    ***2026 Iowa State Football Season Thread***

    This was a pretty disappointing listen. Busse didn't have much new info. I thought maybe he'd have some sources on this staff, but apparently not. Bud is always condescending, so that's par for the course.

    Jack Kohnen committed to Iowa State!!!

    Sheesh, relax guys. I didn't say I didn't like him. I'm not tearing him down. Just a critique in relation to his ranking. I love nothing more than elite shooters. I had just incorrectly assumed because of his high ranking that he had a higher ceiling athletically. The competition in the high...

    He was being guarded by post players and had elite footwork

    Williams & Blum: Iowa State has the top-ranked hoops recruiting class in America; breaking it down

    Ask the mods. It populated in my message, and I was unable to delete it. I've been getting way more of those pop ups while on the site.

    Jack Kohnen committed to Iowa State!!!

    He's taller. Naz was much more athletic and stronger, even as a freshman. There's no way Kohnen is getting to the hoop with the athleticism he has in that video. He looks slower than Momcilovic and if anything, I'd say less athletic than Thomas. Kohnen to me looks like Milan with more advanced...

    Williams & Blum: Iowa State has the top-ranked hoops recruiting class in America; breaking it down

    This was my hunch as well. This staff is always looking for "market inefficiencies" for lack of a better term. TBD on if developing classes is even possible in this environment.

    And I thought the Hawkeye posts in this thread were a terrible addition

    Jack Kohnen committed to Iowa State!!!

    Not going to lie, I came away from that video a little disappointed. He's not explosive at all and looks slow footed. I was expecting a little more athleticism. He has good size, but I don't see him being able to take a good Big 12 defender off the bounce. I guess I'll trust TJ and the...

    Athletic Facilities across the Nation

    I don't think it's talked about enough how ugly and generic Iowa's branding has become. Everything outside of their football jerseys are hideous, and the IOWA font that they slap on everything now is really bad.

    Without JJ and Tamin will milan be as productive at KY

    It's not like MM was just standing in the corner. A ton of our offensive motion was focused on getting him open looks. He got a lot of shots off pin downs and dribble handoffs. He also hit a lot of shots off pump fakes and side steps. I think a lot of fans are underestimating his contribution to...

    2026-2027 MBB computer projections thread

    It looks like Torvik is projecting a season that I expected last year. I thought we were due for a 4-6 seed, but Jefferson/Momcilovic/Lipsey upped their game and Toure added a key piece. I'm skeptical we can replace those top 3, but I'm done questioning TJ's whole is better than the sum of its...

    2026-2027 MBB computer projections thread

    I agree, but we would be drinking the kool aid if our first year head coach, known for winning at an incredible rate, led us to an Elite 8 and a win over a 1 seed. I do think they're in for a rude awakening, but I also think he's a good coach who will get as much out of the roster as possible.

    Milan Momcilovic withdraws from the 2026 NBA Draft

    I didn't come up with it. I responded to the guy who felt the need to clarify that a metaphor was not literal. Looks like his clarification helped you gather that much.
