So.... would it be smart to not let several posters sway us into thinking (or should I say, assuming) that he's coming here? Portal announcement or not.
AJ Green Leaves the Portal - Staying in Draft
- Thread starter cyfan92
- Start date
This is what you have to resort to? Got anything but a straw man ?
There's no doubt the Big12 is a tougher league.
But the fact remains that Green is an elite scorer and will score in Cardinal and Gold. He's a contested 3 bucket getter, which we need badly.
All I know is that 1800 points in 3 years on outstanding percentages translates to any league. The Valley is an outstanding league that's been around forever and he put up numbers that only guys like Oscar Robertson and Hersey Hawkins surpassed.
He also had really good games against teams from outside the league. He was a Top 80 recruit that would have had all kinds of suitors had he had a 'normal' recruitment.
I just get really frustrated (and that's totally on me, not pointing fingers) when I read 'but MVC' 'but not P6'. There's tons of good basketball played outside those leagues and when you win 2 POYs in The Valley, you can play anywhere. There's a whole other basketball world out there.
My apologies for getting snarky.

AJ Green is a great player. He is a definite upgrade to our roster if we get him.
Big 12 is the SEC football of basketball.
We need to reload just to compete. The league might deserve 8-9 tourney team but is only going to get 6 after they beat each other up.
We wouldn't want to take away from the media's hard on for the Big10.....
Jay Wright is retiring from Nova. Gotta think if they were an option for AJ, they aren’t anymore.
Also, FWIW, he follows Grill, Jaz, Maggie Espenmiller McGraw, Donarski, and James Pollard on IG.

Some of you will never get it. Everyone has an opinion whether premium is worth it or not, but all I read is a lot of justification for not doing it, which u have every right to do.
There are a lot of similar comments about why people don't give to the National Cyclone Club. I guess it must feel better to publicly state why u are using a free board when they are paying for developers costs and web services to give u free content.
Try doing it because it is good to have a dedicated source of ISU information; try doing it because they promote the ISU brand; try doing it because a recruit or his parents might join to see what they can learn about lSU before they commit. Wow.
I must be the only one getting ads that cover 40% of my phone screen.
The looks I got when I told Bucky fans that tthey hadn't seen a defense like ISU for a very long time if ever...
Yeah I actually USED to whitelist CF because I like CF, but I had to start blacklisting them, sadly. Their phone ads are frankly unacceptable.

Great post - and accurate. The kid can play!
You are right to get snarky. There are great players in every league. I have always said in our pre conference season, EVERY team you play has at least one guy you wish you had on your team. If Green comes, and I certainly hope he does, he will be a very valuable addition. I think he is a classic, traditional 2 guard. Don’t let some people get to you. UNI has a great program and has had many outstanding teams and players. I have gone to many games at UNI as I grew up and lived in Waterloo. I played in the Dome several times. UNI runs a program to be proud of - in a very good league.
The ads when you go to the site on mobile are when it is bad. desktop version is fine.
You didnt hear it from me...Brave, shh.Man. I get ads on both.
I chose well. My wife's the one that made the bad decision.
