ISU Mens BBall practice w McDermott

I wouldnt worry about heighth too much. Quickness and vertical jump can make up for it. When a tall player has the ball they tend to bring it down at some point which makes it easier for a defender to snatch it.

The video ring looks great!

Can we suit up McD?

15 wins in bball would be lightyears ahead of expected 4 win season (Kansas game) in football. Go Hilton magic.

I don't care how many wins we get, I just want to see some fire and competitiveness.

Wow! Great video! LOVE to see man2man defense!!!

**PolkCityClone** · 10-25-2006, 09:36 PM

I can't get the video to play. What do I need to show it?

**ISUCY11** · 10-25-2006, 09:49 PM

Cory Johnson is MUCH bigger than I expected.

Just a fun thing to watch. Fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals. Maybe the football team should take notice.

Cory Johnson looks bigger even than he looked at the summer league games in the Capital City League.

The video got me pumped up for the basketball season. I can't wait to see this team in action!!!

**Psyclone Brian** · 10-26-2006, 12:59 PM

...similar things were said about Tim Floyd's 1st year as coach, look what he did.

**Psyclone Brian** · 10-26-2006, 01:05 PM

This billboard would look good over by I.C..

**HandSanitizer** · 10-26-2006, 01:42 PM

I saw more fundamentals in 5 minutes than I saw all of last year.

**Hasbeen** · 10-26-2006, 01:56 PM

Holy crap! I'm guessing they're working a little harder than last year.

My thoughts exactly. I expected him to play pretty much only at the 3, but if he can handle it, with his size I could see him getting playing time at the 4 as well.

I just checked and he's listed at 6'7" 230 on the roster at cyclones.com. Wasn't he just 6'5" when he inked? Was he brought in to play a 3/4 combo or just the 3? Does he have the skillset to play the 4?

Damn it feels good to be talking basketball again. Damn good.
