Ray Kasongo transferring
- Thread starter Messi
- Start date
Davion Cole-Johnson...just throwing that against the wall to see if it sticks.
Or maybe go for Rooks. ISU has to beat only 8 other schools to land him.
Unfortunate for the Ray and the staff to put a year into him to get him ready and to now transfer at this point. Good or Bad I wanted to see what Kosongo could bring to next years team.
On the plus side we will get another month of grad transfer talk for two spots to speculate about.
Honestly Rooks was my first thought. would be an obvious replacement and possible upgrade. Prohm did seem confident in options available in his interview last week. We'll see...
Not surprising. I guess the Kasongo people can stop the "he will be good at ISU" talk.
I would be good with Jacobson. Lard, Solo, and Jacobson would make a good post rotation for the future. This would still allow us to sign a highly skilled 3/4 guy for 2018.

He definitely won't be a starter, then.
The staff is pretty plain with guys that aren't going to contribute.

It's been reported frequently that Ray wasn't a B12 caliber player. Somebody either made sure he knew that or he figured it out himself.
Seems like Hines is hinting about Jacobson. Maybe I'm just reading too much into it with the rumors of him being in Ames this weekend.
Jacobsen has proved himself to be a solid contributor at a power 5 school so I would be happy with that trade. Best of luck to Ray wherever he goes.
I'm hearing rumors about us picking up a guy named Jorges Elbowang.
So we'll have turned over 8 schollies in a year. 9 if you count Lard. Impressive.
Good effort, they can't all be winners
Jacobson wouldn't be the worst addition from an Iowa St perspective, but do you think Jacobson would like it?
He's a sit out, so no playing next year, then in 18-19 he's probably behind Solo and Lard that we know now, and hopefully Race as well. Plus, no matter what, any guy Prohm brings in for the front court, is probably automatically ahead of Jacobson.
If he's ok with that, great bring him on. He provides Iowa St a pretty nice safety blanket in the front court.

I would take the heck out of Jacobson.
Pretty much the same player as Morrow and I have a soft spot for Iowans.
Does not score a ton, but he fights on the boards and blocks some shots.
Looks a lot like Solomon Young did last year (though not as efficient on offense, which you would expect with Solo's role, but a bulldog on the boards in comparison)...
Solo was a freshman and Jacobson a sophomore, yeah, but this would put them in the same class and give Jacobson a year to practice and improve. We could do worse.
6'8" and 220 on a sit-one and play-two
Sign me up.

I'm not sure Lard will be better than Jacobson
