This. We need sharpshooters that can be a threat at every position.

I love me some sharpshooters, but after these last two years, I just want to see some fundamentally sound play. Ideally, we're a run n gun type team as those are my favorite teams to watch. But I don't know if I can do another year of watching sub 6' guards yacking 3's all game long.This. We need sharpshooters that can be a threat at every position.

That sounds interesting.

Hilton gets super loud for two things:
1. Bad officiating
2. Made threes
I'm all for that. Seems like just about every team besides us has a couple of players that on a given night have the capability to go 6 of 9 from 3. Not consistently of course, but at least now and then they are capable of 'lighting it up'. Miss that.
Then again, wouldn't it be cool to be a top rebounding team? One can dream I guess

Every style has a price. Would people be happy with a team that’s the third best rebounding team in the conference but 8, 9, or 10 in 3p and offense? I don’t know. I grew up in the Johnny era. I like offensively skilled basketball and I think that is what ISU basketball should be. That’s how you get Hilton back, not grind out 25 seconds of shot clock on both ends of the floor.
have they officially fired him?
since TJ is so desirable, we might want to hurry up before they snatch him
in all seriousness, if Craig Smith was in play, he’s probably not now.
4. 22-0 run against OU to turn a 20 point deficit into a lead.3. Dunks.
i feel like other than Floyd Iowa State has essentially just settled for a basketball coach. I don’t think Eustacy was a hot up and comer (though he brought 1.7 years of pretty good success). Wayne Morgan seems like our pinnacle of settling. Maybe McD was a reach but a minuscule one. Fred was kind of settling but a pretty big chance at the same time. TJ would have been a settle but then we reverse lindied into settling for Prohm.
I guess Iowa State is just not a program that is all that attractive other than a stepping stone. Is it impossible to recruit here? Too tough a conference to coach in? Not enough $ or fan support? Too high of fan expectations? Poor facilities? Not a close enough airport? What?
They can play UVA grindball all night if they want as long as they win.
But that isn’t what it would be because of the level of players that we would have compared to UVA.

Yeah I guess if we're winning I really couldn't care. And I do agree with you about Tyler Harris. He's fun to watch but should be playing Donovan Jackson JR year minutes instead of what he currently does.I could handle it. I think that Harris could be really effective if someone worked with him on what makes a good shot and those other basics.
Larry was a solid hire (and came as a Floyd recommendation), and McDermott was a hot commodity - he already had an offer from K-State and Pollard managed to steal him.
Wayne Morgan was, at best, the fifth choice. I suppose you could call it “settling,” but when no one else will even answer the phone, there’s not much you can do about it.
