Tristan Enaruna Commits

[jsb]

I don’t think we have seen @jsb or @mynameisjonas in these threads very much lately. Probably just busy with work

It’s easier for me to like TJ when I’m not being told that he’s the greatest person to ever coach

Seriously though, it all is great news! I never doubted his ability to recruit.

 

[Gunnerclone]

After the past two seasons I'd be thrilled with .500

Same. I think that can be a pretty realistic goal at this point with some things falling our way on the floor.

 

[NoCreativity]

4th or 5th scoring option for Iowa this year maybe. He was most likely gonna be their best player next year.

Lol, that's scary for them. No way he's better than Keegan Murray though. Either way that team is going to be awful next year if Weiskamp is gone.

 

[Gunnerclone]

In the conference.

No lol. Overall.Don’t be psychotic.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

I hope he's good. Could be he was just a bust coming out of HS. It's not like KU has never struck out on HS talent in the past. Hopefully he can maximize his potential in Ames, a solid get for TJ and staff. What is the general consensus regarding him? Day 1 starter?

Would guess Weiskamp will return. He will be top dog on the team. But is Bohannon coming back, too??

I thought the Weiskamp talk was crazy until I learned how old he is. Was he 20 when he got to campus as a fresh?

 

[WastedTalent]

That's not bad. I'm not doing the "we're a tourney team" thing, but we're a whole lot better for year 1 than we could have expected.

Yeah, there's still alot of question marks on the roster.
Hunter is an incoming freshman
Enaruna has talent, but lacked production as a freshman
Hinson is coming off an illness that forced him to sit out
Conditt's production has declined
Foster has seen very limited minutes

Really the most knowns are Gabe, Kunc, and Grill. Of them Gabe is likely the only starter, and the other 2 will be significant role players.

Obviously its hard to judge considering the results of the returning players last season, but I don't think Enaruna is necessarily a day 1 starter, because its not like he could get on the floor at KU and it was a down year for them.

I hear he is and will play barefoot. Playing in his stocking feet is too slippery on the hardcourt.

TJ:

Them: how can he go toe to toe with the big boys for recruits with his HC record and not even done anything at ISU yet?

Any guesses on what starting 5 will look like pending final scholarship spot?
My thoughts so far would be:
1 - T. Hunter
2/3 - G. Kalscheur
2/3 - J. Johnson (Or Enaruna)
4 - B. Hinson
5 - G. Conditt (Or Foster)

 

[Cycl0nepower]

Not sure if I’m missing something but isn’t he 21 right now? That’s the usual age of a college junior.

Thought I saw he would turn 23 before next season starts. Could be wrong on that, just Twitter stuff.

It's not a world beating lineup, but there are several options at the very least and depth should not be an issue. Might be enough for me to predict 5-6 wins in next years Big 12.

Why?

He has already graduated. He is already 22. It is not going to be a fun season in Iowa Chitty next year. He isn't going to improve his professional chances playing for the Hoks next year. He loses a season that he could get paid to play basketball.

If he hadn't already graduated I could see it happening, but I can't for the life of me think what would be attractive about coming back.

Not sure, google says he’s 21 and turns 22 at the end of the summer.

 

[Scott34]

After reading Gunnerclones comments, I've come to the realization he sits at home and jerks it when he thinks about TJ.

Dear TJ

Please pick up CJ Frederick just to piss off hawkeye fans.


Thanks
