I'd put down $500 dollars right now that Texas does not get top 3.
Blake Hinson Committed To ISU!

- Start date
Their roster is extremely impressive. Time for Shaka to prove it!
Notably, the Duke (10), Kansas (08), and UNC (09) teams directly below Texas all won championships.
Hopefully both kids get waivers but these two would be absolute studs after a sit out year.
Shaka has had a lot of talent multiple times and has fumbled every opportunity to do anything impressive with it. We'll just have to see. I wouldn't bet on it though.

Prohm will have his hands full blending this team into a unit without so many new faces (although that's becoming more and more the reality in NCAA hoops). If COVID disrupts practices in pre-season,that could impact ISU more than a team without so many roster changes, it seems to me. (With the talent that the FB team is returning, it could be the opposite - we could have a competitive advantage).
What a great pick-up. Prohm's staff has been good at recruiting; let's see if this influx of talent can get ISU hoops back on track.

Man, this was some welcomed good news this morning. When I saw we got a committ (somewhat randomly to me) I was expecting a project, but this dude seems polished and high major ready.
Awesome that the staff was able to move quickly and snatch him up.

If they get both eligible I think they are fighting for 6th. If only one, probably fighting for 8th. If neither, it's likely a ninth place finish.
I hate to be a Debbie Downer ****, but optimizing lots of options in a lineup hasn't proven to be Steve's strength. With COVID making summer plans difficult, I hope some clear performers emerge quickly.
If so, I agree, it could be a surprisingly good team with a lot of versatile threats.
Great pick-up.

That is one really good thing from the 3 new transfers is their high level experience. They are used to high level competition which makes the adjustment to a new team so much easier than say a guy like Johnson even with a sit out year coming from a place like Troy.
To be fair, this has more or less been the normal for Steve, with the exception of his 2nd season, he's replaced the majority of the starting lineup. 17/18 he only returned one starter, Solo who was banged up all year, 18/19 NWB, LW and Lard were the only returning contributors (again Solo was beat up all year), last year was a total reshuffle. He should be getting the hang of this.
Honestly he looks like what we wanted Zion to turn into...
I love the elevation on his jump shot. It seems he often not only stops on the jump shot (rather than still drifting forward like a lot of players tend to do) but he actually jumps backwards a small amount. This makes it really tough to call a charge on a player unless he makes contact before his jump. It also makes it tougher to block and could result in more fouls on shot blockers if they do. Referees don't like to see shot blockers moving toward the shooter on the jump.
I like him already. The kid has some swagger. He'll thrive in Hilton.
Yeah, I agree. I hope they can have uninterrupted, virus-free pre-season training.
