    Milan Momcilovic withdraws from the 2026 NBA Draft

    Say the portal opened on the same day as the deadline for deciding whether to stay in the draft. On that day, a few thousand players enter the portal, including all the big names. Would Milan be getting $6 million offers? Maybe something more in line with what ISU could afford? Close enough to...

    I didn't see Batemon as a PG. He looked like a prototypical scoring 2 to me. Johnson will alleviate the 2nd PG concern.

    Northwestern is obviously not on the same level as current ISU, but they do have a decent coach and I'm sure their fans (how ever many there are) wish Singleton had stayed past his freshman year. Otherwise, yeah, I agree about TJ's transfers. I don't agree that it was "purely a money grab."...

    I wish Milan would remain a Cyclone, but I understand and accept the circumstances. I will follow how he does next year and I hope he does well. I also have no problem with isufbcurt feeling the way he does and expressing it.

    Interesting new top 25 in the Athletic today. ISU at 23, several spots behind Iowa, among others. Writer includes Mason Williams as a "key returner" and the 3 freshmen all as "unranked transfer." Details.

    Xzavion Mitchell is officially returning

    He didn't play again after, evidently, being injured. He never took off his sweatpants. Maybe he could've played, but he didn't.

    Milan Momcilovic withdraws from the 2026 NBA Draft

    I believe you are correct. That's what's odd to me about the hurt feelings. Milan played 3 years for ISU, arguably the best 3-year stretch in Cyclone mbb history. He talked it over with TJ, no surprises. Tyrese was a 2-year Cyclone with the 2nd being a bad team and him injured. He jumped to the...

    3-point shooting was their only real weakness this past season. There might be a decent shooter available.

    I will remember him as a Cyclone.

    So does the NBA or NCAA release a list at midnight? I guess I didn't think we'd have wait until the absolute deadline to get Milan's decision.

    The pitching held up, valiantly, as injuries piled up. It couldn't last. The hitting was obviously an illusion. Nico was going to be the NL MVP. Ballesteros was hitting .400. Suzuki was rolling. Just wait til Bregman and PCA get hot! All a mirage.

    I would think it would take offensive skills to get out of a wet paper bag. Someone with defensive skills would just sit in the bag and dare you to try and get them out! ;)

    I get what you're saying, but very few is more than none. To your other point, it's not the last 10 years I'm apprehensive about. It's the next 10.
