They controlled most of the game and lost at the end they have time to improve and become a good team. Their biggest problem is we have 9 freshmen on the team. The difference between the 1st half and 2nd half was rebounding. We dominated the boards the 1st half not the 2nd half. Jeff has always focused on recruiting good guards he needs to focus more on recruiting strong centers. I think the last good big we had was Kylee Shook.
I love this class this is the type of class we have our best teams with. The best players in the state mixed in with good players from across the country.
I will reiterate something I said about Mills...when Iowa is a competitor for a QB I don't know if it sends up a red flag to me or not; I don't know anyone who has ever had NFL aspirations as a QB who needs to work on their "handing off game."
This is definitely the least talented roster Walz has had in a very long time. They're not a very smart team either taking terrible shots and having horrible turnovers.
Maybe they will improve as the season goes on but I just don't have much confidence they will. Walz just doesn't have an effective front court to compete against good teams. Harris continues to be a big disappointment.
Walz has a nice group of guards but that's about it. He has no wing scorers except Russell, but she's mostly a stand still shooter.
I won't be surprised if this team is on the bubble. You just can't blow a 17 point lead at home.
