I guess you're right. Must have been someone else that switched from pg to another position. Naz Long?
Big men at iowa state...

- Start date
Shirley only started one game. Rancik started every game he played in. Definitely not a 5.
Horton was a beast under the basket and backed down to no one. But I believe Lafester ran him out of the gym the night he dropped 54.
These threads are hilarious. We need a slow 6’10 guy that can’t shoot from beyond 2 ft and acts as a practice cone on defense! Yes, that’s exactly what we need!
Not sure Jones develops into a starting post for ISU. But with some coaching, another year in ISU's S&C program and developing a bit more confidence he can be a solid 10-15mpg player.
TJ & Staff need to find a post in the transfer portal that is a beast in the paint- defends, rebounds and has a touch of nastiness. If he is a shot blocker- JACKPOT.
I think that would be a great compliment to Kunc, Tre King and Enaruna
Tisdale was the post player for OU his 3 years. He was the most dominant college player I have seen in person. Never saw Shaq play.
Horton was a 4/5. Iowa had Lohaus in Horton's early years and Les Jepson in the later years. But the Hawks also had Al Lorenzon- so they could go big or play 2 guys at 6'8". But both 6'8" guys were 230/240 lbs.
It would be nice to have a 6’10 255 pound beast sometime. I don’t care if he runs the floor well. If he can defend and redound and make bunny lay ups/dunks I’m in.
Moss and Sam Hill were the combo i remember. 10 fouls most of Hill's were head scratchers.
We had Anthony Booker and Percy Gibson at the same time once
This post is 8 pages in and not one Aaron Agnew post. Disappointing
McKay’s behavioral issues and Steve’s inability to be a disciplinarian set the tone for Prohms tenure. I think TJ has already set the tone. Goes to show it’s much easier to take over a loser than a winner.
They kinda weren't Fred's thing and Steve sucked ass. I think we've actually seen a ton of progression from Conditt between seasons and Jones as it's gone on. It's just that neither dude it all that good. I think they'll come
Would love to see us find a transfer that plays like the kid from Vandy that stole all our lunch money a couple years ago.
Percy Gibson shot the ball from 20 feet everytime he touched the ball.
You mean the guys that brought us:
Jordan Railey
Percy Gibson
Giorgos Tsalmpouris
Merrill Holden
Simeon Carter
Ray Kasongo
Hans Brase
and full recruiting cycles with no bigs, didn't have a knack for recruiting bigs?
Hoiberg did hit on Booker, who was ok. Royce was a big for intents and purposes. McKay was probably his best 'true big'.
Prohm landed Lard, which kind of backfired. Jacobson and Young were decent. George has served a purpose...
Not horrible at the end of the day, but not good in comparison to their Big 12 counterparts. Seems we have been consistently one of, if not the smallest team in the Big 12 for as long as I can remember. Usually because even our more talented bigs tend to be on the shorter and sometimes skinnier side. I can't remember the last time we had a real decent big over 6'9''.
