Senior McDermott was never all-in.
Great story from an Iowa kid. Wish him the best of luck! A lot of hard work has to be part of his success. It probably didn't hurt having a coach for a Dad either.

Yes because money = wins.....so stupid.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?

I would be really curious to see how he would do in a BCS league. He wouldn't score nearly as many points but I think he would still be a very good player. He would still get his points outside but would have a much tougher time scoring in the post.
But no doubt, he is having a great year so far.
It's just insane that 2 of the top players in college basketball came from the same high school...and I believe all 5 starters on that team are playing somewhere.
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.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?
According to sports center Doug is now the leading scorer in the nation. Great job Doug!
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.I like the kids game.. From the time I met him he seemed like a DB
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?The only thing that bothers me is that I truely believe the only reason he was not recruited here was because his dad was on the brink of failure and he didn't want his son to go through the awkwardness of seeing his dad get fired for the team he plays on.
I don't believe it. That story is way over used.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
Don't believe it for a second, nice try though.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
Must have been the coaching...I would be really curious to see how he would do in a BCS league. He wouldn't score nearly as many points but I think he would still be a very good player. He would still get his points outside but would have a much tougher time scoring in the post.

“It was just one of those games where I got the touch around the basket early,'' he said. “My teammates did a really good job of finding me.
“Their guys are physical, probably the most physical players that I've faced all year, but I was just feeling it tonight.''
The Golden Hurricane started two 6-11 players in Steven Idlet and Kodi Maduka and brought 6-9 D.J. Magley off the bench. Each took a turn at trying to slow McDermott to no avail.
“Doug is very versatile on the offensive end, and he has a group of teammates that are unselfish enough to recognize his versatility,'' Greg McDermott said. “I gave all the credit in the locker room to his teammates, because they found him and got him some easy shots.
“I was proud of the fact that our guys recognized what was there. Tulsa's plan was to take away our 3-point shot. We shot 28 3-point shots two nights ago, and we shot six tonight. Our execution on the offensive end was as good tonight as it's been all year.''
