Tough day for EIU hoops hopes
- Thread starter MuskieCy
- Start date
I know this is designed to generate the next round of battles. But he didn’t really say they’d be worse.
He just told them to think about what they were saying.
Dang I was hoping Tech would have a tougher non conference schedule to help our NET rankings
I like it. Get them early in the season and have a chance for an upset. If not, it can only help your SOS.
Yeah I totally expect Iowa with their roster turnover to be playing good basketball early in the season
The starting lineup of:
Connor
Fredrick
Wieskamp
Pemsl
Garza
Vs
Beard
Will be fantastic
Remind me. Is Jorbo out for the year? If I were him I'd want a reason to not want to play for Mad Fran.
Beyond being a hawkeye, I didn't hate him because he had passion for the game and his school. However, whlie he wasn't amazing, the loss of his experience will hurt them more than they think.
I will bet Fran is getting some every night from maggie. Accidentally or otherwise, he has insured that Connor will get maximum minutes. All she really wanted.
Still nothing official but all signs pointing to him taking a RS this season.
No real downside, plus Tech lost a ton, they might not be hitting on all cylinders by then. Probably the best time to catch them.
I heard they will announce him done for the season a week before the Iowa State game. Then, out of nowhere, he'll try to give it a go in Ames. The third installment of the Rudy series won't go like 2018.
That starting 5 is laughable. Even if you'd put in their transfer at the 1, Connor will still start at the 2 or 3.
I actually think people are way overrating Tech right now. Beard is a great coach but the guys they are returning have only been role guys and it’s tough for freshman to play as efficiently in Beard’s system as he wants.
They'll be young with the 7 freshmen but their starting lineup will still have decent experience when you factor in key transfer additions in Chris Clarke and TJ Holyfield. Maybe not continuity though.
Jahmi'us Ramsey is their NBA talent. Potential 1 and done.
I think their starting 5 will be Ramsey (true Frosh), Moretti (Junior), Kyler Edwards (Sophomore), Clarke (Senior), and Holyfield (Senior). On paper they're a little thin in the front court.
Valid point though on role players having to expand their games.
