Right!? Rocket, Jet, and Speedy... you better be a pro athlete with those types of nicknames haha
THT was ISU's first one and done recruit at ISU, which will open doors for Prohm and the staff for future recruits. If only for that reason I consider him a program changer not to mention Prohm empowered him to play his game and was a key player for a team that won the Big 12 tourney and a six seed.
I don't get the shade thrown at THT, he had uneven results but was only 18. To expected him to be consistent and be an immediate leader of the team some fans had was over ambitious and shouldn't be held against him. Anyone disappointed in the season is probably only looking at his last 10 games. He was also diagnosed with his stress fracture in his foot at the combine likely saw affecting him to end the year. I am glad THT chose to play at ISU and enjoyed watching him play in Hilton and won't let one game take away what he did last year..
It’s not shade to think THT wasn’t a program changer.
You’re as generous with your OAD label as you are with your program changer designation.
I mean he played one year of college and then left for the draft and got drafted. I don't know how that isn't by definition a one and done.
Tht was a program changer. Elevated our profile for that level player.
If you’re a top 40 recruit, our fan base is unfairly harsh on you. If THT had the season he did while being an unranked 3-Star, everybody on here would love him. Wigginton faced the same issue. I’m sure Craig Brackins did too.
Let me ask you this how many years was THT in Ames before he got drafted?
By definition, not by convention.
Something that doesn't get talked about enough was THT was asked to do quite a bit for a freshman. He played out of position, almost always guarded a bigger player and was leaned on too much to score at times, mostly just on ISO plays where he was just asked to go make a play. I get frustration that we never got to see him reach his potential as a college bball player but he had a good year and there is value to a OAD in future recruiting.
He was dealing with a stress fracture, or other foot related injury in camp. I haven't seen that he's back from that.
Seems they may hold him out for the preseason

Eh, I disagree. My dad couldn't tell you where to find recruiting rankings let alone tell you THT was a pretty highly ranked recruit. His constant grumbling had nothing to do with THT's ranking and everything to do with clanking step back 25 footers with 15 seconds on the shotclock on a team with so many weapons. There's nothing unfairly harsh about not wanting that shot.
That is what parents are supposed to do. But you didn't go to bootcamp once he enlisted. Parents coming to visit the program before they sign and come to games is great, parents coming to practice and trying to lobby for playing time, not so much.
Fair enough but he made those shots as well. Every player is going to take some bad shots. I wouldn’t say I loved his step back or 1 leg fadeaway but I want a player who is confident enough to take shots and when THT had it going, he was unstoppable. Iowa State was at it’s best last year when THT, Wigginton, Lard and Shayok played well.
A co-worker/U-M fan believes U-M probably won't heavily pursue Terry for that reason.
@ Ole Miss, @ Kansas State, @ Oklahoma, vs OU, Baylor in Big 12 Tournament, KU in Big 12 tournament.
Those were some of the biggest wins last year and in most of these games, THT and Wigginton carried us.
