Backcourt and the future

I just want to ask where all the negative nancys on Prohm are? Saying that he's a terrible coach and all. This is an extremely young and inexperienced team so it'll take time to build that team chemistry. But, to say that Prohm was a terrible coach was pure lunacy. By no means am I predicting NCAA tourney, but give this group some time to learn and grow. They should definitely compete and NIT shouldn't be out of question. Yeah, it looked bleak the first two games, but can we PLEASE stop with the Prohm can't coach. He's young and still learning. The fact he said he could now return to Ames shows he at least has a sense of humor with all the hateful comments I saw on twitter after those first two games.
I think it'll be fun to watch this team grow and see how he coaches them to March.

Agreed. I was just happy to see them bounce back over the weekend and show a lot of improvement. That's enough for now. Excited to see what they could be by late February, but there are still plenty of questions to be answered before then.
Agreed...just seems some are already writing this team off since it's likely not a tourney team...or is it?
Can you link a post to someone that said he was a terrible coach? You’ll always be able to find such things on Twitter about almost any coach. If you need universal praise on Twitter, or any other such medium for affirmation, you’re always going to be disappointed.
Beverly averages an assist every 51 minutes and Solo is every 67 minutes is what I took away from that. Giving Percy Gibson a run for his money.

Still better than Kobe Bryant.
I also called 7 or 8 wins for the football team. I might be wrong but I'll take a 9 win season.
Hopefully Haliburton is watching what NWB is doing at the PG position. That's the kind of PG I hope we're getting with Tyrese
Our defense will get better this year the more we play Lard. You can take that to the bank.
Percy always wanted it in isolation though. Solo usually takes what's there.Beverly averages an assist every 51 minutes and Solo is every 67 minutes is what I took away from that. Giving Percy Gibson a run for his money.
Clearly he's joking. NWB had a great tournament, but he's got a long ways to go before I'd say he's near the level MM was.
In the tournament we only averaged 10 TOs a game. If we could do that the rest of the season it would be outstanding. Offensively it seems ISU gets out of it's rhythm in the half court. They settle for a one-on-one fade away. I think as the season progresses we'll see that less often and a more consistent offense.
Can't tell if you're baiting CFers or serious here. Just too soon to tell until the competition ramps up and of course avoiding injuries/suspensions. Will be interesting at what thoughts will be posted come Jan/Feb. All of us are encouraged by last three games, but to make the tourney, you're talking going at least 9-9 in the big12. Looking at the other 11 teams, that will be pretty challenging for this roster to do. CSP is big12 coach of the year if he gets it done, imo, AND we know they'll be trying their damnest to do it. Lard, Wigginton, Talley, Long, and even Solomon still look like young pups out there sometimes, tho.
Baylor with an 18 point lead on Wisc last night and Texas Tech with a throttling of a rated Northwestern bodes well for Big12 . Not to mention Kansas, West Virginia, TCU, OU, Texas, etc. Man, its going to be super tough every night out in the big12. Any predictions on how many losses the Big12 champ will have this year? KU supposedly getting more studs at semester time so that could help them, too.
I think people are getting way ahead of themselves on this. This is the kind of talk that when the kid doesn't live up to the crazy talk.....he is a disappointment. When actually it was just nonsense to begin with.
