Issa Thiam - High Praise and Other Tweets

Basically tossed away a few years - I cringe every time I come anywhere near that quote. :cry:
 
Ok. Thats some good news. Thiam could be the real deal. And yes......rebounding.
 
Why do we need to practice rebounding?

The Rutgers Rebirth is going to start with defense...thats what i love cause thats something you can legitimately build a program around...and it will get the building jumping

I say that cause jerry indicates this team will continue to struggle to score...so need to be patient and appreciate the improvement
 
And a bigger team, still have nightmares from Purdue game where Foreman guarded the 7 foot kid from Purdue.
 
Maybe this guy will be a shooter as well...Matt Bullock will compete in the 3-PT Contest

It will be interesting.

Bullock will be the test of will versus skill if he is to play guard. I think they like his tenacity, and his willingness to rebound. For this year, I think they play him more at small forward, and have him bull his way around.

Or they put him at guard and try to find a way to have him keep up with quicker, lighter guards.

Skill versus will.
 
From the comments in Carinos latest article, it seems like Gettys might be the starter. Shaq and him will probably split time.

Gettys has some skills. He is not used to big time minutes, but I think Pikiell respects his effort to perform at the level Pikiell wants.

It will be very interesting to see Bullock.....I'm just happy he is in the 3rd point shooting contest because that means he must have displayed some ability to hit the 3 in summer workouts and shoot arounds.

I know Knights has said he can shoot. I do not see him getting that many minutes this year. When he does, it will be in three different spots. I predict I will be wrong. He may get more.
 
He grew up in Jersey,man. I rooted for Myles Mack in a different manner than I rooted for another play. Same state.It is pretty great to have him on the squad.
any chance Bulluck can double up as our Middle Linebacker? kids huge
 
I see a bit of an Etou in him. Enforcers are overrated. One thing if you are playing a sport that allows contact. I know what you are getting at,though.

We will have to disagree on the enforcer thing. If a guard drives into the middle it's a good thing to have a rock solid Bullock to slide down and meet him. I'm not talking about the old Detroit Pistons Bash Brothers. I'm just talking about a nice solid foul just to let them know...."I'm here".

Thats true. We also just got a foul, and then get two shots.

Your point is very valid though. You do not want to make them comfortable.

The more Wisconsin values we can instill in our team this year, the better.
 
I have a feeling that this team is going to be like Kevin Bannon first team at RU

Some big upsets...some frustrating losses...but a ,500 record and a mini run in the big ten tournament setting up expectations at a run at a NCAA bid in 2017-2018 when everyone but Gettts
Returns

I think this team will have the allure of a better scoring team, it may struggle a bit in the half court but one of the tallest front courts combined with one of the fastest backcourts is the perfect combination for transition baskets
