I can't speak for the renowned CyTwins, but I am the original poster that stated I have B Tier sources telling me it was between Louisville and Iowa State last week. Those same sources thought he would have committed by now, so take it with a grain of salt.
New transfer target ...
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
Carton may very well represent the last stand for Prohm. Landing an Iowa kid of that caliber to go along with Foster completely changes the narrative.
Common sense. Unless Pollard has given up on ISU basketball. And if that’s the case he would need to be shown the door as well.
We would also need to know that talent would actually be coming back the next year. That’s a huge part of why we are in this mess.
It’s been reported, and rumored.
And it just makes a lot of sense! He’s a local point guard recruit looking for a new home. Prohm has a great record with point guards, and we’ll have a roster that will make a pg very successful.
I don't think Lard so much "left" but your point still stands.
From what I was told, Lard's departure was mutual between him and Prohm. Either way, he was incredibly difficult to deal with and him not being able to figure it out hurt us this year. I do not think that he was the magic pill that would've fixed last season but he was a sure talent and was a tremendous spark plug.
Don't think it has much effect especially if Carton is planning on sitting out
I'd agree. Scrubb testing the NBA waters and was the expectation before he chose Louisville. Some programs didn't quit recruiting him due to it. Everyone thought it would be a 1 n done regardless. Their coaches knew for a while and a reason they took one of the top grad transfer guards just prior to Scrubb making it official. I don't think it'll affect Carton's decision either way, I am sure he was well aware of the roster before too.
Lard hit some incredible highs his freshman season, but mostly had trouble staying on the court considering the rate at which he was fouling.
His sophomore year was mostly just the fouling.
I would have much rather have had a healthy Solomon that year than the distraction that Lard provided, but I guess it is nice we have Solo next year.
Lard was so frustrating because you could see how talented he was. If he put in the work like a guy like Ejim did, he would have been all-conference and a potential NBA player.
Yep, the guy averaged something like 13/9 in the B12 as a freshman; that just screams potential.
Yeah, the guy oozed talent.
He had most of his best games against our best foes, too --
21 / 16 against Texas? -- in 20 minutes!?!
19 / 17 against Oklahoma? -- the Trae Young Oklahoma?
19 / 11 against Kansas? -- heck it was Kansas?
If the guy could have averaged 80% of that consistently, wow.
