[ChrisMWilliams]

I'll be adding to this over the next half hour or so. Here are some quotes from Anthony on why he chose Iowa State.

Did SIU change coaches or something? I found it interesting that the story talks about his loyalty while he is transferring...

It's nice to be excited about ISU BB again!

Looks like Hoiberg was listening! Made a post about this a long time ago..three of their players asked for release I believe.

Booker might have a lot of talent. He was actually rated 43rd nationally overall..who knows

Thus far, the most glaring difference between Freddy and GMAC is players transferring in rather than transferring out.

I would love to see how giggles could spin that.

you should start a twitter account so Fred can gather all your wisdom without having to sift through hundreds of threads on a message board. Or better yet, you should just give him your home number, and he can call you when he needs advice.

Welcome to the Cyclone Family Anthony!!! We are very glad to have you!!!

Nice. The Hoiberg hire keeps getting better and better looking in my eyes. We havent had a "wide body" that might contribute for a while. Aaron Agnew doesnt count.

Neither does Reggie George

I completely agree. I am doing ISU and Hoiberg a great service by giving him advice. Also by writing this message right now that progresses things no further.

"JAMIE POLLARD HAS TO TURN HIM AWAY! HE CRITICIZED TRANSFERS IN TODAY'S CULTURE! HYPOCRITE! BOSTON! CREIGHTON! I HATE ISU!"


Pretty easy to predict, really.

Someone who listens would have to verify, but a coworker of mine said that the radio idiot's only real comment about Booker was:
"Is 6'8" big enough to play the 4?"

I know the guy isn't very bright, but did he actually ask that question??

He asked if he was big enough to play it in the Big 12. And when he was wondering about him being a decent player because of his averages, I wondered how different his opinion would be if this guy transferred to Creighton rather than ISU.

 

[Boxerdaddy]

I think it really came down to him not having to buy new clothes. He can just switch the I and S. SIU becomes ISU :wink:

great pickup for CFH and staff

Maybe we should ask this guy if 6'8" is big enough to play the 4 in the Big 12...

Or Charles Barkley or Kenyon Martin or Carlos Boozer or David Lee or Jason Maxiel or Glen Davis............
