I'm enjoying the show. After Fred left for the NBA I haven't cared as much as in the past. I still enjoy it but I've taken my emotional commitment down a few steps.
I have followed college basketball for over 40 years and have worked in college athletics. ISU cannot know if players or recruits will stay at ISU until the players have a chance to talk directly with TJ. TJ can't talk to them until he is ISU's coach. TJ could speak with his UNLV players and recruits- but then that wouldn't be really professional.
Does TJ have a relationship with any current ISU players? Did he recruit any to SDSU or UNLV? I am not aware that he did. TJ doesn't have familiarity with ISU players, he has familiarity with ISU and the Big 12.
The reality is hiring a head coach is rolling the dice. TJ could end up being the next Coach K. But at this point, based on his tenure at SDSU & UNLV- I think there are coaches with better resumes and play a style of basketball I prefer.
IMO the only reason TJ's name is being floated on this board is those people have a personal relationship with TJ and are vested in getting TJ back in Ames for personal gain. People love to say they personally know the head Football or Basketball coach.
My top pick is whoever is Pollards top pick. Have at it Pollard haters.
That guy has a record of 17-37 in two years at Presbyterian... lol
Fred recruited Georges, TJ had Naz and Thomas, Cornell Mann had Monte. Abdelmassih had most of the transfers.
Might as well look at Abdelmassih if we are looking to give the coach who brought in the most talent the HC job.
Yeah, until we know who interviewed (and who declined to be considered), I don’t see how anyone can have a super-strong opinion. If Altman is on the table and we hire TJ, I don’t think I’d be very excited. If Craig Smith turns us down, that’s another story entirely. A lot of the dream coaches in this thread have their pick of top jobs. ISU, at this point, may not be considered one.
Who is potentially coming from Kenosha or are we just scrutinizing every plane coming into ames?
Lol.....I'll be interested to see if any openings are filled this week.
I can see the announcement being made we are moving on, but no way a coach in the NCAA is leaving their bubble before the games.
Yep, Prestage Farms, Inc. of Clinton, North Carolina. They have a facility in Ames and many facilities all across Iowa. Big, big Ag company.
