ISU was thought to be the leader for his commitment from JuCo (along with Juiston) until May, then Will Wade got the LSU job in March. Edwards took a late visit, crystal balls flipped and he committed shortly after.
Then this just happened. related? I'll just let others speculate.
Given the uncertainty with Lard I wouldn’t mind seeing ISU going after a big that has to sit out a year. We would be awfully thin in the front court with just Conditt and some underclassmen in 20-21 (unless Solo gets a redshirt this year).
True. I wish we utilized multiple personnel groupings for different situations. We seem to like to play small and smaller. It generally works well but I can’t say I don’t miss running with Homan and Vroman at the same time.The way we’re managing the big guys, our system really only needs two capable guys and maybe a third that can give you spot minutes when you have foul trouble.
I feel like the game has changed so much with the 3 point shot. If we have a big that can shoot the three, I think we'd play 2 bigs either normally or at times. We were very spoiled with a run of Ejim, Hogue, and Niang. Guys who could play in the post and shoot from 3.True. I wish we utilized multiple personnel groupings for different situations.

Hopefully that’s true.https://247sports.com/Player/Luke-Anderson-46039928/
This is why I'm looking forward to this kid. Good shooter and very polished skills. I think he's going to be Prohm's next great find.

I admire not quitting on his dream.Thats a guy who has bounced around.
Solomon will receive the redshirt. He was well under the criteria, and it should not be difficult to document the medical hardships he has faced for the NCAA.
My worry with him is if he will be 100% again. We got lucky with Naz, who came back stronger than ever, but sometimes guys never recover from cumulative injuries.
I think we have missed him more than we think this year. There were lots of situations we could have used the muscle as MJ got pushed around out there.
He would be a nice Wigginton or THT replacement on the scholarship chart.
