Santa Clara graduate transfer Tahj Eaddy ISU in Top 5.

[Statefan10]

I don't love Tahj Eaddy's advanced stats nor small frame.

McGowens is a different story. He hasn't put it completely together offensively yet but he already was one of the best defenders in the ACC. You're out of your mind if you wouldn't take McGowens with 4 spots to fill.

"But he can't shoot" lol.

The dude can play defense, he can score at the rim, and he is long and athletic. All of those things that we desperately need. We didn't suck last year because we couldn't shoot the 3. We sucked last year because we had a ton of guys who were constantly outmatched on the defensive side of the ball. Shooting the 3 would've helped us keep games closer, but we would've still lost and gave up a ton of points.

I mean, I’m not saying he’s terrible, but bringing in Prentiss Nixon 2.0 to play as our Sg next year isn’t helping us. Other teams have players to compliment him more than likely. We need shooters in the worst way since Prohm teams can’t really do anything else well.

Nixon was at the time a pretty big get. CW touted him as our likely primary scorer.

Man, when the "Every recruit is good because the coach offered them and only that reason alone" crowd doesn't even bother to show up for a thread on a player that's mostly getting bashed you know something's up

 

[clonedude]

Born >>> Eaddy....... just sayin'.

 

[Clyde4cy]

Nixon was uniquely bad on offense. Even Prohm will find it difficult to find a player that bad again.

Many of you can sleep easier tonight, Tahj won't be playing for ISU next year.

@jakeweingarten Source: Santa Clara graduate transfer Tahj Eaddy has committed to USC. Andy Enfield with a major guard pickup for the Trojans. Immediately eligible.

I'm scared to see the backup plan though.

Guess what? It’s you.

"major guard pickup" ?????? I must be missing something here

 

[CyTwins]

Heard we didn't make him a priority

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Clonefan32]

Of the people we are in on this one doesn't hurt too bad. I just hope it isn't foreshadowing for a bunch of swing-and-misses on transfers.

 

[ForeverIowan]

A lot want him cause he was a 4 star guy out of high school. He hasn’t panned out as well in college.

Geez dude you are absolutely CLUELESS!

 

[SpokaneCY]

Jacobson was recruited over at Nebby for 2 years, he finally saw the writing on the wall and left. He wasn't even the Prohm's first choice for players from Nebraska that year.

Yet he had a significant role and great production in the right setting with us 2018/2019.

So parts of the same crowd will now say CSP can't recruit!!!!

Interesting that ISU made Eaddy top 5 as a back up option in that case. Makes me believe the staff must feel confident about some other options from the portal.

 

[intrepid27]

because Prohm is incredibly desperate. We’re also targeting a Pitt shooting guard who shoots 31% from 3. Prohm doesn’t seem to realize he can’t win without guys who can shoot from outside.

Or, maybe if wasn't our offense that killed us last year. Maybe it was being the worst team in the conference in defense.

He was a backup plan.

I don't buy the "not a priority" argument. We have 4 scholarships to fill, with at least 3 of those needing to go to immediately available guys. I frankly think we'd be lucky to get one out of Perry, Aiken and Barry, and maybe one JuCo. I think we'd absolutely take a guy like Eaddy.

We'll be able to get a guy like Eaddy several weeks from now, if necessary. Why should we settle so early in the process? I'm not predicting we'll get four better transfers than Eaddy. But taking him now would signal a very pessimistic outlook from our coaching staff.
