I find it weird people think Prohm is this great recruiter.
Agreed. Recruiting is more than getting guys to campus. It's getting them to buy into the program with the desire to make the team better and commit to the university, not just sell them a pipe dream of making the NBA if they come play for you.
Do you know what year it is? Or do you just not like the idea of having elite talent?
I was with you 2 months ago. But there is no stability in this program right now. Hilton is a house built on sand unfortunately as it stands. And for the 1000th time, I like Prohm, I would have liked him to be the coach forever. I hate this.
I don't know how many non-renewals we'd have next year if Prohm was still the coach. Let me tell you I'm going to get tickets the same way I always have. That said, my wife and I were considering finally moving out of the corners to some of the side upper seats. If you think I'm paying 1 dollar more than I have to for tickets next year you're crazy. We'll be in the corners for now.
Let me also say that we've gone from a very robust secondary market to literally giving tickets away. I don't know how much season tickets will drop - but if you were somebody on the fence, it'd be really stupid to buy them because you'll be able to get tickets to every game for dirt cheap or free. I sold to KU Tickets last year for 6.00 each on stubhub because nobody was buying them. That's a sign your program is in a TERRIBLE place.
For the love. He's gotten caught doing the same thing Hoiberg did when he was our coach and we all talked about that like it was NBD.
This is how I knew our program was in trouble. I only missed a game or two for several years, but in 2018 there was a game I couldn't attend because of a wedding. I tried to just get face value for my seats and didn't have any takers. For years I had people approach me asking to pay for games I couldn't attend, but all of a sudden I had trouble giving them away. I'm sure this has only gotten worse since I dropped my seats.

The whole secondary market took a plunge when Fred left, and then just kept plummeting as Prohm's years went along.
Either swing for the fence with a homerun instant splash hire or ........ I'll take Bryan Petersen.
Use to play for....(or more like on the team) Hoiberg in his first year.
Grad Assistant coach to Hoiberg at Iowa State
Head coach at Kirkwood and took them to (2) National Championships
Now assistant to a 10-4 South Dakota State who ironically enough came in to Hilton and won.
Obviously, I don't think this will ever happen or should happen. If you want to buy a coach on the cheap who knows how to flat out coach Petersen could be a potential. Granted every player on Iowa State's team would transfer immediately after "Who?" came out of their mouth, but those who stuck around or showed up to campus would know how to play basketball.

Leave him alone. I'm making a lot of money betting against this team.
Disagree completely. Recruiting is getting them to campus. Coaching is the rest. Prohm can bring in talent, if you disagree with that you are wrong. He just doesn’t know what to do with it once it gets here.
I want the next coach to have exactly zero connections to Hoiberg. Move on people.
I was more referencing the fact that he was a player at Iowa State and even did a stint as grad assistant while at Iowa State. It really had nothing to do with who he was coached by or who was head coach when he did his grad assistant stint.
I can't believe there are 43 people that want to keep prohm lol
Recruiting is absolutely more than just getting them to campus. What’s the point of getting someone on campus if you can’t get them to buy into your program from the start?
Well, hiring a mid-major assistant coach to take over a Power 5 conference program would indeed be a bold move....normally it's the other way around.
I think they’re mostly Prohm apologists from the start who are still livid and insecure about Fred taking the Bulls job and don’t want to be wrong about their “Steve is a better coach than Fred was” take they made back in 2016.
Who says they didn’t buy in? They bought in or they wouldn’t be here. They just have no direction on the vision. That’s coaching.
