Eric Mulder commits to Iowa State
- Thread starter LLCoolCY
- Start date
What makes you think that TJ doesn't recruit guys he needs out of the portal, even though their stats weren't the best? Take a look at a couple of the guys he's gotten. Didn't preform elsewhere at nearly the level they brought at ISU
Roll- I like cinnamon ones, not a huge fan of turkey ones
Role-projected place and or job on a team. I like players whose role is to kick ass.
I’m just teasing btw
What is Mulder’s wingspan? Seems to be a plus.
This is the epitome of a moneyball, “gets on base” signing. Exactly one of the pickups we needed.
We needed more flexible length and size. He gives us that.
He dunks better than anyone we had last year outside of Watson
He’ll give us another frontcourt player that can defend more than just post-ups. We need to get back to being able to cover ground.
When you need 4 runs, getting 3 singles and a home run is as effective as 4 home runs

As in room, board and tuition paid for?
I'm joking mostly, but it's pretty wild that fans have to cough up extra money and that a full ride, all expenses college education isn't enough to get a guy that goes for 8 and 5 in the Horizon league.
On the other hand, he was pretty efficient, and doubting Otz is a great way to be wrong.
Looks like he can finish at the rim and be strong with the ball.
This is a classic Otz money ball. It may not work every time but so far he's done pretty good at identifying analytics darlings that fit a role
After watching those highlights I've concluded his pump fakes aren't any good and he doesn't miss very many bunnies.
In listening to Williams and Blum they think he'll play about 20 min's a game so he'll be a back up 4 or 5 most likely. Doesn't sound like a starter.
Yeah probably.. It at least made some sense because Rob was almost a 7 footer. This guy is more of a tweener.
And yet we keep getting better... seems like our staff knows what they are looking for.
I’m not sure they said they think he’ll play 20 minutes/gm, but rather that he could play 20 minutes in a game if needed
He went for 11 and 6 in 20 minutes against UCF, and 12 and 11 in 27 minutes against PSU
If we get that from our 3rd or 4th big, at 1/8 the cost of Jackson, it’s been an elite offseason

He looks to have much more lateral foot speed than our bigs from this year, and a decent wingspan too. Switching on the perimeter is just as important these days for a big as it is to be able to rebound/block shots. If he has a high motor I think he can get some decent minutes.
We finished 5th in Big 12 and got humiliated in round of 32 in NCAAs. We were not better when it counts.
We were ranked 2nd in the country before being decimated by injuries
Yeah its called honesty and facts.
He's an analytically valuable player that probably didn't cost a lot that will spell Jefferson when he needs a break. Not everyone is going to be star players.
