Kalscheur looks to be a good player

And he's fast with the ball up court. I predict several impressive end-to-ends from him this season.
Some coaches find a way to unlock what a player can do.
Like I'm glad Jackson stayed because it looks like his abilities are highlighted.
Yes, this is a great role for Jackson. People get a little too caught up in what a guy isn’t. He isn’t explosive and isn’t great off the dribble, which makes him an undersized SG, but a guy that can hit shots and give great bench mins on both ends of the court. Not to mention, by most accounts he seems like a great culture guy.
TJ gets it. He’s maximized and identified this team’s identity. With improved shooting and little bit of better decision making, I think that’s the next step. If Enanura makes a big step, we’ve officially made the “middle of the pack” in conference. Conditt will never be a more than 10pts or more scorer. Jones is great energy. Jones reminds me of Joakim Noah version. Grill is an absolutely awesome 6th man. Tre actually played in this environment before coming to ISU which is why he’s playing better. We’ll definitely have bumps along the way, but I’m sold in this staff.
There you go with the “tyranny of the or” when I prefer the “genius of the and”…I will take the whole team!
Like your perspective. I am excited that the complementary players like Conditt are stepping into their ability too.
I won’t confuse Conditt with Cato, but darned if he didn’t make me think of Cato last night the way he ran the floor, dunked and swatted shots from weak side help.
I think you hit the nail on the head that two games in it seems like this team has an identity already, when it seemed the last few years we struggled to midway through the year to find it. Not saying this team is worldbeaters, but even as competition steps up this identity of hustle, defense and teamwork makes this team easy to follow.
Caught myself saying last night that Tre has an "old man, YMCA game"... nothing fancy or very athletic but gets the job done in a sneaky-solid way.
Definitely not suggesting that he's a guard version of Georges. He's not nearly that good, but he's a nice back-up PG who's plays hard, can shoot decently, and is playing within himself. Being used very well by these coaches. What a refreshing thing.
Are basketball players eligible for an extra Covid year in the same way as football players?
I wouldn't mind seeing another year of Conditt or Brockington.

I hear ya, but I do think we played pretty decent for a stretch when Kunc was the “big” in the floor. I absolutely love how Jones seals guys on the glass. The guy he is boxing out is NOT getting the rebound. Period.
I will say, our forward made a huge improvement from the first game. I want to see Conditt learn to play major minutes without fouling out. He’s made big strides in his overall game.
Tyrese Hunter. Then everybody else. Wait until he gets settled into D1 college basketball.
