With the 3-4 guards we have returning what would be his role?

With the 3-4 guards we have returning what would be his role?

Good offense and good defense

 

[clonedude]

He’s a good player, but we seem pretty loaded at his position, right?

What’s his 3 point % like? Unless he’s some great sharpshooter, this seems odd.

Come off the bench to shoot 3’s and play defense

Just shy of 36%.

Good shooter and nice player. Nojus seems to be similar to him though....

I trust this staff and TJ's first 3 years have been incredibly successful and overachieving, but I know we're all hoping to hear the news we've got a visit from a 6'8" beast of a power forward with athleticism who can shoot. That's the hole we need to fill most. I'm sure they're looking.

I’d imagine CJo slides into a starting role and Heise takes that first man off the bench shooter role

I’d imagine CJo slides into a starting role and Heise takes that first man off the bench shooter role

I think CuJo is still the 6th man next year

Is Cedar Falls in Fran's regional recruiting area?

They are going all in on next year. A 22 year old proven player is a great insurance policy against an 18 year old who’s never played at this level

That would be an incredibly small lineup.

 

[WISCY1895]

If they can land Hadley in the portal I think it’s Lipsey, Gilbert, Hadley, Momcilovic, and Jackson as the starting 5.
CuJo, Heise, Watson, and a transfer big would be your core rotation players

I think he’d be a good get for us. Bigger than Pav and older (more physically developed). Pav was just not ready for big game minutes. To me, Heise can be that guy to play 20-25 and be really productive. Maybe spell Gilbert when he’s struggling. And who knows, maybe we’ll see some further movement out on our end.

 

[Halincandenza]

Would be a really good add. The more quality depth the better.

 

[WISCY1895]

Heise also has 2 years left so I could see them selling him on a much larger role for his final year in Ames

This. If he gets that second year, he'd be in a good position to play a lot of minutes after Gilbert and CuJo are gone.

Agree. Long ways from all that, but the visits with Hadley, Heise and Kyle are set up. Only wish list guy not on here would be Dailey, but if they go after him, then I think you rework your starting lineup/approach and put Milan at the 3. If the visits with Heise and Hadley come first, then you gotta think they want to go a little smaller and more versatile.

Lipsey
Gilbert
Hadley
Momcilovic
Jackson

Jones
Kyle
Heise
Watson
Freshmen

Experience experience experience. Age of teams is now an important indicator of success in CBB. Welcome to ISU!

He's 6'5", shoots a good percentage from 3, is a good rebounder, and plays good defense. With his size he definitely could be used in a 4 guard lineup from time to time. I'll be interested to see if we try to rotate our guards a little more next year to try and keep them fresher for the last month of the year.
