what are the rules for recruiting? When a player visits campus, can he work out for the coaches? I mean, can you really see if a guy is cut out for playing Otz's defense just by watching film? The recruit will be told what he's getting into, as in our identity, but would think it would be hard to know if they can really 'cut it' until they live it. Grill may not be as talented as some, but I think he works hard on defense and is good at it.
2022 Recruiting/Transfer Class
- Thread starter LanningIsBakersDaddy
- Start date
I don't know, but the staff figured it out last year. Every player they brought in does what is asked of them defensively.
I may be remembering wrong, but I'm pretty sure we've had recruits scrimmage with our guys on visits. There's always going to be a bit of unknown, because a guy trying to make an impression can certainly amp up his effort level for that, but from our initial recruiting, I think our staff is after guys who are high energy/high effort guys, and the film will show that.
Good quick listen from our 247 guy. I think Nick’s done a good job jumping in this season. He’s hearing Jazz is likely back maybe Gabe too and Brockington is 50/50.
How does that work scholarship wise? If all three return, we add the 3 freshmen and King (transfer). Do we have enough scholarships? or does that mean guys at the back of the rotation likely leave?
Could be wrong, but pretty sure that the guys returning this current year that otherwise couldn't have didn't count against the scholarship limit, but next year's would. Someone can correct me if that isn't the case.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Jackson, Walker and Enaruna all leave.

I have it from two credible sources that green intends to transfer to ISU. Based upon who these people are, I would say it’s very likely to happen. Never say 100%.
Same rumor was floating around last offseason. I’ll believe it when I see it.
How do you retain Hunter, Kalschuer, and Brockington and add Green and keep all 4 happy? One has to (probably) hit the pine if you’re starting Tre King as well.
Don't worry about it. Ideally, returning starters are having to work to keep their playing time. Tre King will play the 4.
Yep. We've been going 9 deep this year pretty consistently. He might take 2 minutes off of some other starters, but most of the minutes would be coming from 8/9
I wonder if that's what the staff sees here too. Given how even the lowest hype transfer this year worked out for us(Jones) I feel like they've earned a bit of trust on it right now
Gabe goes to the bench no question. If he's on then he'll be on the court more but if he's off then you don't have to rely on him as much as we did this year. Easy call for me.
Sit King, go small. If you can get a legit 5 in the portal, you start him with the other 4 and platoon with whatever bigs return. Grill, King and one of the frosh are your reserves at the 2-4. Green and Gabe can spell Hunter at the point.
I feel like Hunter, Gabe and IB are locks to be starters. Green is great and I'd love to have him but I don't think he bumps either of those 3. If anything, he accepts a smaller/more specialized role to come join a team that just went to the Sweet 16 and reunite with his dad. I think him being promised any kind of starting role would mean TJ is looking to go small.
If Green transfers to Iowa State, he won’t be coming off the bench
Green would for sure start over Gabe. He's the back-to-back MVC player of the year. He would instantly be our best shooter by a landslide.
Every time that I throw **** against the wall it never sticks. I should probably eat more gummy bears.
