You are right.
Although his recruitment was a bit strange because most just assumed he would go to UNI. But Virginia was a major player.
AJ Green Leaves the Portal - Staying in Draft
- Thread starter cyfan92
- Start date

Did most assume that because his dad worked there? Or was he not at uni at the time?
He's just not a typical PG. (Or that's what I would call it).
Not a slasher type PG but the ball is going to be in his hands and he's going to be able to create a shot whenever he wants. Sure he could be a combo guard but you are a losing a lot of his value if you do that. IMO
His Dad was a long time coach there. I think it was just assumed by most people that he was going to stay home at play with his Dad. (Not that it was a certainty). I think Virginia tried hard and was the main scare for UNI fans.
Absolutely Green is an outstanding player to potentially get at this point in the game. I would be thrilled if he committed. But it's totally fair to have questions about him. I have questions about his driving and finishing ability in the Big 12. But shooting always transfers and at the very least he's a massive upgrade and the most proven piece on the roster immediately if he commits.
He was bad his freshman year against Iowa and his sophomore year against WVU. Guessing they schemed for him pretty well.
The other games he actually did pretty good in. 26 points against South Carolina and 20 points against Colorado both his sophomore year.
This past year he had 16 against Arkansas but it was inefficient. Again though, he had to do EVERYTHING lol.

If anyone on this board or anywhere else is questioning whether or not AJ Green is a 100% take, they should be ignored.
Austin Reaves is probably a semi-decent AJ comp. Went to Big 12 and was all first team.
I think Reaves is more of a combo guard than AJ. And I think AJ is better but that's me

His talent around him would be a little better at Iowa State don't you think? It's easy for Power 6 teams to key on 1 guy at a mid major if he doesn't have alot of offensive help.
You complain about the competition AJ Green has faced. And try to use that as a justification for him not being a great player. And therefore not take?
I am merely asking you for a realistic list of players in the Portal who you think should be pursued by Iowa State. What do you think of Williams and Ward?
Everyone wants Green. Stormin is so desperate for a fight he's just convincing himself of things that don’t actually exist. Take your meds, dude.
Yeah aj would be the best player we added this off-season by a large margin.
We even saw that firsthand with Brockington late last year. Teams just schemed him mostly out of the offense and forced us to find other options.
We can agree at least that TJ is doing a fantastic job as Cyclone Coach. Thankful TJ is in charge to lead us.
Getting AJ is great.
Do we have more options around him than we had with IB? fingers crossed we add BVP and another shooter/scorer imo. I'm hopeful one of the freshman surprises. King 2nd semester helps.
Who are the players on your Portal List that we have a reasonable shot at getting that would improve our team?
Now your behavior makes total sense. it was never about Green for you. lol.
Do you agree that TJ is doing a fantastic job as Iowa State Basketball Coach? Yes or No.
