Now you’re fishing for TJ compliments? Take this to a different thread man.
AJ Green Leaves the Portal - Staying in Draft
- Thread starter cyfan92
- Start date
I assume we're going to try. Hunter is a significant plan shakeup for mid-April.
BVP would be a great start.
Simple Yes or No question. You just can not give TJ a compliment. Still pissed he is our Coach.
Would be a nice addition and a needed addition. Playing in the best conference and doing well would really help his draft stock.
Insert some blathering without answering or any suggestion on who should or would coach ISU and something hiring process and ISU didn't look like a tourney team.
Virginia is where I predict Hunter will go. No source or info, just my 'throw a dart' prediction.
Does anybody think it just might be possible that AJ wants to explore a university 'outside' of Iowa, or not be under the scrutiny of UNI fans for playing for a somewhat rival and them having to read about it in the daily paper, or having already played w/his Dad previously, he may want to experience another set of coach's philosophy?? I guess I just worry that if he was such a likely commit for us, it would have happened by now. Hope I'm wrong.
You can be very effective at any level if you can do one thing extremely well. I doubt we are recruiting him as a slasher. Admittedly, I have only seen him limited times. My expectations: great spot up 3 point and free throw shooter. Good passer. Decent mid range game. Not sure I expect him to take it to the rack much. No clue on his defense. Maybe our UNI guy can correct my expectation.
CW mentioned on KXNO that it isn’t a foregone conclusion that AJ winds up in Ames, and that he may transfer to a school like Villanova. This was before the weird timing of Jay Wright hanging it up. He later backpedaled and said that his Dad being the assistant would play a big role in his decision. The ONLY way AJ is NOT a Cyclone is if he’s getting information he could get guaranteed money in the NBA. Just my opinion. 0 % chance he goes anywhere else with the college ranks.
Tornadoes have happened in my area in the past. Not for like 10 years and there’s no threat of severe weather today, but I’m gonna get in the basement anyway just in case. Stop overthinking it.
They have a 4 year starter coming back at pg for his 5th year. Doubt he is planning on coming off the bench.
He had trouble against Iowa's defensive scheme? Does Iowa have a defensive scheme? Bad sign.
Sarcasm pirate.
If he transfers here I'll be ecstatic.
He did a great job in year 1 and he's got his work cut out for him right now if we are going to come anywhere close to repeating that kind of success in year 2. Not blaming TJ for the problem because there is only so much he can do but having to turn over a roster every year with only 3 or 4 hold overs from the previous season is not exactly a great way to build a program that can sustain success. Losing Hunter was a big blow because he was supposed to be one of the building blocks to add around and now we have to replace him too. Having 3 or 4 year players that can stagger the classes a bit helps keep a good base to build from but I think the days of having a class where 3 or 4 guys stay and all graduate together is going to be more rare anywhere now with the current transfer portal rules making it too easy to jump to another team without sitting out a year.
It's almost become a culture where you no longer can "build" a program more than it will be how can you "manage" a program when you could have massive roster turnover nearly every year and have a constant rebuild/reload going on.
He will be a Cyclone next season.
Our roster is going to be better next year than it was this year. Even without Hunter.
TJ will not sleep with you. He is happily married.
