That's all the way at the other end of 380. Francis doesn't have that kind of time.
Former UNI guard Nate Heise taking visit to Ames Monday (committed)
- Thread starter Connor_Ferguson
- Start date
Yeah. I wouldn't see it as a problem for either player (Heise & Indrusaitus).
Both of their roles will/have been spelled out to them. The majority of Freshmen aren't major contributors their first season. Milan's an obvious exception.
And Heise has 2 years left so when CuJo and KG leave, more PT opens up for both players.
Man - I know C. Jones played starter minutes even though he came off the bench, but I think it's going to be hard to not have him in the starting 5 next year based on his B12 and tournament performances.
All of this activity suggests TJ is planning to play Milan at the 4 a lot more this year.
Which I think is a problem defensively. We were not a great rebounding team even with 2 of King/Ward/Jones on the floor. I think we got away with it because our forced TO rate was best in the country.
But all three of them are better defensively than Milan and better rebounders as well. Maybe TJ takes another step towards offensive/defensive balance.
I don’t know…

What are all these posts about jones not starting. That’s crazy he should definitely be starting.
Broke it, had a pin put in, first practice after he was cleared the pin popped and he had to have a second procedure.
Yes but it didn't have an impact on his play at all this year.
My initial reaction while reading this confirms that I made the correct choice by not becoming a doctor.
How often did we have Ward and Jones on the floor together? Didn’t Milan already get some minutes at the 4?
I don’t think Milan getting 10 to 15 more minutes per game at the 4 would be that big of change defensively. If we lose a little at the 4 in that regard, we gain some defending the wing via a more athletic player
Having opposing 4’s trying to muscle Milan in the paint isn’t the worse thing. Better than getting beat on the perimeter
And it would pull the opposition 4 away from the paint
It was usually Rob and King, Rob and Hassan or Hassan and Tre.
Coaches will decide if he helps the team more by having a scorer on the floor at all times. He gave the team a lift many times coming off the bench. Heise could also fill the same role. This is from a game last Dec.
“Heise closed Tuesday's 74-55 win over Prairie View A&M with 25 points (6-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 35 minutes.”
