Leadership. We need that. I think there will be a few guys next year that can take the reins. Tough when you have a whole new team and your "experienced" guys aren't real vocal.


Yep, and whoever he was sending that message to is replaceable no matter who it is.

Lindell Wigginton on the post game radio show mentioned that not everyone is buying in on what the coach is asking for on defense.

I only saw the first half but not surprised.

Getting housed by the team that's maybe playing worse than you isn't great and it's not just a personnel issue.

Lindell’s quote. I’d say that’s concerning.

Actually, it is great. Donavan's said this several times this year and apparently no one listened. This season is toast and it likely would have been even if everyone was listening (the injuries and lack of players and freshman). But next year is important and to have someone start to acknowledge this that will be around next year.

[QUOTE="CYdTracked, post: 6069557, member: if he can learn to cut down on the turnovers and find a balance between being theprimary scorer while running the point he could really be a special player/QUOTE]

Not a leaders qoute, deal with it in house not in the media. You don't lead by promoting conjecture.
Lindell is a fantastic talent but Prohm serms to not have guardrails for him, hence out of control drives to the basket where he is eaten up and results in 2pts (10%), foul (45%) or turnover (45%). Not good %'s.
When this happens it seems the other players stand around because they know he is going to call his own #. Result is a stagnant offense. Lindell won't be a leader of the team until he learns to run the floor and distribute without ego.

If Lindell is playing PG, we are in trouble. Hope Prohm finds a real PG.
I don’t think LW will make the NBA. He HAS to play PG there and it isn’t a natural position for him. He is a combo guard.
Afraid Prohm is going to try to force fit him as a PG. Our future success will depend on if we can find a “Blaylock” to match LW’s “Stinson”.
LW is the classic great college player but not convinced it translates to the NBA. He will make good money playing b-ball somewhere though.

-yes I know this is an opinion only
-yes I know he is only a freshman
-yes I could be proven wrong
-yes I love that LW is a Cyclone
-yes I trust Coach Prohm

Rumor is, NWB played point guard before he was injured.

What if those pointing fingers are the biggest culprits?

Do you think Lindell is the biggest problem? Hell, maybe he was calling out himself last night. And if it is Jackson, it really doesn't matter because we have one game left.

I know you hate Prohm and think that a team down two starters should win every game, but there's no need to act like an *******.

I think on offense you go the way of your highest usage guys. DJ, Wigginton, and Lard are those guys, and I’ll let you guess which ones have not played well enough despite decent raw numbers.

I know you hate the players, pick favorites, and still haven’t recovered from Fred leaving you, but try not to get so emotional. This program has a lot going for it and will be okay.
