Starting 5 and rotation

I'll be shocked if Pleta isn't a contributor. Not saying 30 minutes a game, but half that.
The question is will he be more of a 3rd/ emergency big or will he spell Joshua at the 4? Perhaps a bit of both. But in either case, he will be be rarely if not sparingly used this season i would imagine, unless he's one of the top 3 bigs on the roster between Joshua, Mulder, Buchanan and himself.

CR Gazette: ISU AD facing potential $147M deficit by 2031 with direct to player payments

In all of the stadium funding measures here in Arlington that I've been through in the past 30 years (Rangers 1, Cowboys, Rangers 2), the people voted on the tax, and the tax was used to fund bonds that were eventually paid back by the pro team. It doesn't sound to me like that's what would be going here.
Probably not. The point is this is about more than funding a pro stadium or paying players. There is a broader economic threat to the university, Ames, greater DSM area and even the state. I not saying I like it, but there is a bigger issue here than paying players. If ISU’s AD falls into irrelevance there will be a significant impact to all of these parties. This $#!+ isn’t mutually exclusive. If interested parties can’t get behind paying players, hopefully they can get behind protecting ISU and the local economy.

Friday OT - In Your Wheelhouse

Hotter than a $2 wh*re on dollar night- it’s hot (the hotter it is, the higher the dollar amount)
Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes- that was a dumb thing to do
Got a dog in the hunt- you’re in the race
That dog won’t hunt- that’s not going to happen
As I’ve gotten older more I’ve started using the term Judas Priest more often as an alternative to swearing. Something I picked up from my Grandpa a long time ago I guess

Raise ticket prices and pass it on to the fans. Tax DraftKings and BetMGM. There’s no way students who are probably already going into debt to better themselves should have to subsidize other students who are getting a free education, plus boarding, and throw in their NIL salary as well. Honestly it’s getting to the point where we need to treat college athletes like their pro counterparts- they do great, pay them more. They **** the bed, cut them half way through the season- no scholly, no NIL. It sucks that college sports are this way, and I’m losing interest with time in just about anything outside of ISU, but charging a student fee for the AD is one of the dumbest things I’ve heard.

Starting 5 and rotation

How do you envision how the rotation works this year? I think the biggest question is at SG with Heise and Nelson. My guess:
PG - Lipsey
SG - Nelson
SF - Milan
PF - Jefferson
C - Buchanon

Plenty of minutes off the bench
Heise
Batemon
Toure
Mulder

I'm bullish on the future of Pleta, but I think his minutes are limited this year. I don't see us going past 9 deep much.
