Eliot CloughHOST
Like, um, is Jaden Coon going to be a guy that is playing every night too? That's a question.
Eliot CloughHOST
Um, I mean, does Trey Thompson find a way onto the floor? Like this, this rotation could be seven, seven and a half.
Eliot CloughHOST
It could also be, It's really interesting.
Eliot CloughHOST
It's a multifaceted thing.
David EickholtHOST
Gotcha.
David EickholtHOST
I want to ask you about Cale Combs before we wrap up this podcast.
David EickholtHOST
Obviously, a lot of people are focused on Trey Thompson.
David EickholtHOST
He's had a good offseason.
Tom KakertGUEST
I think Ben's trying to figure out this team and trying to figure out who's going to play a lot and who's not.
Tom KakertGUEST
Interesting decisions, you know, because I think everybody's kind of hoping to see Trey Thompson a little bit more and he doesn't seem like he's in that top shelf of players right now.
Tom KakertGUEST
And so, but he can bring so much offensively, I think, and maybe they're going to need some of that.
Tom KakertGUEST
Although they're the thing that I'm curious about, two things that I'm really curious about with the men's team.
Trent CondonHOST
David Eichel joining us as we talk some Hawkeye hoops.
Trent CondonHOST
One final thing, and it's a question that's just kind of lingering underneath the surface now about Trey Thompson.
Trent CondonHOST
We heard so many good things last year during his redshirt year.
Trent CondonHOST
Guy that's going to be able to shoot the basketball.
Trent CondonHOST
Got off the bench very late in the game in this one.
Trent CondonHOST
What's the latest you're hearing about Trey Thompson? There was just so much buzz when he committed, left high school early in order to be a part of the program a year ago.
Trent CondonHOST
What can you tell us about Trey Thompson?
David EickholtGUEST
Yeah.
LukeHOST
I think he's going to be very good.
LukeHOST
Trey Thompson last year was a pretty high recruit for Iowa in year one with McCollum.
LukeHOST
He was 17 last year.
LukeHOST
He reclassed.
Trent CondonHOST
Late in the game, thought it was interesting.
Trent CondonHOST
Took a long time before we saw both the freshman, Ethan Harris, who I really like his game and what he can provide, but also Trey Thompson, who sat out last season.
Trent CondonHOST
Ended up only playing a little over three minutes in the game for him.
Trent CondonHOST
Thought maybe we'd see a little bit more Trey Thompson.
Trent CondonHOST
Not the case there.
Trent CondonHOST
I guess the question remains him on the defensive end of the floor.
Eliot CloughHOST
I would imagine the rotation off the bench is going to be a little bit different.
Eliot CloughHOST
The other thing that I think was surprising in a different way was not seeing Trey Thompson nor Ethan Harris until the last four minutes of the game.
Eliot CloughHOST
Trey Thompson, the first prized recruit of the Ben McCollum era was and not playing last year was a little bit more understandable, but you start to wonder, okay, is this guy's development not going the way that Iowa maybe projected or had hoped? And it's just going to come down to defense for him, and I'm not waving the red flag of, oh, my gosh, he's a bust, whatever.
Eliot CloughHOST
It's just the beginning of year two for Trey Thompson, but a surprise on that front.
David EickholtHOST
If there's one thing Ben McCollum doesn't do, he really doesn't BS a lot, especially when he praises a player, right? I mean, you go back to when we were asking him about Trey Thompson last year and he said, look, Trey Thompson is going to be an all big 10 caliber player here.
David EickholtHOST
Like he has repeatedly praised him.
David EickholtHOST
So I'm going to take that at face value from McCollum.
Chad LeistikowHOST
Last thing, three guys that didn't play a ton.
Chad LeistikowHOST
Cam Manio, Trey Thompson, Ethan Harris.
Chad LeistikowHOST
You wrote about Thompson.
Chad LeistikowHOST
I was very surprised he didn't play more.
Tyler TachmanHOST
I think the starting part of it was just because Ben McCollum wants more out of him, more leadership, more energy.
Tyler TachmanHOST
So he's making that very clear as a motivational tactic, if you want to call it that.
Tyler TachmanHOST
And then Trey Thompson, Ben McCollum was asked very directly about it and kind of gave a long-winded answer.
Tyler TachmanHOST
My thought on what he said was basically that he hasn't been as good as other guys in practice.
Steve HartmanHOST
I have one more question before we get to that, though, and that is about recruiting because, you know, you just mentioned your son going to, I believe it's Northern State this year, and then you've also coached a couple of teams high major kids in Grayson Grove and Chase Thompson.
Steve HartmanHOST
I think even Trey Thompson, you were coaching him as well.
Steve HartmanHOST
But mostly I just want to understand from your perspective, what has changed the most in recruiting since you were a player and you went to St. Cloud? And how do you talk to your players today about those things with different things flying around like NIL and stuff like that?
Forrest WittGUEST
Yeah, I mean, it's a different world completely from when I graduated in 1998 from Morris and was recruited for basketball.
Trent CondonHOST
I want to ask you for another guy that Just trying to figure out where his minutes sit.
Trent CondonHOST
And that is Trey Thompson had the red shirt year, a year ago, a guy that we found out how well he was playing in practice during the NCAA tournament.
Trent CondonHOST
What kind of role do you anticipate for Trey Thompson this year?
David EickholtGUEST
Man, I'll tell you what, I'm not jealous of Ben having to shell out these minutes at that wing spot.
David EickholtGUEST
Right.
David EickholtGUEST
Cause I mean, you look at Ethan Harris, Jay and Coon has done a nice job as well.
David EickholtGUEST
Like they have a bunch of guys in there.
David EickholtGUEST
I just love Trey Thompson's
Tom KakertHOST
Cooper Koch shot it well.
Tom KakertHOST
Um, Trey Thompson didn't play a lot of minutes, which is interesting.
Tom KakertHOST
Um, but it...
Tom KakertHOST
Those scrimmages are hard to read.
