    Joshua Jefferson has committed to Iowa State

    It will be interesting to see how TJ creates a lineup/rotation. I personally think this years model is what he will do. Who exactly starts might be somewhat immaterial. I see the starters as Lipsey, Gilbert, MM, Jefferson and Jackson. Jones with the same role as this year. Matchups and game...

    2024-25 Roster/Rotation Additions

    Fair criticism. I should have said I only have limited observations. From what I have seen, I am not sure she is a ball handler. Hopefully she is the next Tyrese Haliburton.

    2024-25 Roster/Rotation Additions

    I should not have an opinion since I have not seen Tanke play. I do think whoever plays the “2” needs to be a capable ball handler. The burden cannot be shared by Ryan alone. Not convinced Tanke is that person. I think she will get minutes - just not sure she will as a secondary ball handler.

    He would have played Tre Kings role as a 4.

    Maybe - but I doubt we could afford both. No inside knowledge though.

    I posted the rebounding numbers. King was our top guy in rebounds, and if you look at rebounds per minute played he was by far our most productive guy. We need rebounders!

    2024-25 Roster/Rotation Additions

    Speaking of Diew/ can somebody explain her going to Colorado? Happy for her - but seems odd. Colorado has been good for a long time. What do they see in her that we were unable to unlock this year? She did not have a great season for us.

    Totally agree with one exception. I think our dept at center is good / or at least acceptable. Practice wise Rock is a sophomore, and Chatfield is old with lots of experience. Between them I think they will get the job done.

    I think we are going to be very good. Frankly, I am hoping final 4 good. I do not think that is impossible. I think either Kyle or Jefferson get us there. More positional size, great guard court, even better Milan. The portal bigs must come through with interior defense, rim protection...

    We can agree to disagree. I love Milan. Right now he is not a 4. I also think we will get a guy, who, in my opinion will start allowing MM to play his more natural position as a 3. I see Jones in the same role as this year / with situational small ball starts. Milan needs strength and must work...

    Appears TCU has something going.

    I think that may be possible, but that lineup has some defensive and rebounding problems. I think that might be a situational lineup. We need a 4 yet. If we do not get one, Chatfield at the 4 might be a strong possibility. Lipsey Gilbert Milan Chatfield Jackson Jones same role as today.

    Disagree. But, we do have to spend most of our dollars to retain guys, so we are forced to be bargain shoppers. The high dollar guys are not in play for us. TJ has proven his ability to identify somewhat under the radar talent. If, big if, we land one of our remaining “4” targets you may change...

    Jack Gohlke - Random

    Yes - we recruited him, but I think that ended when we signed Nojus

    Just opinion From what I observed I do not think he is ready to play at a high level. He should transfer down, get playing time and demonstrate his game. If it goes well, transfer back up.

    Yes - it all really sucks. Every level will become a feeder system to the next level up. ISU will have more trouble attracting and retaining talent once the B10 and SEC get their big TV money. They have ruined college sports imho. This is why WEWILL is so critical. Brent Blum is doing a...

    You don't realize how many pros ISU has

    Thanks for posting - I love knowing what some of OUR former guys are doing. I certainly do not understand the criticism being displayed in this thread. Guys on this list are all playing high level basketball - some higher than others. They are getting paid to do what they love. Some are no doubt...

    Was Prohm the best recruiter ISU ever had?

    J'Vonne Hadley (Curtis Jones' cousin) to have zoom meetings with Iowa State & MSU this week

    I do not like the current state of affairs - few people do. You will get what you want in a couple years. Athletes will become employees. What goes with that I do not know. Disparity will still exist. The B10 and SEC will pay more. They need to go their separate way.
