After Bolton and Cameron-Lands it was looking really bad. Crazy the difference one day can make. I actually have hope for next season. I know we aren't going to win the big 12 but if we can 6 or 7 wins in conference I'll be really happy.
Hunter Reaffirms Commitment
- Thread starter Cyched
- Start date
I know Grill played PG a bit last year, so my guess is that it would be a combination of those two?
I was wondering this myself. I think it would have to be Walker. A full offseason could help him a great deal.
I would expect Walker to backup TH. Hope he takes a step and can get some off-guard minutes too.
I would love it if Walker improves to the point he can back up Hunter, really like his size/potential. But, you make a good point, another experienced PG to back up/mentor Hunter is a good idea.
Hopefully Walker can learn to shoot. I'm hoping TJ can really help him with that. Coaching with Hoiberg I would bet he picked up some pointers to improve shooters. I'm so desperate for the days when we were one of the best 3 point shooting teams in the country.
Unfortunately, well...maybe not. I think Hunter is going to get to play at least 30 min a game has freshman. I just wish he had a veteran guard to learn from like Morris had with Kane. Kane made Morris develop quickly. Everything I heard about those two. Practices got pretty intense, which is a good thing.
Off topic a bit, but when I watch player highlight vids I think of all the times when I was a kid playing basketball at Beyer Hall and State Gym in the 80s. Funny if there was a mixtape of me raining threes and the occasional good moves in the paint. Of course there wouldn’t be any dunking.
Great handle, quickness, and athleticism! The only criticisms I have read re: him are his outside shot and strength/size. Not sure h/ow much his shooting has improved but Monte did fine his first year and he wasn't nearly as athletic/quick. This is the game changer the team needed, ability to penetrate should help outside shooters.
Between this and the Pollard contract extension it's been a really rough week for him.
I did the same in '81, '82. Hated the end courts in State Gym with the track hanging over the corners of the courts.
if you loved Jonny orr you’ll love @Gunnergrandma.
Did not know this about Hunter: https://www.fox6now.com/sports/after-death-of-parents-racine-teen-finds-purpose-on-court
For a kid who lost his parents at a such young age, he has handled the situation with great maturity. After reading the following tweet, I can't help but feel so fortunate that we have not only captured a great talent in basketball but a great human being, someone who will represent our school well and be the cornerstone of returning to the glory.

You still are an ass.
Hold up, are we really going to gloss over the fact it looks like TJ is wearing a black jersey??? Look like a basketball version of the football ones. F’ing sick
Edit: now I’m starting to second guess myself and it looks kinda like the gray jersey. But it still looks a bit off if it is the gray
