Love the rebound numbers for a guy who primarily plays on ball.
Horton is my favorite combo guard we've had. Still love that shot standing on the blue and yellow prairie chicken at AFH.You have to look no further than Jaren to see how important a combo guard who can slide over and comfortably and effectively handle the point can be. If you need more historical reference see Mike Nurse. Somewhat more recent? Nick Babb. There are a few ISU teams who would have been in huge trouble without those skills from guys who weren't point guards. Just like this team would struggle without Jalen to back up the PG position. Jeremiah Williams is just another chapter in the lesson that depth at any position can quickly evaporate.

Nurse would dominate today's twitter game too. One if not the best interviewee's/quotes ISU has ever had. Much more subtile than Niang.He's one of my favorite ISU players ever. Could probably have started at PG for several good teams and could do a lot of things.
Tinsely/Horton/Nurse was the most dynamic 1-3 spot ISU's ever had and they'd dominate in today's game too imo.
And still there are those on here that hold Sullivan higher.He's one of my favorite ISU players ever. Could probably have started at PG for several good teams and could do a lot of things.

Pretty much the whole staff, they work as a team in many parts. I would probably say Jr would be the “head” recruiter. But Micah Byers is pretty important. He sets upAnd still there are those on here that hold Sullivan higher.
TJ has proven he can recruit, but he's not doing it alone. Who else on staff should be getting credit?
Niang and Melvin for me. Not only were they outstanding on the court they were great ambassadors for the university. Quality guys all around!Mike Nurse is my favorite ISU player ever. There was never a player as tough as him. Got hit by a truck during the week crossing Lincoln Way and saved the day in Hilton that Saturday.

I don't see Jake Sullivan tossed out as a favorite much here. Maybe I am missing it? Great shooter and a 4 year guy, great Cyclone. But we have some great players that have accomplished some great things that I hear named more frequently.And still there are those on here that hold Sullivan higher.

I think his post-Cyclones life has had some less than great moments regarding ISU basketball. IIRC something like he was publicly talking about them not recruiting the state enough, etc. Far from an expert on that but I'd imagine it's at least partially that - and especially when more recent guys like Georges, Monte, Haliburton and others have both had more professional success as players AND are always talking up ISU/Ames.I don't see Jake Sullivan tossed out as a favorite much here.

Makes sense. I knew it wasn't recent or anything and wasn't a huge deal, but knew there was something.He didn’t get along with McDermott. Since Greg left he has been good to Iowa State.

He wanted ISU to recruit Iowa more 3 years ago.Makes sense. I knew it wasn't recent or anything and wasn't a huge deal, but knew there was something.
Can understand that.He didn’t get along with McDermott. Since Greg left he has been good to Iowa State.

You gotta remember though... He was the owner of Kingdom Hoops AAU and thought all the kids there could play at ISU. We didn't recruit anyone from there.We do recruit Iowa, when there is someone worth recruiting
If this interview doesn’t get you pumped to get DP on campus, not sure what will…
