The Harry Froling Era Now Begins

[Tugg Speedman]

What do we expect?

Start?

Minutes?

Stats? 

Another body and five more fouls?

Thoughts?

Sorry. Too busy celebrating the Bucky win.

Brings another dimension to the offense that we will love.

Will not help the interior defense that we hope.

Thinking we see him come off the bench but with solid minutes. 15-20 range.

Wojo was just interviewed on FS1 ... he said that Froling has lost 40 pounds and brings a skill set that Matt and Theo do not have.  I took that to mean an ability to score down low.

Wojo is always so stoned faced. When asked about Froling in the post game he could not choke back the smile.  I am taking that as a good sign...

I agree with this but his sheer size will help with interior D. Just having a 6'11 big that may even get to play alongside Matt or Theo sometimes will help. I see him as a stretch four. Thinking he could get 10ppg eventually and have a few big games.

I took it more as a true big that can stretch the floor. But regardless I think he's going to be effective scoring both inside and out.

And step out. Should create more lanes for guys like Anim to slash.

I think it'll open up the 3 point line more for Howard Rowsey and Hauser. 4 three point shots at a time is going to be hard to guard. No more doubling Rowsey off the screen high.

Yup, noticed the smirk too.  Me thinks we get a LOT more dangerous.

Harry was a pretty big name out of Australia before going to SMU. He's got skills and I can't wait to see what new-and-improved Froling does with our squad.

[DUNKS45]

He'll just make us better, more options and man power. Can't wait.

Sorry. Too busy celebrating the Bucky win.

You said it!!!

[mileskishnish72]

Noticed Wojo's response as well. I think it was Bilas that said Froling would make a big difference.
Oh, please, let it happen.

Maybe not, but remember he was overweight and adjusting to American basketball at SMU. New system, new country, going from star to backup, I'm not sure that will be indicative of what he is here. After a year battling Fischer, Heldt, Morrow, John, and Smith, we may see a different type of player.

Looking forward to seeing what The Big Fro can bring!

Porky agrees with this.  There's no way all that practice hasn't helped his game.   Not expecting Harry to be a transformative game changer that propels us to the Sweet 16 in March, but we'll definitely be a better team a week from today than we currently are.

My guess is he will do well the first two games he plays.

Don't forget, he was also injured when at SMU (they were playing him anyway).  Not saying he will be a season changer. 

Some here are building expectations a bit high.  He will be a contributor, and probably help us win 1 or 2 games we may not have without him.  That is about the best we can expect.

[MuMark]

Wojo has said that 1 of the best skills Harry has is he is an excellent passer.

I expect more offense to be run through him then with Matt and Theo....if not to score then tonfind our shooters and cutters.

[MomofMUltiples]

If Harry provides nothing else, he is another big body and five more fouls.  That in and of itself will be valuable to this team.

However, I believe he will provide a different dimension to this team.  Think Henry with a better supporting cast.

I'm wondering who had the gun to his head in the post game FS1 interview

It did look like he was being held hostage....



Wojo!  You just had a big win, for chrissake!

Fro! Yo!

Agree. I think he will come off the bench but his minutes could expand as the BE season rolls on. Very excited to see how he will fit in with the team.
