Or, you know, the 7th guy. But please don’t start letting facts get in your way now.

that roster would have made 2014 Kentucky look weak.

Yeah, your right. It’s Hoibergs fault. Not only was it his job to hand him a stacked roster, he was expected to hand off a full bench full of future stars, AND do his recruiting for him to make sure he had enough depth in Year 3.

Is Prohm also not to blame for years 6 and 7? Let me guess, Fred didn’t do a good enough job reaching out to 7th graders and getting them hyped to come to ISU for Prohm?

This is all ridiculous. It’s Prohms program, h owns his failures.

I will give you credit. You certainly don’t let any facts get in your way.

You made up one argument, which was wrong. There were 6 big 12 caliber players on that roster. Would have been 7 if Naz would not have been hurt.

depth cost that team at least 4 games.

and then of course you go ridiculous, because you’re embarrassed.

there is not one person that doesn’t think prohm is responsible for what’s happened with the program. There’s enough to legitimately criticize, there’s no need to make **** up.

The numbness/apathy is what gets me. Another loss or a win doesn’t matter anymore. There’s no postseason hopes or even any sort of hope/momentum for the future. It’s a low point in the program. Which sucks, now that football is at its high point. Can’t have both I suppose.
I wonder what Hilton would look like if we could have fans? Probably not too different than what it looks like now.

Are you freaking joking? I joked about him not giving him a good 9th or 10th guy off the bench.... turns out I was off by one spot on the bench (wasn’t trying to be exact in the first place) and you go off on this ridiculous rant about “facts?” Ps -you forgot to count NWB, my “facts” were right.

What a perfect example of a poster missing the point, not realizing it, and being a huge Dbag about it to boot. Take a step back and look at the real point here, instead of desperately trying to play gotcha over meaningless things.

There's a better chance that he comes back next year than there is of him getting sacked in the middle of the season

And imo I think it doesn't help the program all that much at this point if they let him go like this Sunday. Sure many in the fanbase would be relieved but that seems like bad optics from anyone outside who sees it go across the bottom of the ESPN screen.

I suppose maybe if an assistant took over and they won a couple of games but again, outside of ISU fans no one will notice.

Oh, and I’ll make fun of anyone who tries to claim Prohm was put in a tough spot because he wasn’t handed a deep enough bench. This is college basketball, most new coaches are handed rosters with huge gaping holes.
Hoiberg played a 5'11" power forward and his 2nd best player was jamie vander beeken his first year and the results are better than year 6 prohm

Watching a Minnesota game today. Man alive we play really really small ball. It is really difficult to have Bolton and another small guard on the court at the same time. I think it would be doable if they were all ball handlers, but we have exactly like 0 of those.

Outside of 14-15 it's not like depth was much of a thing at ISU to start with or it is anywhere outside some years the blue bloods can play an A and B team.

if you’re not even going to do the math right, you’re kind of proving my point. There are enough real things to criticize, making things up makes you look bad.
