Katz talking about Wes Johnson and ISU

good riddens for the sorry wesley johnson.gilstrap willl have twice the contribution to the cyclones compared to the butt23@E. wesley johnson ever had.
 
Good article. Katz always seems to show us some love.

Makes you wonder what could/would have been with Johnson and Brackins this year and last year though.

I agree. Katz usually knows his stuff when it comes to Iowa State and shows us some love. It's obvious he actually looked into our situation and knew a good deal about our team. That's a little different than other national media outlets that seem to only know that ISU has been bad the past few years and we have Craig Brackins on our team.
 
A good winning season for us this year will go a long way to forgetting about Wesley Johnson. If our season tanks again but 'Cuse is successful, we'll keep playing the What If game. It's high time to put this all behind us and prove that we can win with what we've got.

I for one am very excited to see Gilstrap in action and it is refreshing to actually be optimistic heading into the season.

Interesting comment

I predicted that KU would have 2 non-conference losses (At Tennessee and I think KU will flounder at home against Michigan or California) and 2 conference losses (At Okie State and the concrete racketball court they call Hilton Collisuem).
 
Loud since noise echos in a racketball court?
That's what I thought but I guess it just wasn't a very strong comparison. Winning this season and Barnes signing in November will definitely help us to overcome his transfer.
 
Good article. Let's kick some Orange in the Tourney.... EDIT: NCAA

I expect at least the NIT, but I will only be "thrilled" with "beyond."

I thought that was rather backhanded myself. They expect that Johnson is going to get the Orange to the NCAA but Brackins is expected to get us to the the NIT. WTF? Is'nt Brackins one of the top 10 players in college basketball? NO WAY Wesley is.

We have not had a winning season under McDermott as of yet.

No backhandedness there I don't think. Him saying Gilstrap is going to get us to the NCAA based on our team last year would be...insane

The Orangemen had a very good team last year that lost a lot of talent, but Weasley replaces two of the wing players that took off. Unless SU has a point guard to replace Flynn, they will have a hard time dancing.
 
Wow...Having the schedule listed off like that makes it looked even scarier. But if we're for real, this will be a very fun season.

Right. That is what I like. If we suck and we lose games, big deal. If we surprise and play like contenders, we are going to play teams where the reward for winning is BIG.
 
Your right it was a good article. I'm sure KU will be doing all they can to keep Gilstrap from getting another year of eligibility, regardless of the hardship.
