Yep, he is an all around solid player. Basically another Adam Haluska with a little more of an inside game. The other freshman looked pretty good too. Tucker can stroke from outside. As I said earlier, this team is already much better than last year. There isn't one thing I can think of were they have not improved. Maybe the post depth could be a problem, but really, last year our 3rd big man was Kurt Looby. In a year or 2 we should be competitive for the top 3 in the BT. In two years Ohio State and Illinois will be loaded with talented. Loaded. Plus Wisky, MSU, and Purdue will still be very good. I can't see Iowa being a top three team. I can understand that. You are an illini fan. Who do you have coming in that can play with the likes of the talent those other schools are bringing in? I'll wait for your answer. I still think you can be very good, just not top three in what should be a great big ten. If you are looking for recruiting stars there isnt much I can do to convince you. Jake Kelly, Matt Gatens, Jarryd Cole, and Peterson/Tucker at point leaves us 1 big man short. If any one of a number of young posts steps up that would give us a very solid top 6. Personally, I believe we have one of the best coaches in the conference as well as far as taking that talent as far as it can go.
