  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

I think ISU gets Nadolny. Don’t know why. Just a feeling


The possitive are Huggins can’t be around for to much longer. His health looks horrible. Tech coach might get offered a blue blood like if Roy retires next year. Prohm is getting a better job right now. Maybe in 3 years but right now he has not done enough. So I think we offer the most stability of the three. Sometimes that don’t matter though

With ISU losing Babb, Shayok, Wiggs, THT, and Lard... we have to hit a couple home runs in recruiting this offseason or the next year or two could be ugly while we rebuild once again.

You can't lose that kind of talent and scoring off your squad and replace it with Javan Johnson level talent and hope to have a decent season next year. And that's not a shot at Javan Johnson, he's obviously talented, but he's more of a depth guy IMO than a starter. If we landed Nadolny and Grill, and then also added Javan to that, then that would be great IMO.

My point is that we need to land a couple possible starters for next year if we don't want to take several steps back.

Need one solid starting level scoring guard, and one rotational guard, and a sit out.

I do not see how anybody could disagree with this post. We need to score big in recruiting to avoid an 8-10 finish.

We always need recruit good players to keep winning. That's always true, but the other source of good players is the kids on the bench or in the shadows last year. Zion Griffin, Haliburton, Jacobson, Condit, ... All could make a leap into the light. We need recruits, but there is also development.
