I won't show any hatred for either. Both did their best while at ISU and represented the university with grace and class. Just go a hundred miles east or so if you want to see how your university could be represented...

I was just thinking I needed to read another Hoiberg Prohm argument. Thanks fam
Fred is now at Nebraska. I want him to fail miserably.
Fred has quit a mess going on. Not sure he should have run off the entire team, they did have some serviceable guys that he probably would have been able to win with. Not sure how many of his new guys are transfers that are sitting out, but it is going to be a long season unless they figure something out that works.
I'll wait until like year 3 of his time in Lincoln (if he even stays that long--kind of a journeyman lately) but you have to wonder if he'll be able to interject much into the program.
Also makes you wonder what he'd really be doing at ISU now.

If he had stay at Iowa State, his lack of high school recruiting would have caught up to him. I think he would have had a rough 2-3 years once Morris left.
It would have been interesting...he got really good high school recruits and that doesn't get mentioned enough since *some* fanbases were so triggered by getting transfers.
Very true, he was able to pull in great recruits, but after Morris and Thomas class in 2013, none of his recruits really worked out.
he only got good high school kids when he was interested in recruiting. That stopped.
Right but that stopped because he had a foot out the door (or both).
If he stayed at ISU, it would have been interesting to see how things would have gone.
We will never know, but I doubt the strategy of going after transfers (that market was about to get a whole lot more competitive) and 5* players (not a big enough fish to swim in those shark-infested waters) was going to work out.
I prefer a staff that is willing to and has a track record of grinding it out for 4* and putting in the work to find 3* with some upside potential and a good fit while being strategic about JUCO players and transfers to supplement additional needs but not as the foundation for the roster.
If you call almost winning the NIT in the very first year and getting into the second round (what we today would call the "third round") of the NCAAs in the second year "underperforming".
