AJ Green Leaves the Portal - Staying in Draft

[JP4CY]

Makes it even worse that he chose a pro career when he's not a pro level player. Except in Europe.

No one knows this today.

 

[clonedude]

Stop being a dip schat.

Do you think AJ's a NBA player?

 

[Trice]

You are forgetting Harrison Barnes. The number of Iowa state fans in the gym the day he announced was plentiful

That setup was positively brutal.

 

[bostrem00]

He was leading the huddle in every time out for at least half the length of the timeout. Our success last year was almost as much on him as it was on TJ.

I forgot, one year does a career make. The goldfish like memories around here do be astounding.

 

[isucy86]

That's why Otz made sure he got his extension signed before this..... smart.

Maybe AJ's dad got a raise along with TJ. So the family no longer needs AJ's NIL money to get by.

Pollard should have played hard ball- waited on giving AJ's dad's raise until after AJ announces he's coming to Ames!! Or at least he should have waited until tomorrow.

He was really good at UNI.

If we go by your thinking, then there's no way we should have given TJ a raise this year.

The kid went through the process and got enough information he felt comfortable taking a chance. Good for him and I hope he does well.

Looking forward, my goodness will we be a brutal offensive team.

So was McDermott.

I thought he deserved a raise but not an extension for another year.

This really sucks. We still don’t have a proven scorer for next season.

I was a student at AHS when that happened. It was always UNC

Another fart in the wind

I don't know but I am not going to lose my schit over his decision. You are a drama queen.

Gonna need someone to really step up like Brockington did in addition to improvement on the little things across the board on offense to avoid the historic lows we saw last year.

I have some hope that Holmes can be a good piece offensively, but not getting a big who can stretch the floor and going all-in on Green as really the only P6 leading scorer type they pursued could be rough at times. Maybe TJ pulls a rabbit out of his hat I suppose.

Harrison did a fantastic job of leading everyone on to think it was Iowa State. Wearing Cyclone gear, using the practice facility even having his own keypad to get into it. I didn’t have that big of a problem with him going to UNC. It’s how he did it

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

I don't know but I am not going to lose my schit over his decision. You are a drama queen.

I don’t think anyone is losing their ****… but this one stings a bit. All the stars lined up for him to be a Cyclone and to be honest he really could have propelled this team into a solid threat. Especially offensively.

 

[NWICY]

Just watch Green announce he’s staying in the draft.

Nostradamus

 

[carvers4math]

Oops. He must have read on CF that if you don’t go pro by 22 they think you are too old. I will hold out hope for the freshmen.

 

[CyCrazy]

Oh really? Well I understand why you can't see over reactions.

 

[CySmurf]

It was only a matter of time before it descended to Gabe-bashing.

I'll start...
...I hope he's working on his layups as much as his outside shooting. He struggled with both. ;-)

 

[isucy86]

I agree. We don't have a proven scorer. We have 8 proven scorers:

1. Williams
2. Holmes
3. Kalscheur
4. Grill
5. Kunc
6. King
7. Osunniyi
8. Ward

Do we have at 15ppg scorer? Probably not, but we have 8 guys who will likely score between 8 to 13 ppg. I see a group of guys who are going to average 75+ ppg next year. We'll be better on the boards, have athletic post players and will play faster.
