Miles Bridges had 21 points for Michigan State tonight. Let's see if Tyler Cook can top that in B1G Freshman of the Year derby.


I think Leistikow leads the Biggest Homer Journalist of the Year standings so far

Is this real? I mean seriously is this real?

From the HN.com article that no one will read:

Iowa freshman sensation Tyler Cook struggled

He's a sensation alright. Totally sensationalized.

I feel like you're setting the kid up for unrealistic expectations when you start talking one and done

I wonder if Fran ripped into Cook after the game for not putting up 25 like he had predicted him to score per game this season?

 

[Cydkar]

No I couldnt haha, but from what it sounds like, every player would have had a problem if they played in the social media age. I can tell you one thing, people would think differently of MIchael Jordan if everything he said and did off the court was tweeted and posted everywhere.

I wouldn't think any different. I think he's probably an a-hole. He could really play though.

Shawn Taggart says "Hi".

Shawn Taggart says "Hi".

At least Taggart was a big time recruit. I don't get the Cook hype

By the way, I looked at their box score and noticed Waterloo Dale did not play. What gives?

 

[GrindingAway]

Wow, the #72 recruit in the country could be a one and done candidate. Who would have thought that

I didn't read the article, but the concern of him playing this year and then transferring to get away from that dumpster fire seems very real.

I heard he's neck and neck with Grayson Allen for the Naismith.

20k replies and we are still looking for a real player.

Sounds like he was hurt. Not sure what the exact diagnoses was though

Cramps.... Menstrual cramps.

Oh no, for sure, I am not saying people wouldn't think he was amazing. I am just saying there are stories about his actions towards teammates and the whole alleged gambling thing, Twitter would have just enhanced those tenfold like they do every little thing now. I think if Lebron was coming up in a time before social media and the excessive media outlets, he would just be appreciated for his basketball abilities, not as much about what his life is outside of basketball.

Did not mean to imply MJ would not be any less amazing, just saying the social media era is a completely different world than it was back then.

In case anyone was wondering how bad Savannah State is, Brady Ellingson has scored 21 points in the first half against them. Iowa's starters have score a total of 19
