    2022 Recruiting/Transfer Class

    This entire post is based on if AJ Green commits to ISU. If he doesn't, obviously that drastically changes the outlook for next season. Just wanted to acknowledge that up front. Primary Ballhandlers: Green / Williams Guards: Holmes / Kalscheur / Grill (one of Green/Williams when both are on...

    2022 Recruiting/Transfer Class

    He could commit and still explore the NBA process. That’s what the Texas Tech big man transfer Aimaq said he was going to do to still get the feedback after announcing his decision today.

    Tyrese Hunter Entering the Transfer Portal - NIL Speculation

    I will never understand how anyone could conceive it's "selfish" for him to want to get paid for his services/skillset. College basketball is a business; it always has been except now it's legal. This is a complete hypothetical as we don't know the exact NIL opportunities at ISU/Kansas for...

    Tyrese Hunter Entering the Transfer Portal - NIL Speculation

    There's been a fair number of bad threads on this site but not sure there's ever been one where ISU fans have come off more embarrassing and petulant than this one. He's a 19-year old kid who we all know had a very heartbreaking upbringing who is now attempting to profit off of his own skills...

    AJ Green Leaves the Portal - Staying in Draft

    The way people tell on themselves sometimes as far as "I don't know anything about basketball" is wild.

    AJ Green Leaves the Portal - Staying in Draft

    My own personal opinion and I could be way off-base, but I've always felt Bain is almost guessing a lot of the time with his recruiting reporting. He seems late on everything.

    AJ Green Leaves the Portal - Staying in Draft

    If we get Green and Vander Plas, it would definitely take the sting off of surprisingly losing Hunter. This is only 11 scholarship players too; there would still be 1-2 more spots to fill, whether that's Gabe returning for a 5th year or adding Basile, Abogidi from Wazzu, Souley Boum from UTEP...

    Tyrese Hunter Entering the Transfer Portal - NIL Speculation

    Look, it absolutely sucks if Hunter leaves, but the amount of “woe is me” in this thread for when one of our guys surprisingly transfers out when this forum has an entire transfer thread of people wanting to poach the top guys from mid-major schools is as ironic as irony can get. You can’t use...

    Enaruna makes it official, hits the portal

    A bit disingenuous. He only started the Miami game because of a clerical error. And this wasn't publicly revealed, but I think he only started vs. LSU to match up Kunc with Eason (LSU's best player who happened to come off the bench) and to mess with a coaching staff that was already in...

    REPORT: Iowa State in contact with Morehead State transfer, No. 7 nationally in assists

    I think most fans are overestimating the impact Lipsey, Eli King, and Watson will have. Only 3 true freshmen in the Big 12 got consistent playing time last season (Hunter, Kendall Brown, Sochan). Those last two guys are NBA 1st rounders if they both declare. The league has become a...

    REPORT: Iowa State in contact with Oregon transfer Eric Williams

    There’s rarely any point in ever looking at FG% as a statistic anymore. It’s archaic when it comes to properly accounting for increase in 3-pointers taken in current game, especially among perimeter players. Look at eFG% which correctly takes into account value of the 3. Williams jumps to 45%...

    Who's headed to the United Center?

    Anyone already going and have booked hotels but not bought tickets yet? Our plan was to keep waiting to see if the prices to drop, but they're still pretty steady. Thinking about biting the bullet and buying some tomorrow afternoon. Leaving Friday morning without tickets could be stressful.

    *** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

    Feel pretty confident we will be the 7 or 10 in this bottom-right Midwest region. I'd guess 10? Kansas will be the 1, Kentucky or Auburn will be the 2. 3 will be Purdue. UCLA the 4, Iowa the 5. Calling my shot.

    *** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

    No TCU or Iowa State in Gonzaga's pod means either Baylor isn't a 1 or TCU/ISU are either a 7 or 10. Both can't be 8/9 if Baylor and Kansas are 1's now.

    Latest Bracketology

    Just finished my final Selection Sunday bracketology projection. I have ISU as a 9 playing North Carolina in Gonzaga's pod in Portland. Went back and forth on Rutgers vs. Oklahoma as my final team in for a good half hour. No idea how the committee will or can decide between those two and...

    Otzelberger comes to defense of players after blowout Big 12 Tournament loss to Texas Tech

    Literally took me two seconds to google "TJ Otzelberger Tristan Enaruna" and this is the first link result. Someone in the media asked him a month ago, he gave an answer (defense, rim protection, rebounding, energy), and yet people still continue to act as if it's this grand mystery. Same with...

    Otzelberger comes to defense of players after blowout Big 12 Tournament loss to Texas Tech

    Reading through this thread and the Tech gameday thread, if anyone is seriously giving TJ a negative evaluation right now, 32 games into his coaching tenure, you can 100% ignore their opinion in any way, shape, or form. They are clueless. Hate to simplify things that much, but that's the...

    ***Official 2022 Transfer Thread***

    What's the Tom Hardy line from Inception? "You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger darling." Not to insult these smaller conference players, but I think TJ and staff will be going big-game hunting this offseason to try to find some big time scorers and a more versatile 5-man.

    Higgins calls Big 12 most difficult league in the country to officiate

    This. No one commands the court better without taking over the game. Unlike Sirmons. Screw that guy.

    Latest Bracketology

    That is possible, but it is an absolute last resort if there are no other alternatives. An example, maybe a week or so ago, my 10-seeds were Miami, North Carolina, Wake Forest, and Notre Dame, and I had Duke as a 2-seed. In that scenario, one of those teams would be dropped to an 11 and an 11...
