Luke Knapke Praise
Coach K said in a recently released Pre-Season Preview article on utrockets.com that he has not seen a player take a jump from his junior to senior year like Luke Knapke has, and thinks "he is poised for a fantastic senior season and a possible candidate for MAC Player of the Year." Such praise for a player that Toledo needs to play at a very high level for the Rockets to be a true MAC Tournament Championship contender!

Guarded optimism I would put it. Last year he had too many down games for the Rockets, must be more consistent offensively. A lot of pressure on him this year without EDU in a supporting role.

He also said he had a nasty edge to him but I recall him getting owned by EMU’s guy (Thompson?)who REALLY had a nasty edge. I hope he does play with a little bigger chip on his shoulder-we’ll need it.

True but I think we may be pleasantly surprised with Maranka.

For a 6'11" dude he also has to play more over the rim. No more soft lay ups. Jam that thing through the hoop!

True but I think we may be pleasantly surprised with Maranka.

maranka has a high ceiling. his offensive potential with edu's defensive game could be a real force as they develop in the same class through 2023.

gotta like Luke. He's put in work, improved every year, built his body and been a solid teammate. we'll need him to put it all together and stay healthy to win the MAC.

I’m thrilled that guy (Thompson) is gone. Couldn’t stand him.
