Jeremiah was a bullfrog. Jeriah is a Golden Hurricane.

He's put on 20 lbs of muscle in his one year at juco. He can easily put on another 20 lbs. He also needs to increase flexibility. A few months in our program will help.

What I like about his game is his three point ability and ball handling--not great, but definitely a threat to spot up beyond the arc or go by a defender and draw some fouls on opposing bigs. Having him be able to sub for both Copeland and Roby means we're potentially going to have 5 guys on the court the entire game who can shoot the ball. The lane is going to be wide open for penetration and we should be an excellent transition team offensively and defensively. It's nice to have yet another offensively proficient player who can churn out 15 points on a good night. Will we be a bad rebounding team? I don't think we'll be as bad some may think. Roby alone will average 10+rb a game this year, and we have a lot of size in the other positions.

Yes yes I knew that. Jeremiah’s a good friend of mine. Darn auto correct. ?

perhaps she's worthy of the nickname "Lady Willpower". Okay, I'll stop with this line of thinking...…………………….probably.

I think the reason we're assuming he will play in the post more is simply because much of his film is of him doing post moves and they looked very good. I think the question is if he will not be able to do post and perimeter play equally because of the bigger bodies in the Big Ten. Often times playing small ball can run the other teams traditional posts off the floor with their perimeter play. You can also run plays to get guys like him post touches with good positioning. I wish more players in the NBA did that instead of jacking up threes. For example many people believe this will be the evolution of Lebron's game as he ages. Wade has been doing this his whole career and he's 6-5. Sadly I don't think Miles will do so though we pushed the ball into Jordy so who knows.

I think this kid has a great opportunity to outscore his defensive assignments. That's pretty much the risk you take in small ball. He's also a very physical player at 215lbs, so I'm not sure the weight will be that much of an issue. As for comparisons, it's important to remember we've never had bigs like Roby and Copeland in the past playing the 4-5. Chan really reminds me of them more than anyone else. He fits very, very well in what Miles has evolved his team's identity into. Remember the other advantage of small ball: switching screens/improved 3pt defense. Hopefully Chan has enough mobility for that. I personally think he does.

I like tits and tat stuff

Oh god not Ben, he is as dry as a popcorn fart.

or...

Not that Jordy was great at this but if he can't be effective at guarding centers his 5 points will be less important. Though I still believe he is more naturally a 4 and its possible we could play him alongside Copeland or Tanner when they are playing the five.

Love this commitment. The Pardon comparison was 50% about his post moves 50% the fact that he wears a headband and is an undersized center. I like the fact that when he does a post move he fakes to the opposite side like he's going to dropstep the opposite way he ends up going. He's quick enough to make those post-ups where opposing fans say how is he getting these lay-ups all the time. That will turn into the ability to pump fake and get fouled or make the defender jump and hit a cutter coming to the basket as well.

He reminds me of Ed Morrow: his primary game is an inside brawler but is undersized for that game. He differs from Ed in a couple respects, (i) he’s 20 pounds lighter, but (ii) has better handles. Edit. Gotta love Dedoch’s official statement and what it says about his humility, gratitude and commitment to hard work (foundations for turning talent into success) : “Thank you to coach Miles and the rest of the staff for believing in me, and I’m ready to take full advantage of the opportunity that is being presented to me! I am beyond excited and blessed to announce my commitment.’’

I don't see it. Pardon is very strong and physical inside. Limited outside the paint. This kid strikes me more as what you hoped Ed Chang might have developed into but were afraid he wouldn't.

There seems to be a gap in the union of minds here !

Johnny Sain who was part of the inspiration for the poem: First we'll use Spahn then we'll use Sain Then an off day followed by rain Back will come Spahn followed by Sain And followed we hope by two days of rain. Shortened to "Spahn and Sain; then pray for rain."

Basically Andy publicly questioned the Miles hire. TO didn't much appreciate it; nor did Miles. So Andy was basically exiled to Siberia. Too bad, because he was a good color guy.

Well Brett Edwards said there would be attrition within the basketball program! ?

No, ...Pa. isn't mentioned as a place where the staff has visited....at least that's what NU's tweet's say. Could have offered on the phone of course. Sounds like a good prospect just doing a quick search for info. Change of topic: See the volleyball team just got a new commit .....Lincoln girl ......that hasn't started the 9th grade yet ! ..... (6-3 and still growing) Came to summer camp/workouts and Cook offered. She was an Iowa native, that moved to Ne when she was young...and was hooked on NU volleyball Nebraska is a hot bed of good volleyball players...Div 1 players. NU has a Nebraska girl in 4 or 5 straight years of commits. National Championship(s) breeds more and more very young kids that identify with, and want to be like the women's volleyball team

This will be an interesting year in the women's B1G. About the only one to be kind of predictable for near the top is Maryland. But we were competitive with them last year. Should be even more so now. We should right in the mix for the top half of the league. There might be a fight among all those mentioned.... and Michigan too. Indiana ? Then the bottom half will fight it out. Iowa, Ill, Northwestern, Penn St, Mich St, Rutgers..... A surprise team is very possible....lots of roster and coaches changes all through the league. So anything can happen. Several new players that will have an effect on some teams personality. Graduation does the same. Just another year in the B1G. Like everyone...tired of waiting. Come on November !!
