Wigginton, THT, Shayok, Tyrese, 4 of the most talented players in school history and all they will have is 1 tournament loss to show for it.
Congrats to Tyrese

Imagine thinking two players who were Honorable Mention All Conference were two of the most talented players in school history. Lol
According to their 247 rankings they are actually the 2nd and 3rd most talented recruits in the history of this program.
Yep totally more talented than Niang, Monte, Hoiberg, Stevens, Grayer, Ejim, Tinsley, etc. You're right lol
What would you think if ISU had two top 5 picks and didn't get to the Final Four?
Lol, you're comparing Coach K not getting to the Final Four with 2 freshman, going against a much more experienced, and equally well coached Michigan State team, to not even winning 1 tournament game in 3 years with a combination of the best players in school history?
Now thats some stretching!!
I watched that Michigan State team play twice in the tourney last year. That is a well oiled college basketball machine. Its not surprising at all they beat a team with two top 5 picks.
So THT was not a freshman? You think LW was some sort of seasoned veteran and played like it? Point is Duke was way more talented than ISU has been, and didn't do as well vs. talent with a truly elite coach. I guess the NCAA tourney doesn't care about recruiting rankings.
Did you think the 2014-15 Iowa State team was really talented? And why don't you think Hoiberg coached very well in the tournament?
You say "all they have" while also saying they're dumb for leaving to go pro. Wigs was here 2 years, one on a bad team. THT and Shayok were here 1 year.
They will also always have a tournament championship ring. I can hear it now from you though: any team can get hot over 3 days.
You are just so damn insufferable.
It wasnt my opinion genius, just go look at the 247 rankings, they are 2nd and 3rd behind Brackins.
You cant be serious? So 3 years of a combination of all those players together and you have no higher expectations than exactly 1 NCAA tournament loss. Talk about setting the bar low.
But Haliburton and Shayok wouldn't be in the same grouping then. Neither were big recruits
You are saying I can’t be serious but then are combining their years? They were together on the same team for 1 year. Some times personalities, opponents, coaches, etc can factor into a result. Hell Virginia got bounced in the first round just two years ago.
I can be disappointed in the tournament result last year but I can also move on from it and not make me miserable unlike you.
Fizer 3-1
Tinsley 3-2
Stinson/Blaylock 1-1
Royce 1-1
Clyburn 1-1
Ejim 4-3
Niang 5-4
Morris/Naz/Thomas 5-4
Wigginton/Shayok/THT/Tyrese 0-1 combined in NCAA tournament
Where is the disconnect here, point Im making is Tyrese is going to spend his entire career here without winning a tournament game, along those guys that are no longer here I mentioned.
Woof. You are comparing things that don’t have the same denominator (years, coaches, opponents, etc).
Wiggs and THT may have needed the money and went pro. Even if it’s 40k a year. I don’t know and I won’t guess on their life decision to chase their dream. If one of the two of them come back this year, sure things could be different but I’m not going to be insufferable like you daydreaming about those possibilities. I’m going to root for this year’s team, just like I did last year, and the year before.
Crazy to think Royce only won one post-season game at Iowa State. What a waste of his career
I didn’t think Will Blaylock should have declared but I haven’t been dwelling on it like some people do about other players.
Everyone knows why Lindell left.
Yep, and he took out Jim Calhoun in his first NCAA tourney game!
