Next Year Big 4 BBall

**HandSanitizer** · 03-11-2007, 09:43 PM

Drake looses ALOT of Players right? They will not be very good. ( no idea what their line up looks like for next yer)

UNI loses 2 out of their 3 Best Players, McKowen and Stout. They do have some nice young talent, but nobody that can take a game over except Coleman (if you can get him the ball)

Iowa Loses Henderson and Haluska (starters: Freeman, Johnson, Smith, Tate, Looby)
They do get a nice 7 footer next year.

ISU returns everyone but Gray and had a nice class coming in.
PG-(Either MacIntosh, Garrett, Bristor)
SG-Taylor
F-W. Johnson
PF-Thompson
C-Hubalek
Don't know how you keep a senior Clark out of the line up, but I don't know

Beas Hamga class of 2008, there is talk about him next year but most possibly 08.

Sorry that is for 2008. Athletic 4 star 7 footer.

On paper, looks like we'll have the best team in the state next season. Of course, we all know games aren't played on paper, they're played inside TV sets. So we shall see.

I'm excited for next season, no doubt.

So who is Iowa adding for the class of 2007?

Three 3 stars.

Maybe they ought to see if they can get an exemption from the NCAA and play a little Big 4 tournament seeing as how none of them have anything else going on.

That Jake guy is taller and skinnier than Diante Garret - 6-5 and 165.

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...What about Craig Brackins? I know he'll only be a freshman, but I honestly think he will start over Alex Thompson...We should beat Drake and UNI fairly easy next year, especially since the UNI game is at Hilton (ISU always shoots crappy when at the UNI-Dome.) Guard Eric Coleman and that'll be the end of their hopes. McKowen and Stout are gone like you said, Stout will be missed WAY more than McKowen tho...Even though they aren't even an NIT team, I still worry about iowa...I think our advantage again is because the game is in Hilton...

no way does brackins start over thompson..if he does i will be very very impressed, the reason i say this is because they say thompson is the best post player we have right now, and also he knows the system already..do you remember how long it took for our team to learn coach Mac's system...

"no way does brackins start over thompson..if he does i will be very very impressed," (quote) It is my hope that Brackins starts over Hubalek alongside of Thompson and Garrett and Brister start over Taylor and McIntosh

**mj4cy** · 03-12-2007, 09:14 AM

McD will find the best 5 and I will trust him in doing that. We will be a deep team next year.

How is a last minute addition (Brister) going to start over a senior that was our primary scoring threat??

With a solid point guard, Mike Taylor will thrive. Fewer turnovers due to the fact the ball will be in his hands less. I would love to see him running off screens for some wide open threes, instead of trying to dribble around picks for contested threes.
