It looks like Nick has improved his shooting form quite a bit over the last year.  The kid is going to be a very nice addition to our program .

37 points tonight. Quite a gift. RT @NickNoskowiak: Did it for my momma man... happy birthday mom, love you more than anything...

Nice form - looks more like a 2 guard than PG in my view.  Plays fairly erect.  Not a burner - seemed to have average quickness, not a lot of blow by speed.

I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say we look forward to your 2 billion posts of completely rational analysis of his game.

[keefe]

Plays fairly erect. 

Surprised you noticed...

[mileskishnish72]

Geez, how fast do you expect him to run in that condition?

[Lighthouse 84]

The kid knocks down free throws with that condition too.....

That shot will be welcome next year.

At his age he should play extremely erect.

May explain why he does not have blow-by quickness.

Well done Scoopers.  Reminiscent of the Austin Grandstaff thread.

I heard he was just happy to guard someone.

If you look at his films last year his shot was more cockeyed.

He will gain strength and  speed when he gets in our training program.

I think he'll probably end up playing more off the ball next year, like Diener did his frosh year. Although I've heard he is good at running an offense/controlling tempo so who knows. One thing is certain, the backcourt will be bombing with him and Duane on the court at the same time. Cohen has shown nice potential from deep too. Ellenson will have plenty of room to operate inside & out with what he'll be surrounded by. Next year can't get here soon enough!

That's a good point.  We'll be able to spread the floor very well for the first time in years.

[MUfan12]

With Fischer/Heldt at the 5, there will be guys at every position that can step out and make shots. If the young guys can pick up on Wojo's offense, they're gonna be a bitch to guard.

Of course, MU had a pretty good veteran (senior) point guard in place when Diener arrived. That won't be the case next year, when Wojo's options at the point will be Du. Wilson - who so far seems more of a swing player than a one - John Dawson and Noskowiak. In fact, I think Nick's best chance for significant PT has to be at the point because Wojo will have so many options at the 2/3, i.e. Duane, JJJ, Cheatham, Sandy, Wally, Deonte, and not so many at the 1.

As for next year not coming soon enough .... I can wait. There will be lots of ups and downs this season, which will make it maddening at times, but also fun to watch Wojo grow as a coach and the team develop.

Glad to see Nick tearing it up.   I have learned over the years that if the freshmen have an instant impact, it is gravy.    Having said that, I think that this class may have 3 impact freshmen.   But even then, will they start.   The only one that may start from day one is HEllenson.   To do so, he is going to have to beat out STjr, WEllenson, Deonte, Cohen for time up front.   I think he starts next to Fishcher.   Heldt will be a freshman, back up big.   I think STjr splits time backing up HEllenson and Luke.    A backcourt of Duane and JJJ is solid.   Haanif and NN will both be solid backups.   I think Dawson (assuming he stays) gets time backing up both spots.   I don't know what Wojo is thinking for the last schollie, but I would sure love to have a 1 year rental PG on the roster.    All in all, that will be a very young, very balanced roster.    The 'young' will be crucial.   Don't expect perfection early.

Kids shot is smooth. I can see him being one of those players that other teams say "Hes only a junior?" he looks like he can be a pest.

A agree, a true point guard in spring, a graduate rent a year point guard would be nice.  That way he still can have 2 kids the following year, that makes total sense.  Needs to recruit a point
the following year anyway and probably a power forward for Taylor.

Wasn't expecting Noskowiak to be more than a backup G in his freshman season. If he keeps up this level of play all season, I may have to alter that expectation. Him and Duane bombing threes together could be a lethal combination
