I wasnt talking about his weight, nor was the post I quoted. BGA has him as a first team All-B1G wing next year, because of course he does. A "beast." Looking through those 2 inch thick rose colored glasses.
Well, he can shoot, he's fairly fast and has a decent handle. If he can get strong enough to finish at the rim while absorbing a hit he could possibly make it to All-B1G status. Hard to tell what his mind set is from this limited run he has gotten this year.
Don't let the fact that I never said he would be an All Big Ten wing next year, get in the way of you saying that I did. I think he will be a Big Ten star by the time he graduates, a very good player. First team all Big Ten? That's a projection I can't make but it is possible for him. He certainly has the ability.
??? With our awful shooting percentages most games, we are not doing fine offensively. Poor shooting (free throw and field goal) alone has cost us a number of games. We could also use more rebounding, which Ihnen has shown the ability to do fairly well in his limited minutes. He had 10 against WI. Yes, our defense could improve as well, but our offense has NOT been fine.
Our poor shooting is proof of how efficient we've been. The easier path to more wins is to defend better. Our offense ranks higher than our defense in KenPom
Agreed. Ihnen is a nice player. He should at a minimum be an upgrade over Demir. But let's not go declaring him All B1G here.
Nobody did. He lied about what I said and you took his post at face value.
We are still rated by many metrics to be plenty efficient offensively. Why can’t you understand it’s more than just black and white. We get our best shooters the most shots and we don’t turn it over a ton. Our offensive sets get us pretty high quality shots, we have not made them this year. Shooting as “poor” as we have and still having a KenPom ranking in the 30s is actually pretty remarkable.
Wasn't basing it on one post. Many (not just you) seem a bit inflated in your value of Ihnen (and Mashburn.) They could both be good. I wouldn't assume them to be top players on next year's team.
Always so negative.. bashing everyone's opinion.. it gets old.
Williams, Ihnen, and Omersa minutes should all go way up. I agree this would actually make us a better team as well. Omersa confuses me. He was getting minutes earlier in the year, did pretty well with em (I thought), then lost minutes to Demir on his down fall. Looking at all these guys play this year there's no reason we shouldn't be able to give these starters rest throughout the game. Willis can take the point when Carr is out. Demir and Hurt can be your 8 and 9 guys. Compared to other programs there's no reason we should be giving Carr, Gabe, and Oturu 35+ min night in and night out.
Agreed he's gonna be a star. He's already showed some signs of being able to handle the ball with a rebound and go. Hopefully he stays around regardless of coaching situation as with other guys on the team. Never know though, it is what is if a change is made.
