Big Man Recruiting - Prohm's luck will change

Mods please merge with Ernst mega thread. It's great that every thread that's a loss can turn into pining for a guy averaging like 11 and 7 in JUCO.
Again, unless you have inside information about what Carter and Ernst were told by Prohm it's pretty ridiculous to jump to the conclusion that Prohm "chose" Carter and pushed out Ernst. When Ernst left Malou, Lard and Young were on the way with another class coming up with likes of Stokes in play. Maybe Ernst just saw the writing on the wall. Maybe Carter did as well but settled here and happy where he is.
Lol, I'm not even sure if Nebraska was recruiting him. It's more likely University of Nebraska Omaha was recruiting him.
Personally I'd like to forget about the grad transfer guys. Other than Kane has any of them done much? I guess you could argue a case for Bowie as a role player. We've had several transfers under Fred that sat out and played well but a really good "big" grad transfer is probably just a dream. I think a juco is the way to go to compliment Young and Lard. Someone with offensive moves around the basket, rebounds and plays D.
Yeah, it's hard to be productive on the bench. Unless, give me a D - give me an E
Been discussed in numerous threads thought the year - not the focus of threads but as posts embedded in numerous threads.
I agree - since he was going to ISU because he went to CC near Omaha. The "claim" was he would have come here had he been asked and CSP is to blame. I say bunk.
We have had some pretty bad post players that could atleast be serviceable in the past. I refuse to believe these post can't get it done, because there is no reason to even think that. No we haven't seen much from post players because we only see them for 5 minutes most games,God forbid they don't blow everyone away on the 3-4 posesions they get in the game and don't even get past too.

“I’m not sure. I’m not 100 percent sure,” Bol said. “ But Iowa State would definitely be towards the top.”
All of the graduate transfers since Fred and Steve arrived...
Jake Anderson
DeAndre Kane
Bryce Dejean-Jones
Merrill Holden
Darrell Bowie
Kane obviously stands out. He's the exception, not the rule.

Well there you go, although I'm not sure it will matter to Spokane, he seems pretty dug in on this one.
I'm not ready to write Carter off. It used to be the norm that players, bigs in particular would not play until their Jr. and Sr. years. He may still develop, or he may move on. Ernst, who knows, he also may be a big recruiting flop at X. Lack of past recruiting and Holen's non-production thus far have been the issues.
I'd take a Jake Anderson every year.
Me too. Loved that guy.
Uncle Jake was a 2-3, though, a guard/wing/swingman, not a Big 12 post.
We've got plenty of those on the scholarship chart.
I have a quiet fantasy of what this team would look like if it had just *one* true Big 12 big man... Cato, Homan, Vroman, Hamilton, somebody like that.
Those don't exactly grow on the grad transfer market tree.
If they do at all. :/
TF and LE would never have had him here unless they missed on top prospects first.
He led the team in rebounding and he was 6'2". I feel like he is a somewhat forgotten player, but he really shouldn't be.
I should open the Cyclone fan trauma center after a loss. One hour with a certified therapist followed by two shots of whiskey and a hooker should do the trick.
