CPK still has to figure out how to somehow keep the fans coming out and filling some seats. I don't know if he can other than a huge win here and there.
Hate to say it,but our fans can't abandon these players and this coach like last season. Totally different set of circumstances this time around.

Idk,it sucks 😕

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."

A whole lot less pressure at BYU last season. He's pressing like everyone else and that's not conducive for good shooting, especially when you don't have a consistent release.

Waterman's best shooting game was the IU game where everyone's confidence was high. He likely had more confidence last season at BYU.

I'm wary of this guy. He reminds me of DJU, the former Clemson QB who stunk it up this season at FSU.

My main issue is he was benched. He was wildly inconsistent. In fairness to him it was a new offense that is more RPO and QB runs. Then you throw in really good defenses.

I like all the physical tools but really don’t like taking a guy that was benched. Now he maybe the guy that is like a really good shirt on the discount rack that has a small hole. Easy to fix. The price may be right.

Like I said I trust Brohm.

Well, Brohm did take Plummer after benching him at Purdue.

I think there's several guys out there better than Moss. I think the dude at California, Fernando Mendoza would be a home run pick.

Kelsey needs to hold a tryout asap and find a student who played HS basketball and chose academics or another sport.

Yes, we were getting by without Johnson mostly due to the exemplary play from Hepburn. It eventually would have cost us when Hepburn got into foul trouble for example.

But there's no one who can pick up the slack from Pryor going down. I was hoping Rooths could try, but that's a pipe dream. The freshman doesn't have four years of improving at the college level. It's still unclear what Rooths is best at.

Scott I think is the only real option, but he's a zero threat on the perimeter. He's a good passer, but without the outside shooting threat, he's easier to defend.

We still don't know how good Traore is or if he can make a difference when he's back. He's played 37 minutes in two games, scoring 3 points. He may even decide to redshirt to get a do over for his last season of college basketball. Probably wouldn't come back.

Is signing a player to play starting in January even a possibility?

Don't think so. Transfer rules are pretty relaxed now but you can't transfer midseason. Basketball is November - May. Not sure you can find someone in high school who is not currently playing and wants to enroll and become immediately available? Doesn't seem likely to me.

Yep,when you can't stop anybody you have to figure out how to out score them.

Sound familiar? I think we've had issues like this in football in the past.

Quite the quandary.

I am trying to be objective here, but honestly I cannot think of any HC in college football right now that has more respect than Jeff Brohm in developing a QB. I am not talking about the Lamar Jackson’s who are so athletic and talented that require little or any coaching; I am referring to those like Tyler Shough who have the tools to be effective, but require experienced tudoring.

Does putting on extra pounds affect shooting? Could that be a factor?

For me it's his shot. It's flat and the trajectory wavers on every release. He doesn't have a consistent release.

Players who shoot like this have up and down moments where sometimes his confidence is up and he makes more, but on the other side when the confidence wanes, the shots are mostly bricks.

Waterman just doesn't have a proper shooting form in my opinion. What is he from the FT line? 2 for 9? He's not getting robbed on his misses, they're pretty much bricks.

As for Smith, it's all about timing. On his bad misses, he's shooting too fast, trying to get the shot off before it's contested. After missing so many like that, his confidence is shaken when he has time to shoot and he continues to miss.

His best shooting this season is when he makes a few early in the game, but when the Cards are trailing and having trouble scoring, most of his shots are too fast and too deep. That's not a recipe for success unless you're name is Stef Curry.

Waterman actually impressed me more these last two games with his inside play and rebounding. I think he needs to take less perimeter shots going forward, especially now Pryor is out for the season.
