This worked out better then him comitting out of Juco. It gives Hoiberg time to help him with his game and he should be a very valuable contributor once he gets to play. He has the athleticism to be a very good defender as well.

Are you saying its just as easy to go .500 in football as it is basketball? That is completely wrong.
It is MUCH easier to turn around a basketball program than it is football.
Having said that, I love Hoiberg.
As much as anything, I hope adding Mckay can help with the recruitment of RV just a bit. I would think it can't hurt.
I can't wait to see what it means for Niang to get more single-coverage than he will see this year. He could just explode offensively when we add McKay and defenses have to play straight-up against our frontcourt.
Having more firepower in the frontcourt is the missing piece of the puzzle in Hoiberg's offensive system. Matching up ISU's lethal perimeter game with a strong frontcourt that is a serious threat to dominate in the paint... Well ISU will have one of the toughest offenses in the nation to stop.
Tickets are going to be more difficult than ever to acquire.
Perhaps a second golden age of ISU basketball is upon us..

With whom did the Hoiberg Transfer U start? Jake Anderson from NIU? Or Scottie from Marquette?
He has done really well with players transferring from the upper midwest (schools or hometowns): Minnesota (Royce), Northern Illinois (Anderson, Nader), Southern Wisconsin (Scottie, McKay), and Michigan (Lucious, Clyburn, Allen). Who am I missing? And these are just the transfers.

I believe that Jake was Fred's first transfer. He was the one that started this great Transfer U era of Cyclone basketball.
So McKay is primarily a 4? Is Niang more of a 4 if McKay is at the 5?
I have no idea if they actually have "positions". Not too much height difference either.
Can Jameel shoot? Or will he be on the inside when Niang is out shooting?
Ohhh the possibilities.
