[Herky] Post Offense

[Larry Edwards]

We will really miss Woodbury next year, as we will not have a true center, unless Kreiner develops quickly. Fran McCaffery really does not emphasize post offense. At his other schools, he used athletic, undersized, stretch 4's in the middle and he seems to be going back to that next year. His use of Uhl and Wagner this year, when Woodbury is out, is a preview.

Jeff, 

At the risk of Keith Voigts calling me a whiner....... 

I am extremely impressed with how hard and how well Woodbury has been playing defensively and rebounding. 
Unfortunately like you said, his offensive game has not developed much at all and that has been extremely disappointing to say the least, for me 
Having a 7 footer playing in college game for 4 years is a luxury but it has not worked out for us offensively as he is not looked at to score any points. He does not leave his feet to go go vertical at all. Could be that he always played against smaller guys growing up and never needed to :-)) 

It is not hard to shut Iowa down defensively. Do not allow Jok and Uthoff any perimeter shots they are neutralized. Our guards are not scoring threats from the outside like it typically is. Gesell and Clemmons do not have the speed or the hops to create shots from under the basket. Time and again they are stuck in traffic there and keep trying the same. Woodbury is just looking for rebounds and not points and that game-wise hurts us. Without a strong third scoring option we are limited to how far we can go. The bench has played hard on the floor but it has not turned into points. 

Still optimistic for an excellent season and hoping things do not end like the football season did. 

Go Hawkeyes

As I was thinking about player development I was trying to think of a big man that has developed a strong post offense under McCaffery. I can't think of anyone. Woodbury has been a starter from day one but still has no go to moves around the basket. White never had any real consistent post offensive moves. Seems like a real weakness of this coaching staff.
