Ben McCollum on how Trey Thompson's transition to Iowa has been:
“Really good, particularly offensively. We knew he’d be able to do things offensively right away. He’s bouncy. He’s shooting a high percentage, finishes at the rim. I think defensively is the hardest part to pick up, and how quickly he can do that. And what positions he can guard at this level that quickly. But for a kid his age — he should be a senior in high school — what’s most impressive is his acclimation to being at a university that’s 30,000-plus students. How he engages with everybody. He’ll shake anyone’s hands. He’s such a good representative. He’s a kid that can be your leader into the future of the University of Iowa men’s basketball.”
