Wasn't televised.I had to do research, not a layup, but a missed short shot & desperation shot at buzzer. (Barnes and Sullivan were a combined 4-for-26 shooting).

I don't remember that game firsthand at all, I must have had other commitments.
I hate to interrupt the pissing match about the NIL values of two 6'6" midwestern basketball players but I do have a question.
With the offense TJ runs, I question whether a traditional PG is critical. Tamin was 3rd in assists behind Gilbert and Jefferson over the Big12 season. Lipsey averaged under 3 apg.
I think they already were, but it seems Wisconsin has become our de facto #1 recruiting rival.
Good point. I guess the question is whether he can handle the ball well enough against defensive pressure.
Thanks. Thought that might've been the case.
I have a grown man's body. I hope his isn't like mine.
Jefferson is 6'8" and had a size advantage over almost everyone we played at the 4
woof, clearly its been too long of a day already. For some reason i thought he was taller. Great pull, thanks!
So is the hang up with him$$? Think the Heise comparison is spot on. Maybe a bit higher upside, but still a bit of a gamble. The fact that he seemingly had some type of issue on his visit is a red flag to me. On the surface, seems like a good fit for TJ so him having even a small issue surprised me.
Not really sure what the issue is with him. Sounds like maybe TJ and him didn't hit it off?? That is just what is being said on this site that I have read. Not sure if it's true or not.
Was a wild environment for an NIT game. Had to have been a sellout and Iowas little guard might have hit the game winner and let everyone know about it.I had to do research, not a layup, but a missed short shot & desperation shot at buzzer. (Barnes and Sullivan were a combined 4-for-26 shooting).

Perplexing to me. If indeed it was an issue with TJ (and complete speculation on that) needs to be a hard pass I would think. Hardly ever hear about a visit not going well. Just seems like this guy would be our type of guy.
This is one of the reasons the current NIL mess is so silly. In the NBA you don’t bring Georges Niang into your office and ask him what he wants out of his time in Cleveland. Front offices talk, and decide to trade employees. That’s it. “Catch the next plane to Atlanta, Georges.” I’m speculating, but it seems the reason it’s so difficult for schools like Iowa State to compete in this environment is that the first question they get is, “How much can you pay me”—to which the real answer that no one can say out loud is, “Not as much as some schools”—then even if a kid doesn’t walk once he gets a number, some essentially want to discuss What can you do for me. I’m all for freedom-of-labor, but it’s so ridiculous we have to pretend these aren’t employees, and worse, *that they are allowed to school hop and there are virtually no consequences for doing so.* That is my NBA point. Outside of the cream of the crop, role players are hoping to get picked up, teams have leverage. Not the other way around. If Team A decided to trade with Iowa State, it wouldn’t matter what John Doe feels.
