Live look at the anti Prohm crowd...
It's just missing flames...
Stated in article was Prohm saying the two transferring was ‘player-driven’. And that he’ll help them any way he can moving forward.
I prefer to respect all involved, those conversations and decisions, and simply move on, wishing all the best.
Looking forward to tomorrow’s opener and opportunity to observe the team’s growth throughout the season.

I really root for lewis... Seems like a great kid that you'd want on your team.
Jeez.
The things people do for a free trip to Italy.

Yep. Absolutely right. I am beyond exhausted with this black or white (NO SHADES OF GREY DAMMIT! NO SHADES OF GREY!!!) mindset that if a transfer (or any player for that matter) doesn't average double digits in points that they are a "bust" or a waste of a scholarship.
There are only 200 minutes in a regulation game for a college basketball team to spread out among their players. There are many, many ways for a player to contribute without scoring 20 points a game.
His eFG was below 45% his soph and jr year at Colorado State. That team his soph year was one of the best in the MWC. I’m just saying 45% eFG is the equivalent of Nader as a junior. Now we have a 3 pt line moved back which is really going to stress his eFG even more.
Didn’t understand the 2 for 1 with him two years ago when we didn’t even offer Mooney. Maybe he can be a glue guy and be at least as efficient as someone like Korie Lucious. We just need another perimeter scoring option to be solid this year.
Is post malone the fat guy with the bad face tattoos? Guessing they are the same...
Big men recruiting is tough, but I’d like to think we could do better than it being clear a couple months in that it’s time to move on.
I wonder if we’ll see the staff start to take more versatile small forwards (like Ejim) and even guards rather than take bigs that are long shots?
Just getting home from work and seeing this, and I can't honestly believe there is anyone on here that thinks this is a bad thing. This is great news.
Like it or not, recruiting has become a cut throat world out there on both sides.... from the players and from the schools. Look how many times players are making commitments to schools, only to decommit (sometimes at the last minute, even after signing the lol) and enrolling at a different school.... which completely leaves the coach hanging out to dry.
Well, the coaches are now returning the favor somewhat in recruiting over some of these players if they think there's not much chance of them ever contributing meaningful minutes in their 4 years at the school. They don't necessarily kick them off the team, they just ask them to RS, or just plain tell them it would be in their best interest to play somewhere else if they ever want to see the floor. In a sense, you can look at that as doing the player a big favor.... why waste 4 years sitting on the bench at ISU if you can contribute elsewhere.
Leech was always going to be a HUGE reach IMO. It's a situation where you bring him in and hopefully he gets healthy and can get stronger, and you think he can become the 5 star player he once was. Luke was likely always going to be a role player at best here IMO, but I'd bet the staff found out he was kinda soft and would only ever be a potential 3 pt threat, but otherwise a liability on defense, etc. Or who knows... maybe he just didn't like the weather or just didn't fit in with the team, etc.
IMO.... this is only a positive thing. If CyTwins is correct and we land Foster, and possibly Dubar... it would be a HUGE upgrade. Why wouldn't any Cyclone fan be in favor of that?

CyTV is clockwork for me since 2013.
Can't get it working at the moment though...it's not taking my password or the reset password.
