RECRUITING: Tyrese Haliburton commits
- Thread starter JStanz51

Another excellent addition. Tall guard that can pass the ball. Welcome to ISU Tyrese. May be the next episode in our history of all conference guards. Looking forward to watching Lindell and Tyrese trying to one-up each other in assists. This will to be fun to watch.
Shout out to @cyrocksmypants.......you are being discussed in this thread. But in a good way, associated with CSP.
I agree with the assessment. Afterall ISU went with Morris (PG) Naz (combo) and Thomas (SG) on the perimeter last year. In 2 years Harris (PG), Wiggintion (SG) and Haliburton/Lewis (SG/SF) could be the next threesome.
Honestly though I don't know if we should be concerned with time, as much as I like Haliburton's commitment and future as a cyclone, he has some work to refining his game before he contributes major minutes especially with his shooting (which is improving). I looking for him to contribute a lot like Naz or Nick Babb and backup as Fresh/Soph and bigger role as Junior/Senior. There is a reason TH is a high three star and not a 4 at this point. Not a knock just my expectations fully hope he exceeds them.
Harris and Wigginton are much more polished and will be contributing as freshman. Wigginton obviously starting and Harris getting 20 minutes. But before we focused on potential rosters Harris needs to commit and Wigginton could be pro in 3 years opening up opportunities for minutes.
I'd still love to get Harris. We're so used to a PG who can beat his man off the dribble and make the right pass which I think he can absolutely do. We've been so spoiled with Monte for 4 years it's gonna be tough to transition.

Just ask us not to tangent into Fred while you're at it, or talk about the blarge.
I agree about Monte. For 4 years we've been able to take for granted that our point guard did not turn the ball over. If he did I always thought, "That's weird." If it happened twice in a game I wondered if something was wrong.
If he is filling his pants does he need to start wearing a diaper?
To help frame Haliburton's and the coaching staff's comments about him coming in as a PG, it is not a stretch at all. His physical frame and current skill set does seem to be prototypical NBA point guard. Granted he's still not out of high school, so if he does continue to grow (and add weight), he'll be refining his wing/SG game more in the next 4 years while Prohm stocks the roster with some PGs next few recruiting cycles.
In short, let's not be blinded by our 4 years of Monte. I will gladly take another Monte for 4 years, but his size/style isn't the only way.

Love the guys the staff is targeting and landing this year. Very versatile players who can play multiple positions.
I think Harris will actually be better at dribble penetration due to his size and athleticism; not enough footage re: his passing abilities. Of course, it's going to be difficult to beat Monte's ability to protect the ball and manage an offense.
Why are we still giving reasons/opinions that we would like to have both Harris and Halliburton? I think everyone has already stated or established that. Different games, 3star vs. 4 star, etc.
I thought the real question was whether Harris was high on us anymore?
