What’s with the hand signals?

I'm like 99% sure that means ice in his veins

What’s with the hand signals?

It's a common one that 3 pt. shooters use. I think it's ice in the veins.

What about the left hand?

 

[Statefan10]

What about the left hand?

Left hand is holding up 3 fingers for a 3 pointer.

He's returning to the same type of environment where he had all his previous issues. It looks to me like he plans to join his new team right away and play in the Fall.

That's a really quick turnaround from being a locker room cancer, picking fights, taking cheap-shots with opposing players, refs etc., getting T'd up in those situations which cost the team wins, and becoming hostile towards his coaches and teammates alike. All to the point where he was kicked off the team. All that's only what's public. And then he hinted that he was possibly suicidal. That's a lot of baggage to have sorted out in a few weeks.

But hey, good luck to him. I think the 3 guys we just got in the portal will all be better players and teammates when it's all said and done.

No one has said he got it sorted out.

This might not be very good for him, but if he wants to keep playing basketball, he can't afford to step away.

Oh no, Caleb joined a gang!

Also, there is a lot to life besides basketball. A "new environment" might not be about the game at all, but getting away from friends, a partner, a living situation, academic stresses, or any number of things that were making life difficult for him in Ames.

 

[ISUChippewa]

So is it down to WVU or Mizzou at this point? Are there any other schools that have even been mentioned yet?

 

[3TrueFans]

Oh no, Caleb joined a gang!

The haircut was a gang initiation test, it's the only explanation.

 

[Statefan10]

Decision is made and I'm very happy he's not a Mountaineer!

 

[heitclone]

Glad he left the big 12, can't blame him for going to Mizzou, Gates is a great coach.

He liked the way they kicked our ass.

 

[CyLyte2]

It’s much closer to home. Good decision by him.

Assuming Kwame Brown is back for one more year, they are going to be really good. Bates (IU), Tonje (CSU) and Grill is a very good haul in the portal.

 

[Cyforce]

Huggins' players LOVE him! Going back to his Cinci days...his players would run through walls for him!

Now, going to class was a different story.

 

[cyfanatic]

Now, going to class was a different story.

There are plenty of college basketball coaches that know exactly what they are employed to do...and it isn't graduating valedicatorians!

 

[Sigmapolis]

Good -- I hope he does well in the SEC and we don't coincidentally run into the Tigers.

The last thing he probably needed was a return to Ames as a Mountaineer.

 

[ISUChippewa]

I wish him nothing but the best from this point forward, and I hope he conquers his demons.

That being written, living in a sh!thole, a$$ backwards, white trash filled state like Missouri would be very harmful for my own personal mental health, but to each their own...

 

[CloniesForLife]

Mizzou runs a pretty fun offense. Feel like he will fit in nicely for them. They should have a pretty good team. Glad we don't have to play him next year

 

[CycloneVet]

Well if he keeps his mouth shut then he will be wished well…
