Yeah I saw the e-mail. It did nothing but pimp ISU's revenue sources. Did not say a single thing about expenditures. You can not make a conclusion from that e-mail that the money is there to buyout McDermott's contract...
Hamilton Considering Cal, LSU, Virginia

and if it was and nothing was done about it then jp is losing his senses. He is blindsided by his love for GMAC.
Hate to break it to you guys but you can put the whole Hamilton may be comming back thing to rest. Hamilton will not be back next year.
I would love it if somebody would compare the number of departures we've had in the last four years compared to teams with similar records in other major conferences. I realize we'll have more but how much more and how much talent have we consistently lost compared to other teams?
he gave the big 12 a shot now hamilton has to narrow it down, acc, pac 10, or sec. hope nothing but a miserable time at your next college. and the notion that i need to support him is nonsense, i supported him for 2 years at iowa state and while he has a good ceiling, he obviously isn't menally tough.

Do you know where we stand with a replacement for Ham? Are we in good shape with Andre Clark?

yeah everyone gets sick of losing... only way to change that is stick around and play better... change the atmosphere, and culture... only real men take on that challenge... little babies run away from adversity. If he goes somewhere other then around his home, hes a dip wad... at least in this cyclones eyes.
Two years ago I would of echoed this. However, it is getting more and more obvious that something inside the men's basketball program at ISU is poison, and these players who may like Iowa State as a school, do not like the basketball program, and are finding it in their best interest to abandon ship and find greener pastures which better fit them. I put none of this blame on Hamilton, 100% on the coaching staff. Its been a terrible pattern...
Just asked about Clark...We are in good shape at this point. Not sure when a decision will be coming.
Oh and we do have another big visiting next week...don't have permission to drop his name on the board.
There was a thread a week or two back that showed we lead the Big 12, and it's not even close.
Ten years ago a lot more people would have cared. Unfortunately this program has been driven into the ground and people are sick of hearing all the bad news. They were going to stink with Hamilton, now they will stink without him. No biggie. Let me know when the make the necessary changes to get this thing back on track.
So with JH transferring, does that offically put the last nail in the coffin of the '08 recruiting class?
KG,
Thanks for the info, if you ever decide to start an ISU recruiting website I would sign up right away. Better info here than on most pay sites!!!!

Vanderbeken is the only one left in the 08 class
Eikmeier
Mann
Buckley
Pomlee
Hamilton
was the rest of the class.
In all honesty, it's not like it was a good recruiting class. A lot of busts in that group.
yep. you could argue the 08 class would mean the most to the program. it was was his second class, he's been in the big 12 for a year, fans expecting results in years 3 or 4, and he FLOPPED and he fell right to his face.
I'll agree with the 08' class being a bust...Also, about the time Mac changed the way he was recruiting.
thats the point. every single one of those recruits is not worthy of a starting spot in the big 12 except for hamilton, and well we know now what is up with him.
He recruited like he was building a team full of bench players, or do I mean the MVC way. You can't argue that he tried to win the MVC way with that recruiting class.
Same here! KG and cyismydog are the two best things CycloneFanatic has to offer. I only wish we had football equivalents. KG and cyismydog -- Thanks for all the time, energy, and efforts you put into CycloneFanatic!!! You should be getting paid.
