    Re: Final scholy filled for 2011---Deon Mitchell



    Must see video. Deon was named Athlete of the Week. The things I'm reading on the internet is that he might be the best player in central Texas. Fellas...that's pretty high praise. If they can make it to the state tourney, you will see his national rankings skyrocket. His game reminds me of AJ's a little. Also, they said that they were 21-4 I believe...25 games, and it's not even February. That's a long season.
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

      Good to hear someone pronounce "Pflugerville."

        I wish we could get Kwadzo to stay on as grad assisant or something. He seems to really be a leader and is helping sonnen and AJ elevate their game. But I am guessing he is europe bound to make some needed money.

          I also would love to have Kwadzo around longer.

And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

            I was reading the official release about LOI signings from UNI last night that was one thing that stood out. The three guys that aren't from Iowa had played over 90 games before their senior seasons. Going to HS in this state, that's crazy. It's like a college season almost...

              deon should fit well into our guard rotation. i expect marc to be up to 25-30 mpg next year and give him the first crack at that 10-12 ppg scoring role. we really dont have a true PG, but rather 3 combos on the floor at the same time. i am completely comfortable with the ball in the hands of any of our 4 current guards.

              the big question is who becomes our go-to scorer in the backcourt. AJ has the ability, but im not sure if hes big enough. he wont draw the contact that kwadzo does.

                Completely agree with everything you said here. I also am not sure about who will be the go-to but I think someone will step into that role, if it's Kwadzo like this year, or up to 4 guys like last year. I think next year's team will be one of the most talented team's in UNI's history, it's just a question of can they put it all together?

                  agreed....although i dont think we have to worry much about backcourt scoring...all of our guards that play have scored over 20pts in at least 1 game in their careers i believe. i like that we have a good distribution of scoring over our whole team (for the most part). it makes us a little more difficult to prepare for if anyone is capable of scoring 10-20 points.

                  i think johnny steps up w/ 11-12ppg next year and sonnen gets 8-9ppg.

                  i think we miss kwadzo's defense more than offense

                    It would be nice but I'd like to see him play at the next level whethere it be overseas or D League or the NBA.

                        Kwadzo is in grad school now (BA last spring) - will most likely depend on if he wants to complete his MA before moving on.

                            Well, Kwadzo is currently a grad student at UNI. I believe he has another year left in his program (maybe more?), so that is a possibility...

                              He just seems like he would be a good person to have hanging around with the new guys. Keep that competitive spirit going.

                                Looked at the tape. Looks like he has some range, taking 28'-30' shots. Needs to work on his jump shot form a bit (jumping forward instead of up/down). Looks like the typical HS senior / college FR - needs to hit the weight room hard.

                                Think AJ size (maybe shorter), with more range.

                                Interesting that the news channel story mentions that he expects to contribute immediately - hope he doesn't react badly if he is asked to red shirt.
