Nick Graham joins ISU staff

[NetflixAndClone]

As a GA

 

[Rabbuk]

Is he anyones handler?

 

[Cyclonepride]

Quick search makes it sound like he's made a pretty good name for himself helping to develop players.

 

[Nycclone]

Seems overqualified to be a ga. Not that there is a thing wrong with that.

 

[acgclone]

This is a good get for a GA position

Nick Graham is regarded as one of the top player development specialists in the country, because of his attention to detail, game like development programs and his ability to understand and teach change of speeds.

...
Along with developing hundreds of players who have played at the collegiate level he has also led elite camps all over the country including, the Hoop DFW Essentials camp in Dallas which featured the top high school players in the Dallas-Ft.Worth metroplex, Spalding Regional elite camps in North Carolina with NBA All-Star Chris Paul, Los Angeles with NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan, and in Denver with NBA champion Chauncey Billups.

Well I like this kind of news - not fake news or I have a secret type crap!

 

[gocubs2118]

Really damn good hire for a GA spot. DRob better get his ass in gear.

 

[MilehighClone]

Huge Get!

 

[snowcraig2.0]

I'd be willing to bet he's an assistant next season.

 

[baagoe]

Seems like a great hire but didn't our positions of director of player development open up? Although I guess if he wants to eventually be an assistant this route makes more sense.

 

[ISU_phoria]

Seems like a very timely addition to the staff. With all the new/young players on the team next year, development will be crucial. It sounds like that is Graham's specialty.

Welcome to the Cyclone family, Nick!

Love the hire, but f*** Doug Gottlieb

Love the hire, but f*** Doug Gottlieb

Nick Graham's dad is Paul Graham, who was an assistant coach at OK State from 92-99, which explains the Gottlieb tweet and also Nick's connection to the Big 12. Paul Graham was also an assistant coach at Colorado from 03-07.

Yeah I don't doubt there is a connection. Obviously he wouldn't have said what he did if there wasn't, I just historically have not been a fan of Gottlieb and some of his opinions (minus the pro ISU ones).

Maybe a little sour about not getting Berry's job?

 

[CyTwins]

Well that's odd

 

[srjclone]

Coulda sworn he was all about being in Ames, based on his social media posts. It'll be interesting to see where he heads to next.

 

[rholtgraves]

yeah, probably wants to try and find somewhere he can move up.
