    ****Official Class Of 2025 Recruiting Thread****

    I agree with the Gilbert comp given the defense, quick hands, strength on the drive and finish, and unfortunately the lack of a natural shooting touch. While I think Toure seems like he has more athletic explosiveness, I'd actually say that KG has better balance on jumper. I'm guessing that will...

    2025 Transfer Options

    Yeah, I hear you. The problem is if someone doesn't know the vast difference between what a 1/2 and a 2/3 is asked to do (and the skill sets required to do so), they probably won't appreciate why we wouldn't want Nojus trying to spell Tamin when Gilbert is out even if he was an all Big 12 2/3...

    ****Official Class Of 2025 Recruiting Thread****

    I think highly of both, but I think Batemon will be better than them. I just get a Monte/Haliburton/Niang "it" vibe from him. I could see Heise initially starting over him from a culture perspective until TJ just can't not start Batemon. That being said, I'd love to see Nojus take a huge...

    He's the freshman I think starts day 1.

    Potential transfer in?

    As I read through this thread, I reflected on how awesome it is to be in the position we are in. TJ has already created a culture that attracts the kind of talent he wants on his team. TJ has already brought in enough talent on the current team and next year's incoming class that we can afford...

    2025 National Title odds…

    Did we have to be reminded that the call against Fizer is the only reason the Big 10 has a title in the last 25 years?

    Milan is already projected as a late first rounder in next year's draft, and I think he will exceed expectations this year with his drive to improve after the Illinois game. In short, I don't expect him back, which is great for this season.

    ***Official 2024 Transfer Thread***

    Yeah, with how we play defense, we will have at least one 1-3 in foul trouble every game. While I don't think he starts, I do think Nojus will push for minutes, especially when he gets the defensive schemes down. VERY good shooter that can create his own shot some too.

    I'm waiting for Eric Dailey to hit the market, especially if Boyton gets fired. If TJ is convinced he'll buy into the hard rotation style defense, he could fit our system really well with his athleticism and skills. We recruited him in the past too I believe.

    In the past, I would have been able to say that was about the same level, but not this year. They might just make the dance this year.

    While my guess is he's not a Big 12 level athlete, I love #25's game on Pewaukee's team. UNI or Drake should check him out.

    I'm not saying I'd pass given he is super talented, but I watch a lot of IU games, and he frequently frustrated me from a decision-making perspective.

    It's been awhile since I played GDMTA, but it was easy in the past. Not sure on the bubble courts other than some the lights need fixed, but I can neither confirm nor deny that I may coach some of their junior high performance clinics. Regarding GNR, they usually spread the group out across...

    How Many Losses Wins the Big 12?

    So, if we win out at Hilton and beat the rest of the non-ranked teams on the road, we'd win the conference?

    I know this is thread is about professional tennis, but the ISU women are amazing this year. Top 25 team and worth watching. Not sure how long Coach Boomer will be at ISU as he'll be HIGHLY sought after in the off season.

    GDMTA is great for getting match play against a wider variety of competition. If you prefer hitting, try out the Grip N Rip at Genesis. It's a bunch of adults, and the group you with same level folks. You can also hit against some of the pro's.

    People underestimate the importance of the mental side of the game, but even at the junior levels sports psychologists and mental training are increasing in use and value.
