Tristan Enaruna Commits

[CyLyte2]

It's TJ's team on day one. Over half the team he just recruited or re-recruited. He also had a hand in building that program that put about 11 guys in the NBA recently.

Nope, this is Prohm’s team until TJ turns it around.

I agree but then you're also going to have to stop the other side from saying, "Prohm would've never gotten this recruit or Prohm couldn't do that."

Goes both ways unfortunately.

Simple solution? Both sides stop bringing up Prohm, and let him rest in the dustbin of history where he belongs.

It’s time to move on.

Nope. It became TJ's team as soon as he finished the house cleaning.

Plus he gets his transfers immediately eligible. Its a new world in college basketball, you can now assemble teams in the off season with free agency. This is TJ’s team plus a couple very solid Prohm recruits.

This is a point that should not go overlooked and a good one. TJ has a big, big body of work of "see what I have put in the nba?"

Iowa state had three players in ONE GAME last weekend! THT, Matt Thomas, and Niang in the Lakers v. Jazz game. That is wild man, there's only a little more than 300 of those jobs on the planet.

TJ has hit it out of the park so far. A lot of the questions people (including myself) had had less to do with recruiting and more to do with competing with other B12 coaches on game day.

I will say he's surpassed even my wildest hopes to this point, and everything he and his staff have said have made me feel much more comfortable with the hire.

Yup I think we all agree that recruiting was never an issue. Just need to see the fruits of the labor!

He's shown more at the P6 level than Enaruna has.

I could see Kunc starting. If he rebounds and shoots the 3, he seems to fit. Maybe Enaruna's talent wins out as the season goes along, but Kunc seems ready to play.

 

[CyLyte2]

Nope, Prohm obviously left TJ all kinds of roster problems and it will take an indefinite number of years to get that all straightened out.

Hopefully for TJ, he doesn’t peak in year 1, like Prohm did.

No kidding.

Don't forget about Hinson. He started all but 2 games in his 1st two seasons at Ole Miss and averaged in double figures. I'm interested to see how these guys stack up against each other come November.

Currently 5 players for the 2 traditional 3/4 positions, Hinson, Kunc, Enaruna, Johnson, Foster (4 and 5 time). I think the 1st 3 get most of the minutes, Johnson some at 3, Foster some at 4.

Personally I think if we get Fletcher or another quality forward Johnson enters the portal and Some of Kunc's minutes come at the 5.

Not much risk in that.
TJ making great moves, but still a motley crew.

Interesting the discussion on who should start over who when less than a couple weeks ago the talk was not having anybody on the roster to start.

It's nice to see the TJ hates figured out it was time to STFU.

We are getting some athletic dudes!

He was playing in the video that ISU Basketball recently put out on twitter.

I think he may have been practicing at the end of last season as well?

Yes, and his favorite number is... "3" !!!

 

[t-noah]

I hope he's good. Could be he was just a bust coming out of HS. It's not like KU has never struck out on HS talent in the past. Hopefully he can maximize his potential in Ames, a solid get for TJ and staff. What is the general consensus regarding him? Day 1 starter?

Good vid/podcast on him here, by 247sports.

I think someone said free to view/unlocked for today only, otherwise subscription. I thought it was very inciteful and good analysis on Enaruna!
