    View From 107: Player Grades

    I think Ash started the exhibition game primarily to give him the respect that he deserve as one of the captains on the team. I think it was very important and symbolic that Ash, Law, and Pardon opened up the new facility with all the sweat equity they have accumulated over the years. Ash has...

    David Roddy down to one sport, three schools

    He reminds me very much of Talen Horton-Tucker. At least in body type. Horton-Tucker however was a much higher rated player. We recruited Talen but missed out on him to Iowa State. Both are very much a skilled ball handler at their position and size. I think the coach is looking for a different...

    Deuce Trey

    With Nance in the predicted starting lineup as stated above I do not believe that CC will be asking a great deal from him. Nance will be surrounded by four veteran players and will have a specific role. He want even be asked to score at a high clip because he will not be a top three scoring...

    Deuce Trey

    What I hope for for Jordan Ash is that he has an Alvin Ellis III type senior year! Nothing flashy but very solid. I agree that Ash has worked very hard on his game. But, what I love about him and have a great deal of respect for is that he comes across as the ultimate team player. You need guys...

    Barttorvik (this is the one that matters) slots NU 47th

    Those points per game projections look about right to me. However, I have Taylor more around 15 to 16ppg and Law at 13 to 14ppg. I think these four will be a very strong core for the team and that Law could perhaps benefit the most from all the dynamic scoring options. Based on this model we...

    The UnKnown Going Into The Season

    I believe the biggest beneficiary of us losing Lathon and not picking up Mooney has to be Turner. With a full roster Turner perhaps gets lost among our wings. Turner can, with his play, command up to 30 plus minutes at the lead guard position. The facet that really excites me about Turner is...

    The UnKnown Going Into The Season

    I believe Nance brings the intangibles that Falzon just do not possess. Nance can put the ball on the floor, he can play inside and out, he can create for himself, he can pass the ball, rebound, and block shots. And, he is longer and more athletic than Falzon. Nance will be a serious match-up...

    My dream starting five for the upcoming season!

    I honestly did not see Gaines play the lead guard position towards the end of the season. He has great athleticism but he definitely needs to work on his shot. Turner can shoot the ball from three and he is an excellent passer. However, He wasn't much of a rebounder at BC. I agree that Taylor...
