LOL, Beard is 10x the coach and developer of talent than Prohm is.
And he wanted Grill and nobody wanted Toussaint

He's a bull. He's a pretty good finisher and already an okay defender. There are obvious issues, but any freshman will have those.

Not disagreeing that Beard is a much better coach. I'm also not going to talk bad about Prohm's developing of talent when he literally had two players get drafted last year and will have a lottery pick this year.LOL, Beard is 10x the coach and developer of talent than Prohm is.
notedToussaint's ceiling is pretty low which is why nobody wanted him. A tiny guard who can't shoot or handle the ball is not a recipe for success
Yeah, it is obvious that Joe will be a productive college player.

If Prohm "developed" these players, is he also responsible for the regression of Wiggington last year? Is Prohm responsible for the lack of development of Conditt? Is Prohm responsible for how bad Nixon, Jacobson, and others have been this year? Is Prohm responsible for why Grill (who Twins claims is so highly sought by other programs) has been so bad?
Wigginton got worse last year? I wouldn't say that.. He averaged less points because he was playing on a much more talented team. Conditt is still a sophomore. Jacobson was pretty good last year. Grill is an 18 year old freshman who just started focusing on basketball. Nixon was a whiff, I'll agree on that.If Prohm "developed" these players, is he also responsible for the regression of Wiggington last year?

Prohm not having a 4 sport athlete like Grill ready to go as a freshman is a fireable offense
If you don't play hard, you don't play. That was part of the reason for Lewis not playing much before this, but he's now going to have to because of Halliburton's injury.
Agree....success on the court...totally rejuvenated fan base. Beard is one of the best.@dexterhawk as another example of what I was just talking about, see the fresh, new "Thad Matta Next ISU head coach" thread.
Puke
Beard is a god damn miracle worker.
The problem is I think he really likes Iowa State and feels at home here. Some guys are like that.I agree, hate it when a guy doesn't reach his potential because of effort. Wonder if a change of scenery would do him some good. A fresh start by transferring would maybe get him refocused.

So your argument here comes down to Grill, Conditt, and Wigginton.. all underclassmen lol. You're wondering why they haven't been great in their first or second year of college basketball..
I don't think Grill is going to be great. He doesn't need to be great. He just needs to be solid. Matt Thomas was great. Grill is very smart and he's very athletic. He was a good shooter and scorer in high school but is obviously not ready at this moment to play against this competition.Basketball is much more of a sport you can tell pretty early how good a player can be (obviously not all the time, but lots of the time). Sure lots of times they do struggle with typical Fr. struggles, but you can also see the talent many times as well. Who knows, maybe Grill turns out to be great (I don't see it), but it could happen.

Four sport athletes should go play college football not basketball.
If he doesn't come back he should seriously look at Drake.I agree, hate it when a guy doesn't reach his potential because of effort. Wonder if a change of scenery would do him some good. A fresh start by transferring would maybe get him refocused.
Yeah Allen Iverson says hi lol.Better email Chris Beard about this
