Gilstrap

[Cydkar]

In the first 6 games he has scored 21, 24, 22, 22, and 24 points. No stats for one of the games.

Me likey.

[Cardinal&Gold11]

I would like to see what is FG% is in those games to.., But I do like that he can score!

[cybsball20]

They play my old team in a couple of weeks... I should be able to get a pretty good report...

[tejasclone]

Hopefully he can score like that against Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Oklahoma State, etc...

[ICclone23]

What is most impressive is he scored 24 last game and the final score was 60-58. At first when I saw him averaging 23 a game I figured it was a JUCO that put up 90 points a game, but it looks like they slow it down and play some D.

Hopefully he can do that! That would be great to have someone who could score when they wanted to against the big guys

Scoring is nice--but he's going to be our one long, lean quick guy to shut down opposing wings, too.

hes a piece to the puzzle that we really dont have this season with wesley leaving.

to me the McD offense works best when you have these checklist of items
1. A big man who can command a double team... you really only need 1 scoring big (Brackins)
2. 3-5 guys who can knock down open 3's (Eik, JVB, Lucca, Haluska, Petey)
3. A point guard that doesnt turn the ball over, and can penetrate and distribute... not necassarily a scorer (DG.. this season not last year)
4. One really athletic forward that can attack the rim, create his own shot (would have been wes, but no one can do that for us)

...gilstrap addresses this next season, then in the 2010 class we either have HB coming in, or hopefully our backup plan pulls through if HB goes elsewhere

I think you just wrote out every basketball coach's Christmas wish list right there.

[scubapohl1]

As soon as they get back in town (Panama City), I plan on going to some games. I've been a season ticket holder in Ames for the past several years and haven't missed many games at Hilton (before I moved) so I think I can give a pretty good report.

well look at his UNI teams
1. Grant Stout and Eric Coleman... good inside scorers
2. Jacobson and a lot of other whos job was to shoot
3. Brooks McKowen... hardly ever scored, but didnt turn it over and had tons of assists
4. never really had one (same with us)

they dont have to be super stars, just solid guys

I hope we achieve more than his UNI teams.

His UNI teams acheived a lot. Taking UNI to the Dance 3 years in a row is like ISU making the sweet 16 3 years in a row. UNI had absolutly no tradition and he made them a contender.

Hope you meant the comment more along the line that they didn't go far enough and would agree with you on that.

I hope we get good enough where we don't have double digit amounts of losses.

[CycloneErik]

It would be fun to average 5 losses a year, or even less. Not sure less is really possible in basketball, but you know, it would be fun!
