    Article written by Clinton Mann

    I found this article written by Clinton Mann on the Hy-Vee Shootout. I thought it was well written and shows that we are bringing in someone with a lot of character who loves the game. First person: Saints senior lends eye to Sun - KCCommunityNews.com

    Eikmeier scores 42 Saturday night.

    Linn Mar's Enrollment is~ 1650 Freemont's is ~1350. Looks like a reasonable comparison to me.

    Bradley Observations

    If Wesley would have played there would have been three major improvement areas. The first would have been less double teams inside. You can't double off Wesley's guy because he can shoot if he is open or dribble buy a defender that is running at him. The second would have been better...

    Big XII Early Preview

    Last year we went into the season and Hubalek was shooting 3's we had not significant returners in the back court and had a bunch of question marks for recruits. McDermitt was able to significantly improve Hubalek's game, find a Gem in Hubalek and allow Taylor to play to his strengths. This...

    OT- Most mad you've seen/been at a golf course?

    I was playing in a company golf tournament with my wife and two upper level employee's. The 3rd green was very pitched with the hole placement on the side of a hill. I hit three good puts and they each returned to my feet. I finally got a ball to sit next to the hole and finished with a quad...

    Uh Oh Gonzaga offers Gibbs

    Thank Southern Hawk.....I agree that we can try and interpret what he says but the bottom line is it is his views not ours. This is a cyclone board though so we can have a cardinal and gold spin.

    Uh Oh Gonzaga offers Gibbs

    Your words Southern Hawk- -"latest articles from multiple recruiting websites (not just scout.com and rivals.com), as well as mounting evidence suggests that it's a race amongst Iowa, Iowa State and Gonzaga" -"The onl thing that I'm going to listen to about Gibbs' recruiting is Gibbs himself"...

    Updates on Cap. City Classic? (6/20)

    I think that our season will depend on PG play. I am very comfortable with our players at C (Juri, Alex), PF (Johnson, Brackens), SF (Clark, Lucca), and SG (Taylor, Freshman). I am not comfortable at all with our PG and I am hearing that Garret is at parity in this league. That really...

    New Chris Williams article re: Recruiting

    I agree that we need big men, but a team with three stud guards and two above average bangers down low has an opportunity to win most games. I like talent, and I like the fact that we are talking about 4 and 5 star recruits vis 2 and 3. Remember Homan, Shirley, Hubalek where all 2-3 star...

    Now What?

    I would hold it and see who comes available with all of the coaching changes. There will be some good players that are interested in reopening recruiting once the coaches that recruited them left. We certainly can attest that! If we can get a 3+ star guy to come in than I would use it. I...

    Starting 5

    Isn't it about starting our best 5? Wesley Johnson did well at the 4 spot this year, and I don't think that starting a Freshman, or a 2.5ppg scorer (A.T) is going to make this team better than starting a 4 year starter. We may be smaller, but rebounding isn't a problem and the quickness...

    More Unsolicited Advice for Next year

    Did anybody else find this quote hilarious or is this just my warped sense of humor? If you take away the the most important part of the post I think his point is right on. Homan couldn't jump but was tough inside with the left handed block and played hard and tough. Why can't Ross do that...

    Is W. Johnson as good as ESPN sleepers?

    I was looking at ESPN today and they had a list of the best "sleeper" freshman. The list is given below, has anyone seen these guys play? How does Wesley Johnson compare? Ryan Anderson, Cal. Tajuan Porter, Oregon Greivis Vasquez, Maryland Quincy Pondexter, Washington Patrick Beverley...

    i say go with Dunson, the Johnsons, and the future

    Jiri wants to be Pistol Pete and shoot from the outside, based on this he will never be the player we want and will continue to make poor decisions. He may have a 6'11" body but he plays much smaller than that. He has had ample opportunity to change he just hasn't. I am not sure that starting...

    If Jim Harbaugh...?

    When was the last time an Iowa State Head Football Coach left for a bigger program? I can't think of any maybe Johnnie Majors? Even in Basketball we have had 1 in the last 20 years. This is not something that keeps me up at night.
