Big Cade Kelderman fan

Rock showing some good D.

 

[Stumbles]

I don't think we are going to get 100. Son, I am disappoint.

 

[rosshm16]

Good outing for JT here!

 

[madguy30]

What was the line on this game?

 

[jaj040]

Too much chest touching TJ

 

[alarson]

lethargic game, still hit our 80 and won by 32. Not too bad.

 

[rosshm16]

What was the line on this game?

The one I saw on ESPN had us at -35.5.

Stripes had money on Omaha obviously.

 

[HFCS]

This is pretty easily our best looking mop up crew. Would win some mid major games.

Too much chest touching TJ

Haha, I've noticed he's a big fan of the handshake-like chest-touch.

Cade Kelderman would average 25/game at Grinnell.

Well nothing bad happened, we won by 30+. Post Iowa hangover was there a little bit. I kind of wish TJ would give a 9th guy a little more run in these games. It seems our main rotation is 8 and thats it. But in a game like this, why not get the 9th guy a little more run? Minor thing I know, but the conf games are going to wear us down.

Solid win. Didn't come out with the necessary focus, but they turned the switch on in the middle of the first half and did what a top team should do.

I can say without reservation that Nate Heise wouldn't be the 4th best guard on any other team in the country. TJ & staff knocked their portal pickups out of the freaking park.

Assume he's saying "I have bigger pecs than you." Power move.

I'd argue he's playing better than Lipsey this season

 

[CloniesForLife]

Rock looked pretty comfortable moving around out there. He will be a nice backup big next year. A chatfield replacement with higher upside

 

[CychiatricWard]

No. He is coming on but Lipsey does so much for this team, and a lot doesn’t show up in the box score.

 

[Drew0311]

Being honest. I didn’t even watch. Was planning to turn it on and saw we were up 25. Nice game to have at this point. Easy and nobody got hurt

 

[Cyclonepride]

I'd argue he's playing better than Lipsey this season

Nah, he's playing really well, but Tamin carries much more of a role, and much more responsibility. Have to feel great about our top 8 rotation, and we still have options beyond that. It's a great place to be.

 

[rosshm16]

Can Heise come back next year too?

Answered my own question: he has just one year (this current year) of eligibility, but can apply for a medical redshirt for missing most of the 2022-23 season.

Jackson and Jefferson both can come back next year.

Love Milan but he doesn't scream "NBA-ready" to me right now, although I've not looked at any recent draft board projections.

Rotation next year could look something like:
- Lipsey SR
- Heise SR
- Nojus SO
- Milan JR
- Jackson SR
- Jefferson SR
- Rock SO

Pick up a solid guard and a wing in the portal and I like it!
