good analysis. some weird quotes/lines
Anyone with a subscription care to elaborate?
Well that ceiling was fun to read lolheres a snipit
The ceiling
Harris and Hinson receive their waivers, the team connects instantaneously and Iowa State rights itself to challenge Kansas and Baylor in the Big 12, before rolling to another Sweet 16 season. That’s a wildly successful turnaround after the 12-20 disaster, but it’s not out of the question. Despite their issues last season, the Cyclones retained their Hilton Magic, finishing 11-6 at home. A good team makes that place impossible to visit.
The floor
Harris and Hinson aren’t cleared, and no one becomes the go-to scorer/de facto leader to replace Haliburton, and the Cyclones break their good/bad cycle and go back-to-back bad. With everything going on in the world these days, it would seem like a good time to get NCAA dispensation, but predicting waiver decisions is a dangerous game.
Unfortunately some fans will take that "ceiling" as the "expectation".Well that ceiling was fun to read lol
I swear to God if we make the tournament and people start whining we lose too early...Unfortunately some fans will take that "ceiling" as the "expectation".

Basically counting on Hinson and Harris eligibility to have a chance at a good season (if there is a season)...
I believe the no sit out rule for transfers is going to be in effect next year? So there's no reason they would not be cleared. The NCAA will have a field day with trying to determine eligibility though. They'd essentially have to grant waivers to every single student athlete no? And then how would that work with incoming recruits?Given NCAA history I hope they are cleared for 21/22 season after this season is cancelled.

I would love to think that the NCAA would do the right thing in this scenario but doing the right thing goes against their credo.I'm kind of serious that they might not count this season as sitting out if it's cancelled, blueblood programs exempt obviously.

I think Hinson could end up being the most vocal player out there. Harris not too far behind him. Obviously that's if both guys get their waivers.To their point on "the floor", the silver lining of Tyrese getting injured is that Rasir stepped into that go-to scorer role. So I think that is established. We just need a better group around him. The de facto leader doesn't seem settled yet though.
