Jefferson is an All-American

Hate to say it but gotta get past the Sweet 16 to really be considered something in that realm. Too many people around the country see ISU as that team that always has a good resume but can't be trusted in the dance.
No. Nothing we've done in March warrants us being in that conversation.
I think winning a natty is the floor for blue blood light talk and even then, it's gotta be baked in over decades.
Baylor did and has been good to very good for over a decade and I wouldn't put them in that convo.
KSU got to the EE twice over the last ten years and the same thing.
PJ Haggerty an honorable mention as a complete empty stats 3-time transfer for a team that had their coach fired before the season ended as an honorable mention is a joke
JFC Darryn Peterson would be a coaches nightmare. Unless him and his agent can present very long and complete explanations (with contract guarantees) of how his "Ican'tplaytonightitis"will be cured by entering the NBA, I would avoid him like the plague.

I've seen him generally project late first round. Probably won't be as effective in the paint and will have to develop his game more on the perimeter. He'll definitely need to improve his handle against NBA defenders. Still, a strong 6-9 guy with great footwork who can shoot, pass, and defend will have a long NBA career. A similar comp, I think, is Kyle Anderson with a much better shot/offensive game.
We all "hated" JJ at points throughout the season.
W/o him we woulda been at best, mediocre.
I've always been a strong supporter of "Great young Cyclone athletes."
Josh is one of many.

A lot were definitely hard on him, but that also comes with the territory of being the star player.
Shouldn't have said, "all," but damn he got abused on threads, BIGTIME
Every yr is someone. Big Rob Energy, was that way, not the same player as JJ but he played to the best of his abilities and had a heart of a lion. Matt Thomas was rode like a pony by this fan base until his Jr and Sr yr. Whipping boys are popular even though 99.999% of the people bitchibg couldn't do what the player is doing.
Jefferson has been by far our best player to receive the treatment he got. It has to be because he doesn’t show emotion.
There will a few 'doesn't even care's Friday when it's a tight game, probably assumptions that he let the AA thing go to his head and is thinking about the NBA, etc.
Then if ISU pulls away his line will be like 20/8/6 with 2 turnovers.
Haggerty HM and Milan not is ridiculous.
My favorite is he doesn’t care. Second favorite is he turns it over too much even though he has a better A/TO ratio than Niang, Royce, Kane, etc.
