I remember him that season! He wasn't supposed to be in the rotation, but he won some backup guard minutes after Naz got injured and Hallice Cooke underperformed. Sounds like he has been winning everywhere he's been since.

Awesome!

I actually feel bad that I have no clue who that is. Was that our 2 win season?

He might be the head coach at Iowa State in 20 years. Never say never.

I think it was a Sweet 16 year? And isn’t he a Mount Pleasant guy? Might be remembering wrong, I am old.

He played in 2015-16. That was Niang's senior year.

We talk a lot about the talent on the 2018-19 squad but that 2015-16 team was stacked.

Monte Morris - NBA player
Naz Mitrou-Long - NBA player
Abdel Nader - NBA player
George's Niang - NBA player
Jameel McKay - international pro

Matt Thomas - NBA player
Deonte Burton - NBA player

The problem was after those 7 the next best option was really Jordan Ashton, who was UNI level, not really B12 level. And then Naz went down, everyone else had to play heavy minutes and they ran out of gas in the B12. Just needed 1 or two more guys. Nick Weiler-Babb was sitting out that year, if he had the free transfer and Naz stayed healthy the sky was the limit for that group.

He already was a college head coach…Iowa Wesleyan.

I remembered he came from Kirkwood CC, but wasnt sure. Looked it up-
Mt Pleasant HS
NW Mizz St
Kirkwood
ISU
UNI

Good shooter & scorer, but not quite quick enough for P5. Obviously a competitor too. Good for him!
