2025 Transfer Options

[Ankency]

Some updates on names mentioned or familiar-
Conor Enright is going to Indiana, as rumored
Langston Love is going from Baylor to Georgetown
Cam Manyawu & Kael Combs are following McCollum to Iowa

Also, Camden Heide from Purdue, who is a very similar player to Nate Heise, is in the portal - if we wanted to double-up the Heise/Heide

Big miss. He was able to help fill three positions

Not surprised. When I heard both parents were UW grads and he grew up as a Bucky, I thought Rohde would tough to land.

When he didn’t hit the portal right away, seemed like there were unfavorable things in motion…like waiting to see if Wisconsin would be a possibility.

What an absolute colossal fumble by the coaches with Rohde. He wanted to come to ISU. He was on campus for a visit. And they somehow screwed it up. Simply and utterly embarrassing

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.

So as long as Batemon has a good handle, can dribble-drive and makes good decisions- he should be able to handle PG role in ISU's offense.

The better teams have multiple guys who can handle and distribute. We had four different guys running the offense at times this year.

Ok, so what's the story, since you're very willing to blame this side?

Imagine being this hyperbolic about a player I’m guessing you’ve watched only a YouTube highlight video of.

 

[SoleCyclone]

I'm not saying it's an either/or but my personal opinion would be Kennard Davis Jr over Rohde. More physical multi positional player with 2 years left. Rohde is a 1 and done I believe

 

[ISUCubswin]

Going into the dead period with 2 open schollies probably isn’t what TJ and Co anticipated but hopefully gives the chance to breath and reconfigure.

 

[Texbudman]

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.

But, that’s partly due to how few NBA teams there are compared with D1. I don’t know, I don’t fall squarely on one side of the fence. I guess what I’m lamenting is that kids don’t have to sign multi-year contracts.

Honest question, and this isn't directed just to you, and maybe it's a dumb question, but do players still really go to class? With all the transferring and money involved I just wonder. When was the last time we heard of a player-in any sport-be declared academically ineligible? It's just crazy times

Should we have duct taped him and coerced a commitment? lol

May have been hesitation on our end too. This staff has pulled together a nice fitting class every ******* year, so maybe give them the benefit of the doubt

 

[Red & Yellow Clones]

Any updates on potential portal transfers? ones that ISU are contacting or looking at?

 

[exCYtable]

Looking over east, not really impressed with what Ben has done so far, and i think their fans are a little antsy, too. I think the net losses are greater than the net gains. Stirtz obviously is great, but loss of Freeman, Dix and Sandfort (likely) is pretty significant.

[clonehenge]

I’d take Hall in a heartbeat mostly because he is opposing player that frustrates me the most in the Big 12.

His buddy Richie frustrated me the most.

Package deal with Buchanan?

Shot 34.7% from three.

There are literally a half-dozen alternates to this kid that likely would perform just as well in TJ's system. Whether we get one of them to commit here is another matter, but it hardly seems like a "colossal fumble."

I love stupid people.
