concern themselves with Iowa?
Really?
Love the Texans/Chiefs over, Texas +10.5 and Atlanta/Arizona over.
Actually, they can include it in the student code of conduct, which is separate from anything they can do from a legal standpoint.
Frankly, I think it is being done to discourage rather than eliminate student betting but it's also being put there if something stupid happens (like a student threatens a student athlete because of a wager or something), they'll have recourse.
I'm sure other administrations are reviewing and I'd be stunned if some schools don't follow suit (and perhaps some in other states already have).
I mean this is bad, but good job. IU second? Maryland 1st? PSU 3rd? Wisconsin 5th? Three of the four likely will be on the bubble or not make the tournament.
I don't believe I said any of that - or "implied" any of that.
Wait.Wait. Wait. I said Wieskamp could be a top 50 player?! That doesn't sound like something I would write. I distinctly remember saying Iowa sucks ass and can only hope to compete with the likes of Nebraska and Northwestern.
Also, fun fact to consider: bubble teams can make the tournament.
I even said you guys could make the 2nd round. Which I think is still very possible. If you guys make it the Round of 64 or 32, someone has to be improving to compensate for the losses of Cook, Bohannon, Moss, and Baer.
Could this be the reason why I have a little more faith in Illinois? Is there a little difference between a team that was led by two freshmen from the previous season - and a team that returns 8 of their top 9 players? Iowa will be fine. But, they are losing 4 of their top 6 scores. Wieskamp absolutely could have a huge surge in productivity if he's hitting on all cylinders.
This again? I'm starting to repeat myself. Although, I'm sure you can appreciate that aspect.
I don't have any issues with journalists excluding Illinois from the top 25. I realize that's a little bit of a reach on my part. But, I think they're more than good enough to at least be considered a top 60 team. That's my issue. I openly said Iowa was a bubble team. Illinois, in my mind, should at least be considered a bubble team, if nothing else.
No doubt! A lot of exciting teams to see this year. I'm even a little intrigued by Rutgers.
Guys, I have one request, let me make the Big 10 In-season thread, so I can troll Gil in it the entire season.
Pretty sure he just put together a random list that has Mich outside the top 5.
My thing is it isn’t like students/faculty just now began betting on Purdue. Wether online or through a bookie the threatening a student athlete thing could have happened anytime since the creation of sports.
why? because he plays for Michigan
lets compare a few stats
played 4+ mpg and still didn't avg dbl digits and was the 4th leading scorer
shot these
52.1% from the field a little lass than Garza
pretty even on shooting 3's
the major difference is in the FT shooting
Garza shot 80+% from the FTL
Teske shot 56+% from the FTL
this alone would put Teske on the bench in crunch time. because Teske would get the Hack a Shaq fouling approach.
We'll have to make several. Pretty sure I'm on the "list" now too.
Check big ten only stats it’s way more of an even comparison.
Completely random.
Seriously though, and I think preseason lists are pointless but here goes. I've read nothing about anyone or remember anything about anyone. Just an off the hip prediction.
MSU
Maryland
OSU
Purdue
UW
Michigan
Illinois
IU
Rutgers
Nebraska
Iowa
Minnesota
PSU
Northwestern
I look forward to this Maryland roster not getting a double bye in the B1G tourney and getting a six seed, again, in the NCAA tourney.
What gets lost in just looking at stats is that defense is actually 50% of the game
Edit: And yes, Teske is miles ahead of Garza on the defensive end
