Luke Anderson and Marcedus Leech have entered the transfer portal

I mean the simple solution is to take kids you arent going to cut a day before the season starts if that's the case.

Yeah, I dont know, I understand what you are saying, but if they just dont have the talent to compete at this level might as well give them a chance to go somewhere where they can compete, no need to waste a bunch of time riding the bench for no reason.

 

[Prone2Clone]

Wow. Interesting. Would love to know the real story (since we probably never will).

 

[srjclone]

Pretty sure it was due to a death or illness in his family.

That makes sense as to why there wasn't much discussion or worry about it. Thanks for clarifying.

This is wilfully overlooking a bunch of information or complete ignorance.

I'm not going to outline my point again, but this staff is missing badly on too many people. That's the jist. Of course there are outliers. There always are in any system.

3 players from last year's team are in the NBA, two of them were under-classmen. Another player this year is being listed as being a first round draft pick this upcoming draft, also an under-classmen.. but he's missing on players?

Sometimes it's not the right fit. These guys were obviously going to be buried this year on the depth chart and Prohm is bringing in players at their position and still recruiting players at their positions. I'm not saying they're taking the easy way out, but I'm guessing the decision they are making is based on the fact that they would have a better chance of getting playing time somewhere else.

I am getting real sick of the negative nancies on here making every thread into a "Prohm sucks" one. You people would have shot yourselves in the McD era.

That being said, remember these guys?

Great players. Sure miss 'em. Fred never missed on freshmen.

Like new, still in original box. We only took them out to take pictures.

Did you use cotton gloves or at least wipe off the fingerprints?

 

[Cydkar]

Yeah but better they leave now

Correct, but still misses.

 

[acgclone]

Missing in recruiting hurts, but doubling down on a miss and hoping the player develops usually makes it way worse.

My guess is this will be a positive thing for ISU because Dunbar and Foster will be committing soon.

Yeah, putting Wigginton on that list was interesting.

Putting a roster together is messy and missing badly happens. For example, Fred ****** up badly with KJ Buford and even Edozie, ultimately costing us Armardi. But as long as you have 6 or 7 good Big 12 players, it’s largely good enough. That didn’t happen in 2017-18, as we paid for misses. Hopefully that’s not the case this year, and we can afford to have two misses in this past class. A big part of that rests on Nixon being worthy of a two for one imo.

Sure, but you have to admit those were great sounding names for basketball.

I agree with this. Fred missed on a lot of freshmen too and that was frustrating as well.

The difference between him and Prohm is Fred's staff was bringing in very high level transfers and the results bore it. Prohm and staff are bring in Hans f***ing Brase types (please don't make me list all of the bad transfers he's had)

 

[jmb]

What does that even mean?

Who cares? You are inviting an answer.

 

[Cydkar]

Correct, and Prohm would admit it. But he's not going to hit on 100% of his recruits. It's better to move on now, than have them ride the bench and take up scholarships for 2 or 3 more years.

I was answering a question. My answer was 100% correct and without editorializing.

 

[NDMARTIN2015]

Hawkeye Nation is claiming this is a bad look for Prohm having two guys transfer before the season starts. Pack it up folks, the jury is out. Xavier Foster to UNC, Dubar to Kansas.

jacobson and shayok. And probably Bolton are plenty good.

fred brought in some bad transfers too...the tiny kid from Nebraska and Edozie come to mind.

 

[CoachHines3]

post malone out here with bad takes just like the music amirite?

 

[Artic Zone]

I dont care that they left. But Prohm continues to whiff on big men. I’ve pointed this out before and everyone had some reason why i was wrong

He’s hit on some (solo, Jacobson, maybe Conditt) but he’s been wrong... really wrong... on more than a few now.

Prohm transfers always suck.

There are four good ones right there.

 

[trevn]

I think the prevalence of transfers has complicated recruiting in all aspects, including recruiting freshmen. Not saying transfers are bad, just saying that it (along with the one and dones) makes putting a roster together quite difficult.
