I don't mind it.I just don't have the patience to deal with it in a PC manor an people get upset.Who's the snowfake here now? I don't see any criticism of you. Yet, haha.
Just kidding around, pulling your chain.
Charlotte Transfer Dishon Jackson commits to the Cyclones!
- Thread starter CoKane
- Start date
Beating UConn and UNC in November should take care of the doubters.
Last year or the year before he shot the corner 3 a few times, at a low percentage. The fact that he did that and kept playing tells me the coaching staff thought he might be capable. This year he rarely attempts. I believe with how good he is defensively he is a jumpshot away from playing big minutes. He may leave, but I hope he takes a step and earns a bigger role with king gone.
Edit-looked it up and he was 4 for 19 last year. 19 is enough to say he had a green light at least for awhile or TJ would bench him before that. 2 for 2 this year.
He's going to have competition for those minutes from the portal. Which is a positive.
The Cyclones also will, likely assuming everybody comes back, have one of the best guard rotations in the nation next season. That has to be enticing for any big entering the portal, or incoming freshmen.
Why wouldn't Omaha slide right into Hason's role? He's only an inch shorter and can obviously play above the rim.
I haven't seen anything from Omaha that makes me think he can replace Ward. I personally think Omaha needs to work on his ball skills and shooting so he can push to play either the 4 or the 3 in our offense.
Lots of people entering this season thought Tae King would be our starting 5. King and Omaha are not that big, they would be at a significant disadvantage in my opinion.

His hands are abysmal. Needs to take a big step forward in the offseason.
Agree, we should be able to have an opinion. Not everyone has to agree with it. Pav seems like an obvious choice as his playing time has diminished and he seems to be outmatched physically. He plays really hard and has a nice shot but Wofford or something similar is probably a better level for him.
We don't know if he can play at this level. It sounds perfect, on paper.
They mentioned Dishon on Omaha sports radio this morning. Something like, "Did you see the guy that transferred to ISU? He looks vicious, should fit right in with their defense."
They brought him up when talking about William Kyle announcing he is going to transfer from SDSU and how they think Nebraska should go for him (went to Bellevue West)

Something that I’ve noticed in these threads. There are some people here who are taking the phrase “We don’t know if (fill in the blank) can play at this level” as a polite way to say “(fill in the blank) can’t play at this level”.
That’s not how it works. It’s we don’t know. TJ and Co see these kids in practice every day. They know whether any given player can play at this level.
And as for those of you saying that this player can’t do this or that…
It’s like you’ve already forgotten what Tamin’s outside shooting looked like a year ago. And he’s currently at 39.3%, per cyclones.com.
Players improve year to year. Matter of fact, development is something TJ’s program is based upon. That’s the whole reason he’s signing a good portion of the players he’s choosing to.
Because they fit the team mentality, and have plenty of room to grow.

I honestly don't know where Omaha fits. He probably has a quicker route at playing at developing being a Tre King or Hason Ward and being a post player but if the NBA is the goal he needs to develop some perimeter skills
Agreed. We're in year 3 and have yet to see TJ get a guy who is a "finished product". Not that that happens in CBB much anyway (e.g. Hunter Dickenson). My point is, TJ has a type and it's guys who have a ceiling higher than where they're at. Osun is probably the closest we've had to a guy who was already at his ceiling.
That and does anyone think that TJ and staff have already had their season-ending meetings with players?
Any more it's a two-way street. Besides NIL, players are looking for playing time to show their skills. For some guys the NBA dream is still alive, but others the focus is to position themselves to play overseas.
Equally, coaching staffs are honest with players about future playing time during their season-ending meetings.
