Colton Iverson: "I felt I had a lot more to offer a program."

I can't help but feel the "problems" Tubby claimed Colten had were really problems with the circus environment with the team. Two players held out for criminal charges. A pot head point guard. etc.. Not blaming Tubby only for the circus, but you can't blame the kid for wanting out.
 

I hated to see Colt leave, but have you ever seen a worse finisher? He was not going to start, and would lose minutes to EE. He made a difficult and unusual decision by transferring after his junior year. Believe his father had a cup of coffee in the pros and I can't blame him for following the dream. He picked a good program and a good coach he knew, with a position of need. I can't blame him or Tubby for this.

I have. On the Gophers. His name was Miles Tarver. The guy blew just about every layup after a nice pass for most of his career. He hit the offensive boards like a beast, but would routinely fail to finish. I found these stats:http://statsheet.com/mcb/players/player/minnesota/miles-tarver . I liked Miles but his effective field goal percentage was never better than 43% as a power forward. Top 10 in the conference in rebounds per game as a JR and top 5 in the conference in rebounds per game as a SR despite only playing about 26 1/2 minutes a game.

To Miles Tarver! A ten-foot-tall, two-ton son of a B who could eat a hammer and take a shotgun blast standing!

I don't know Colton personally, but some of my relatives are his closest friends in the world. Trust me when I say that he wouldn't care about other players smoking pot, getting into trouble, etc. He's a good kid from what I've heard and wouldn't ever be in trouble with the law, but he'd be more likely to be an instigator than not.
 

Colton will join a junior dominated team that has a shot at the ncaa's this year, and will all be seniors next year. I really see colton thriving, just the way the other transfers are. I could see him putting up big numbers. Different refs might help him more than anything.

Remember that last year? Common on KFAN had a bet he would have more fouls than points. It was close,but I believe Tarver won the bet.
