What I’m saying. We probably are going to need to bump all to get solid players.

No one is questioning where TJ is the “right coach” for Iowa State.
And he didn’t take a 2-22 team to the NCAA tournament; he built an entirely new roster in like 4 weeks, instilled an entirely brand new culture to those entirely new players within like 12 weeks, and got that team to win 24 games and only lose ONE time to a team not in the Big 12.
Then why did you ask?
Also, this is a message board, 98% is opinion so if you want facts, maybe wait for ESPN to report stuff.
Do you think TJ does not and has not told players it’s best they leave? I think he has and it’s the right call.
In high school, I once asked a girl to a dance. The response I received was, "I don't care." We went to the dance together (based upon positive input from her friends) and had a terrible time. I consider her to be a friend now but that was awkward to say the least.
I'm curious about this Cluff guy. He looks like a good offensive player, but is bigger like Dishon and doesn't appear to be overly athletic. I'll trust the coaches but I was hoping for more raw athletic long bigs.
Pretty sure the NCAA-NIL settlement has led to expanding to 15 scholarships for men's basketball. So, it would make sense walk-ons may not be a thing for much longer.
I think your hope may need to be tamped down. TJ seems to like thicker bigs. The rim runners he had struggled with his style.
Agreed. I'm the only person I know that doesn't make mistakes. Or maybe I make all mistakes if I listen to my wife.
I said he took over a team that was 2-22, not the same personnel, but a program that was 2-22.
great coach no doubt, love that he is here. He wants to be here and that is awesome. We seemingly don't have to worry about him leaving. With that said, we as fans can point out or discuss things we think he should do differently, doesn't mean the fans are right though. I'm sure even he will evaluate himself as a coach and change a few things.
I see Clark as the guy with some bounce and speed to (and above) the rim that this group lacked.
I’m not sure I’m following most of this. My comments were in response to what was posted.
Because it happened before doesn’t mean it was okay then or now. And yes, players in Hoiberg’s years complained about negative social media comments. In fact, Hoiberg addressed it in a press conference in February of 2014.
My original post in this thread was to say that maybe we shouldn’t present things as fact when they aren’t. That shouldn’t be a controversial take.
Well Most TJ's recruiting classes have been failures and he's still here.
That's fair. I was just piggybacking on what the poster I quoted said "Just when I question T.J., I realize how much he's done for the program", not his exact quote but what was insinuated.
I kind of see it in the same vein. Of course it's fair to criticize him and he does make his fair share of mistakes but then I say to myself "but Iowa State is really lucky to have him".
We do know TJ meets with every player individually shortly after the season finishes, usually within a day or two. And I believe it was reported these meetings occurred Monday. So I can think we can safely assume TJ comes to an agreement with the players about their future at ISU
And yes, that is a message board assumption!!
If the Iowa coach offers me 500k and Tang offers me 2 Mill for a year. I am a purple kittie. Basically it's 6 months of playing for Kansas State for 2 million. Yes I absolutely would do that.
