Doug McDermott
- Thread starter Bigguns
- Start date
he was on the Scott Van Pelt show the other day.....SVP was talking him up and asking him about HB & their relationship.
good for him and his success.......will never understand how his dad couldn't succeed at ISU, but we are moving on.

Why, if one was to look back at things, one could probably come to the conclusion that said coach was spending more of his time and attention developing his son (aka meal ticket) as opposed to being a top tier division one coach.
I don't begrudge anyone being a good parent and involved family member. But you take more than a million per year, and I expect some god damn results. I mean 60 hour work week dedication. How do you have Johnson, Brackins, Gilstrap and others and never make any postseason tourney?
Ya UNIs homecoming this year. Big line for the bars he walks up to the front and then was yelling don't you know who I am. Idk its not much but hate when athletes pull that card

Turns out, we had TWO of the best players in the COUNTRY in our back yard, and we didn't get either one! We are cursed beyond words.
I have not seen Niang play, but does he have some of the same qualities/characteristics as Doug?
Hinrich and Collison were both in our backyard but ended up at KU and we had two outstanding seasons in 99-00 and 00-01. Hell, if Hinrich stayed committed to ISU, its debatable if we get Tinsley and Kantrail Horton.
Graduating from Ames High in 2010 with HB and Doug I was blessed with some incredible basketball memories in high school. HB was the number 1 prospect in that class and had all of the lights on him, every game. He is easily the better player and I know Doug personally would agree to that.
In almost every game their senior year Doug was actually scoring just as much as HB because of the offense they ran. He was MVP of the ESPN game they played at Hilton and should have been at the State Tournament they way he played, but with Roy Williams in the house we all knew it was going to HB.
If you every got the chance to watch one of their games Doug would make every shot he took from about 8 feet and in from the hoop. His rebounding was great, passed well, had a great shot, and never played selfish. He didn't go to ISU because his Dad was likely out.
I understand I may be bias toward this team but I think they are either the best team ever in Iowa High School history or close to it with two All Americans and several role players that are all playing college ball except for the center who is pitching at Evansville in Indiana. They ended the year I think #4 in the country and were the only non-prep school in the rankings that high.

I was honestly wondering the same thing. Similar size, good inside/outside game, hard work ethic, etc.
Isn't this the same athlete who committed to UNI because his father didn't think he was good enough to be a Big 12 athlete by not signing him to ISU?
He has a very laid back personality but worked very hard to get where he is. Not sure how well u knew him but I thought he was a very nice kid.
Why does that bother u? Should his Dad have done whats best for ISU and himself over his son, or any kid for that matter?
Must have been the coaching...
Dougie played last night against two 6-11 people. He may be a dinky Larry Bird type shooter who just finds a way to score that will translate well when he hits the pros. Yes, if you lead the country in scoring, you end up somewhere in the NBA. Remember the Jimmer. Right now, he is more valuable to CU than HB is to UNC.

Road game.
Might be McD's best recruit ever.
Okay you don't have to believe it. I was 5 feet away but alright. I dont really have a reason to lie.
That is a common occurance on the hill in CF, the athletes walk to the front of the line and get in. Big deal.
I find it hard to believe he yelled that.
