Honestly though I don't think they are the best freshmen, just the ones who play enough to put up the best stats. I'm so happy we have Wyatt Lohaus in Cedar Falls. When he is no longer getting #3 PG mins I think he'll stand above Scott, Timmer and company. I also think Shaq Morris is far and away the best freshman front court player. As he matures and gets comfortable with the game he'll be the best post in the league. He may even take that role next year over Mock.


I can see why you think that but at the same time you truly dont know what Wyatt or Shaq would do if they had the same amount of minutes or any other freshman at that. Whose minutes would Wyatt or Shaq get if they were playing that much? I think your statement would be better suited as which freshman has the higher ceiling. But your are right Scott and Timmer I think top 2 for this award right now. Scott looks to be leading candidate with averaging more and Sycamores in 3rd place (for now :-| ) which his production has played a part of. Also just a side not Brenton I think was overshadowed by his twin brother in HS a bit, who plays at purdue for anybody that doesnt know, so I think even us Sycamore fans didn't think he would produce as much as he has. He's been our best shooter and even are best scorer at times. Whats really ironic is Sycamores were in this same position back in 2011. Bad non-con, enter freshman JO, beat top team in league which I think was Missouri state that year, ends up finishing third in league, then won in St Louis. I wouldnt mind for that to happen again. Still lots of games to be played.


Shaq would play 20-25 mpg at ISU. Lohaus would play 30.

Timmer has my vote for obvious reasons. He really has showed poise in big games as a freshman and is creating shots and hitting them. I ofcourse haven't had the chance to see Scott as much, but I appreciate those providing the stats here. Thanks.

I've been impressed with Lohaus, he can knock down shots, doesn't mind mixing it up.

Just from the eye-ball test of watching UNI games, Reed Timmer should win this. He is a gamer and a real bright spot for the Bulldogs. I think he stood out to me way more than any other opposing freshman. Jordan Caroline was also really impressive but I still go with Timmer

Edit: Of course the biggest caveat there: sample size

Drake could use some good news. Timmer is good and getting better.

Statistically Scott is better than Timmer and played on a better team, but I like Timmer too.
