gomez has potential, he needs to become more of a force in the middle, stand his ground and use his length.... at a few points he committed silly fouls and slapped at defenders rather than keeping his arms up a little weight in the gym and some increased bball IQ that comes with time and he will be a solid solid player He is a freshman. He is too light. Give him a break. He will get there slowly.

Judging by his body language he appears to believe that he belongs on the bench. Timid in his movements on the court. Doesn't really own his space out there. A step behind in the action. With that said I do like how he looks during warm ups. You kind of get a sense of who he is in the lay up line...no pressure...he's just himself. I think he will be a contributor in the not so distant future.

I think the Gaels are a more dangerous team and a tougher 'out' in the tourny, if Gomez can average more than 5 mins a game the rest of the regular season. I wonder if being mentored by Ruland would have helped him?

With rare exceptions, generally on the mid-major level, bigs take longer to develop--particularly if they are frosh. Patience.

I was talking to a HS ref yesterday, who saw Josh in HS and he said he has a great touch from the outside and was recruited heavily by Creighton. Josh is more comfortable facing the basket offensively. With his height, I am excited about his shot blocking potential, something this edition of the Gaels could use to win the MAAC tourny and not exit the big dance early.

because he is an I/C graduate , their greatest player, and former coach. There is a great history between Iona and Jeff Ruland despite Brother Lo!

Oh I disagree, I think jeff will come up and help out with an Iona player, also Bob Knight is planning on mentoring some of the Indiana players next summer and Kris Humphries is getting back together with kim Kardashian.
