    Way Too Early Top 25 roundup: Cyclones a consensus top 5 pick

    Assuming this came from the reddit post I think it did, the seeds are Lunardi's but the actual picks are just from a model that will spit out a new, semi-random bracket based on probabilities every time it's run (e.g. if the poster ran the model 100 times, Iowa State would probably beat...

    Tyrese Haliburton goes for Gold

    It's probably a snub, but Holiday was so important to the last Olympic team that it was probably really difficult to keep him off of the 2024 team.

    Tyrese Hunter Enters Portal Again

    To be fair, some of that (at least publically) came as a result of Kalscheur doing the same in the other direction. I have zero problem with fans relentlessly booing him during an Iowa State-Texas game, but in a game in which Iowa State isn't even playing (where this conversation started), it...

    Tyrese Hunter Enters Portal Again

    There are renowned hard workers in professional basketball who still don't become great shooters. Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant both shot about 33% from three for their careers. Now, you could say that they just chose to spend their time working on other things or that they decided a...

    ***Official 2024 Transfer Thread***

    I think in previous years they also did not announce the transfer signings all at once. The program announced a couple at a time based on when they committed/signed. It's worthwhile to remember that the portal timeline just feels a bit weird to us because Otz and staff work so quickly. They...

    Tyrese Hunter Enters Portal Again

    Not that a lot of people here are doing it, but I think it's weird to imply that Hunter has character concerns or isn't a hard worker. That seems counter to how everybody felt his freshman season when he was known for his defensive intensity and effort, poking balls away at the top of the key...

    In Memoriam: Ames Business/Restaurants

    West Towne used to be one of my go-to restaurants, but in my last couple of times there, it really felt like things had changed. I didn't necessarily notice a difference in the quality of food (though maybe there was that, too), but it didn't feel as clean, the booths felt old and not kept up...

    What Sports Do You Like?

    1) ISU men's basketball 2) ISU football 3) ISU women's basketball 4) NBA 5) St. Louis Cardinals 6) NFL 7) Rest of CBB and CFB 8) Rest of MLB It would be a different order, though, in terms of the hours that I watch. I probably watch a greater percentage of the available hours of the NFL than of...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I just got an electric bike delivered (the Ride1Up Turris). This weekend I'll be assembling it. I'm planning to use it for my daily commute most of the time. It'll be interesting to see how much I end up using it for errands and other things around town as well.

    Iowa State Transfer/Recruiting Class 2024

    Watson was also already playing the 4 this season in basically all of his minutes (save for a few lineups that they were just trying out in non-conference play).

    Campustown Redevelopment

    For pedestrians, a parking entrance with a garage door probably does increase safety some, too, because it's more clear when cars are entering and exiting.

    ESPN's Way-to-Early Top 25 in WBB for 24-25 lists the Cyclones at #10. What do you think?

    I'm not sure I would say *several* key portal acquisitions, but I do agree that I wouldn't see us as top 10 right now. I think I would say, though, that with a freshman to sophomore jump from Audi and Addy, and a 4/5 portal piece, top 10 could be possible with limited roster adds. For Ryan, I...

    ***Official 2024 Transfer Thread***

    Hadley is a high efficiency-low volume guy whereas Brockington was an okay efficiency-high volume guy. Hadley's usage rate with Colorado this season (15.6%) would have been the lowest of anyone for Iowa State who played except for Watson. A couple notable Iowa State/Big 12 player comps on...

    2024 solar eclipse

    The west Hy-Vee in Ames does have them, or at least did this morning. There were a couple of bins/shelves with them in the self-checkout area.

    ***Official 2024 Transfer Thread***

    The funny thing about the ripple of moves overall is that it was started by SMU, who let go a coach that went from 10-22 his first season to 20-13 his second season. SMU hired Enfield away from USC, who hired Musselman away from Arkansas, who is hiring Calipari. Rather than guys at smaller...
