And those were all 1 year sit our transfers.
Terrence Lewis transferring
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
We need to find two guys to average 3 ppg or fewer. That doesn't seem insurmountable.
Jacobson wasn’t good. Shayok was about the best outcome possible. Getting a transfer of that caliber isn’t something I would bank on happening.
Nobody wants that to happen but the fact of the matter is, most people how Steve works and what his history has showed and it doesnt leave much hope. I think people want to cut the losses right now instead of just delaying the inevitable.
Just yuck. Everything is yuck. Grocery stores empty, towns are becoming ghost towns, sports cancelled, people getting sick, players transferring, cold and rainy day. Yuck, just yuck.
We are upset because Iowa State can't win. Prohm can't win. We don't have big 12 athletes. Those players are shown the door/ leave so Prohm can have the potential to reload with athletes who can compete at our level. We respond with more criticism.
Is it justified, yep. Is it overreaction. Nope. It's just.....yuck.
Iowa State would have won the Big 12's in Track and probably been a top 10 national team again for the Men and possibly made us all smile for 1 day or so.........but yet.........yuck just yuck.

One weird thing to me is Steve is about to have one of his players go in the Draft Lottery and he cannot build on it.
Wait you actually think Prohm wanted to keep both of them? Zion Griffin is left handed but you wouldn't know that because he can't dribble with either hand and 90% of his shots were so flat that the defense knew to run to the front of the rim when he shot. Lewis was so bad defensively that opposing players demanded the ball when he guarded them.. Prohm didn't want to keep either of them. If they decided to leave on their own, all they did was make it easier for Steve.
And I really hope we're able to find guys better than those two because we were down to 8 guys at the end of the year when Bolton went out, and Zion and Lewis STILL struggled to get playing time.
Watch Foster's highlight tape and you'll see why I don't have to answer that question lol.
Grill was pretty under the radar until he blew up his senior year. By the time his name was popping up he had already committed to Otz.
His history of what.. 2 bad years and 3 good years? I mean look i'll agree with you that Steve may not be the right fit but you don't get rid of a guy with Steve's accomplishments in this short amount of time. It would scare off a lot of potential candidates.
You fire Prohm now and the entire top 25 class goes bye bye and Foster falls into Fran's lap. Not gonna happen.
In reference to solo-a solid and could be a burgeoning good post will be the starter. Conditt-developing big with lacking post offense due to slight frame, good rebounder and shot blocker will be the backup. Foster- good skills for a big man but needs weight room work will see time at the 4. I wouldn't call these guys a three headed monster quite yet.
So...it's obvious the players leaving are declaring in alphabetical order right? That means Bolton, Conditt, Jackson and Johnson are good. It's just Solo now 
The players coming in will probably make the roster better. But the sad thing is it’s because anyone but Steve prohm helped those transfers develop into players. Grill saw the writing on the wall and didn’t want to end up being T Lewis in 2 years. A player with a ton of athleticism that was never coached up. How many D1 basketball games do you watch where more than a couple player just don’t know what they are doing.. it’s a prohm problem not a player problem.
Obviously this season as a whole is a disappointment but I'm still happy with Prohm from a standpoint of seeing recent success (Big12 titles, sweet 16 ect) and he has a pretty highly ranked recruiting class for next year. Obviously if next year doesn't pan out, then I think it's time for a change. However, can't say how much I respect the fact that Prohm cares about the players beyond basketball (we oftentimes as fans only care what they do for us on the court). How many other coaches are so sleezy they'll do anything to win or find new ways to cut corners.
Also hate how some of our fans think Prohm wakes up and tries to figure out how he can tank the program. I guarantee you he hates losing more than any of us. He definitely needs to tweak some things, but I choose to stay positive for the kids that are still there and are working hard to represent the school we love.
Yeah, someone probably will next year. But that’s the last one this year unless Prohm is fired...
