5th leading scorer on the 7th place WCC team. This one has Prohm written all over it.

 

[peteypie]

The list of top 5 suitors does not really add up to his production to me.

 

[CyTwins]

Career 37.4% 3 point shooter. Not great size and doesn't appear to be great at anything

And Hurley, Enfield, Pastner and Marshall? I don't know if he'll change the season for ISU but there are some solid programs/coaches that want him. (many more that didn't make the top 5.)

He did average 15 ppg 2 years ago, I haven't watch many Santa Clara games. Looks like he went from starter to backup role which seems concerning unless there was an injury.

It’s spring everyone is desperate and reaching this kid has to be shocked with these offers

 

[ChickenNuggetMan]

No size. 3P% has decreased 5% every year. Average ball handling.

Good free throw shooter, but do not want.

It's a odd top 5, kid had a good jr year but kind of fell off this season. On paper, nothing jumps out, he's 6'2, shot 33% from 3, seems a little Nixon-y.

Nixon looked to be a better scorer on as bad of a team in a worse conference maybe he’s a good defender?

Doesn't appear to be a good defender either

Only thing I like is that other decent schools want him.

Not everyone Prohm brings in is going to be a homerun. Some on here act like Prohm wakes up and decides to tank the program further.

Not intentionally but yes he does

Yikes

Why are they even interested in him?

 

[Javinegli]

I think we are to the point right now where we just need to get more bodies in to fill out the roster. With Solo being the lone senior at this point, we need to get one maybe two grad transfers to balance out the classes.
This scholarship is essentially filling Grill's spot for this year, so how much are we really counting on for big minutes? This is very important in practice also. Remember when we had zero walk-ons and couldn't even practice 5 on 5?
We are going after some big fish also, but need backup plans. These 3-4 openings need to fill out the roster more than anything. Significant playing time is a bonus.

 

[ISUCubswin]

This guy would be a solid bench piece for a solid program, hence 4 of the 5 schools involved.

And then there’s Iowa State

If you are just trying to get bodies to fill the roster, you can do that in May. There's no reason to already be taking a "roster filler" guy this early in the process.

Yeah I'm seeing it the same way. Would much rather have the juco guard Keon Ellis, to fill a similar role. He at least has some size and length

 

[CyTwins]

Has a Nixon feel to him but his offer list is actually impressive so who knows. If he wants to come I'm sure you take him

because Prohm is incredibly desperate. We’re also targeting a Pitt shooting guard who shoots 31% from 3. Prohm doesn’t seem to realize he can’t win without guys who can shoot from outside.
