2025 Transfer Options

[GTO]

Here's our basketball checklist for needs:

A big guy that's good at banging down low
A combo guard that gets deep penetration down the middle
A wing that can go backdoor
Players that can pound it hard inside
Athletes that can double team
A team with enough stamina to go all night

No "3 and D"?

Maybe you were using hyperbole, but that is factually wrong.

In ALL of D1 hoops, over 350 schools, only 67 players shot over 38%. The reality is over this past season only a handful of Big12 players shot over 35% from 3!

I have no idea if Bashir is a great fit for Iowa State's system. But a 6'7" high volume, high make % player is a unicorn.

Where are you getting 67? From BartTorvik there were 23 players in the Big 12 that shot >38% and 494 in all of D-1.

My ex girlfriend said I pound it hard inside. Sign me up for the team.

It reminds me of 7th grade. It really does.

Agreed. Cyclone Fanatic is the weirdest website ever. I have seen people and myself sought advice anywhere from auto mechanics, food, fitness, golf, home repair, marriage, parenting, investing, mental health, health, legal advice, farming, and sometimes we just act like Beavis and Butthead. Sports is discussed sometime too!

We also currently have a thread that's currently 76 posts deep about Reeses peanut butter cups versus Reeses peanut butter eggs.

CF is like if every character on Cheers was at a party that only served tequila shots

Weird, the NCAA list must have some strict criteria because Momcilovic and Heise both shot over 38% but aren’t on that list.

But will a plane on a treadmill take off?

Good point.

Even if our big guys can't stuff it into the hole, a little tip-in is still pretty good.

I'm way more inappropriate in my 50's than I was in 7th grade.

Enough air speed under the airfoils would do it?

A 1000-foot treadmill on a runway would be a cool test!

You must be new here...welcome.

Fizer as a true freshman averaged almost 15 points and 7 rebounds, in a sloggy Tim Floyd offense. That has to be our #1 performance by a true freshman. Other high-scoring frosh were in up-tempo Johnny Orr offenses.

Fizer was OK

Never said I was an engineer (lucky world out there). Didn't dabble in physics, either. sigh Liberal Arts. Can I have a do-over?

Good chance that Harrington will end up being the best in-state recruit since Harrison Barnes.

That'd be nice. Let's hope he stays in the fold.

Sometimes, expertise comes with age.

I make sure to wear Iowa State apparel to the couple of games a year I see him play, just to ensure he knows there are SOME Cyclone fans on this side of the state.

A true Cyclone.

The NBA did a "draft combine" at the time (not sure if this is still a thing) where they did a 185-lb bench for reps and I recall Durant couldn't do it once.

The worst players ever at the Draft Combine's bench press test

Physical strength is important for the average NBA player, but nowhere near as important as it is for NFL players. As such, at the annual NBA Draft Combine, players are tested for the number of times they can bench 185 pounds (roughly 84…

I'll bet he wound up an NBA nobody.

Milian officially back.

Was this ever really in question? Never remember hearing any rumors of him wanting to leave. Or is this more of a “I got a nice little nil pay raise extension” post? Lol
