They're 0-12 in conference. I always love legacy players, but I haven't seen that kind of thing out of him with the consistency needed on a top ten team.
We let our bigs develop elsewhere, pick them up in the portal for their last couple years.
Not disagreeing with you, but he currently has 17 and 7 against Dickinson in AFH which is significantly better than we were able to muster with our bigs.
We weren’t really in the market for that kind of player. No need to go after someone like that as things stand. Even if he was recruited and signed, he would be absolutely buried on the bench.
He had 19 points and 9 rebounds against Kansas. His game reminds me of his dad and Momcilovic.
He’s also went 0fer against Kansas in 12 minutes their first go around against KU. I obviously have no clue how he will turn out, but I’d wager to guess him and Nojus have similar play styles (wing who can shoot) and Nojus was a much better HS prospect. There is no doubt he would be sitting on the bench getting 0 playing time if he were here.
Legacies are fun and all, but not at the expense of a better team.
You don’t overpay for an underclassman like this. If he proves it next year, great.
Nojus is a pure 2, Rancik is a stretch 4. Comp is Milan but looks like a way better rebounder. If Rancik ever went into the portal I’d hope we’d give him a good look.
You are basing that comp off of one good game? Good grief. He’s averaging 5 points and 2 rebounds a game on a terrible team. Milan started played 30mpg and and averaged 10 and 5 on a Sweet 16 team as a freshman. They might have a similar style, but he’s must be the poor, poor man’s Milan if he is the comp there.
He is getting better. He started this season on the bench but made into the starting lineup few games ago.
I get that, but Colorado isn’t on the same level as ISU. They may be in the same conference, but I don’t know if there is one player on that team that would get playing time for Iowa State this year. Maybe Hammond would. That’s it.
So I would hope if Rancik is any good at all he could break through there, but IMO he’s still 2 years away from being someone who could make an impact for Iowa State.
I agree with you there, but only for the reason that he wouldn’t play much because we mostly recruit over our HS players with better transfers. Honestly, no underclassman not named Milan, Tamin or Tyrese has sniffed any significant playing time in the TJ era. Do you see Nojus playing much next year? Not without a big offseason and some poor transfer recruiting at the SG position. He can’t defend and hasn’t been the shooter that was advertised, albeit in a small sample size.
If his last name was different, would we care about him?
(not a rhetorical question)

Was it only against Dickinson and was Kansas coming off of a weird loss in 'fix it' mode like the ISU game two weeks ago?
There's a lot of variables at play vs. seeing a 0-12 CU team.
Good stats last night but on the year he's averaging 5.7/2.5/0.5 on 44.8/33.3/65.3% shooting, in 15.7 minutes per game from the forward position. Pretty good numbers for a true freshman these days actually, but I think the jury is still out.
I think it's hard to infer much with confidence when playing on such a bad team.

Probably depends on whether Heise is back or not. But even if he is, there should be more minutes for Nojus with Gilbert and Jones departing. That almost 70 minutes a game opening up.
