Downey is nasty. Really fun to watch.
I hope he has taken care of his past issues and I means what he said in the article with Hamilton. I thought it was a good thing he addressed it.
Gives us a pretty salty lineup next year. I think we have a a very good chance for AA's at 133,149,165,174 & 184.

Not gonna bump any of the old threads. But once again this last season we had a couple posters telling us how the team was totally falling apart and there was going to be lots of transfers. Just like the same posters predict every season. Obviously we won't know until the fall if anyone does leave the team or transfer. But once again, so far, the badmouthing and "insider info" isn't reflected in reality. Minus injuries our expected lineup for next year, including key backups and excepting transfers or out of nowhere guys like Dante, is what you would have expected it to be a year ago.
You would have to think that by now we would have heard if anyone of significance was leaving. Not that things don't happen later but at this point I'm counting on everyone to be on board. Downey is a VERY interesting addition. Not as accomplished in folk as he is free but helps fill a void and improve the talent in the room, regardless. He's held it together so far since Nebraska. Hope he keeps it up!
Is anyone else really excited about that lineup? It will be very interesting to watch a lot of these guys. Downey should be tough. Hopefully Meeks can put it together. Dante is always fun to watch. Harrington and RRS look the part. Spoon and goose moving down a weight class can only help I would think and looking for hall to dominate again. This could be a very fun season.
I think this could be a year when ISU puts itself back in the top 8, and potentially higher. I could see a few young guys really surprising folks. I could also see Weatherspoon exceeding expectations. I don't know much about Downey, but when was the last time we filled a hole at the last minute with someone of significant potential? The ability to do this is in itself a good omen. Any word on Moreno or Smith and their recoveries?
Bring the funk, got a great feeling about this kid and what his addition to the team will mean.
It would be pleasantly surprising but we really do not have much for NCAA points returning. You have to figure the following teams will finish ahead of us with relative ease: Ohio State, Penn State, Okie State, Iowa, Missouri, Cornell, Va Tech. Illinois and Michigan also bring back a lot and I suspect Minnesota will be a little better than many are thinking. Going to be a serious uphill road. Not impossible but still tough.
Should improve again as a dual team. That's where our progress has been.
