Just checked the official Iona site and looked at the roster. And, while jersey numbers still aren't listed, there have been a couple of changes. 1. Luke Jungers is no longer listed as the tallest Gael at 6'9, as he's been joined by Jacob Hogarth. 2. And Luke is no longer listed as one of the lighest Gaels at 175. His weight is now 220. I don't know if the 175 was a misprint or whether he has gained weight. Going back to Oz Sheema, who was never able to add weight. And while this is just my opinion, I think Luke needs the added weight. Was definitely a misprint. Still think it's a bit of an optical illusion to characterize Jungers as someone who "needs to add weight". Rupert, Moundi and Hogarth are all beefy guys; of course he's going to look skinny next to them. It's the same reason why I always hung around fat guys at the bar, it made me look skinnier to the women. Did it work? |

Once I added the additional element of hanging around dumb guys because it made me look smarter. |

At last! Guy explains why he has hung around this Board for so long.

That's pretty good photography for your first practice! |

Can't help being excited about Adam Njie. Not only is he going to be good, but I think he'll make his teammates better as well. JMO.

1970, the Braves win a game and you're back. As for PG's, they are often described as thus:
1. He's more of a shoot first PG.
2. He's more of a pass first PG.
IMO, Adam will do both very well. What do you (1970) think?

1970, I'm impressed with your answer. My only reason to disagree is because he has played HS ball at a high level and is used to scoring against VG players. Not saying you're wrong, but something to keep an eye on.

JMO, but after watching Adam Njie's video clip, in one word I'd describe him as 'Confident'.

Team had an open practice (for students) last night. Many photos on Instagram, but they don't tell you much, including an idea on student turnout. Hope a student, or two, posts about what they saw.

You and 90 percent of the world! I’m 5’7, so I literally look up to everyone. Size can be measured in many ways Jaden. Given the entertainment you bring us, you are a giant in what you do. Thank you for your wonderful coverage of Iona hoops and college basketball in general. Just seeing this now after another hiatus from the board. Thank you so for much for this, it made my night. Please come say hello next time you’re at Hynes if I don’t get to you first! |
