Did we land a transfer?

[rholtgraves]

We just went 13-18 and finished last.

Get the waiver, all hands on deck.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind that at all.

 

[clonebb]

Yeah I'd say its safe to assume he's a Cyclone.

Or is he going to COE?

 

[rochclone]

Demonstrably false and just straight stupid.

Yeah I know it was sarcasm.

 

[clone52]

I obviously will still cheer for him as a Cyclone. But if he shoots below 40% from the field next year with questionable shot selection I don't want to hear the board ********. In my opinion that is what we are getting. I hope the year off helps and he proves me wrong.

At Colorado State, he was the #1 option by far. Assuming Wigginton goes the NBA, Nixon will at best be the #3 option and maybe the #5 scoring option. Lard and THT will be #1 and #2. Young and Griffen might even jump ahead of Nixon.

If he's not the #1 option, his shot selection will improve. It is extremely short sighted of you to look at what he did at CSU and assume that is the player he will be at Iowa State. He's also a 84% free throw shooter, so with better shot selection, his other shooting percentages to will increase.

I bet you are a blast to hang out with.

I'm a lawyer. So if you are hanging out with me you probably are not having a good time.

I mean, look at DeAndre Kane's stats. Came to Iowa State, played with better players and turned from low 40's overall and high 20's 3 point to a 50% overal and high 30% 3 point shooter.

Not "white/awkward/right way" enough

Deandre Kane comes to mind. When the supporting staff is better. The shot selection is better.

Was hoping someone would post this. He came to my mind when I read above post. Usage rate and being the key scorer may have had something to do with it. Surely did in Nader's case.

LOL! Well done. Don't sell yourself short though, I have a couple lawyer friends and those guys know how to let their hair down.

 

[ForeverIowan]

Great news! Kid is a big time scorer. I think he could really flourish as a complinentary piece next to Wigginton, THT and Lard. I like the Nader comparison quite a few similarities there.

 

[Rabbuk]

has this been confirmed by anyone?

Yo @JStanz51 stop trying to blend in as an innocent in Mafia and get to work on this!

 

[CyTwins]

The silence from Chris and Jared is pretty telling

 

[jcyclonee]

This is true. I also think that similar to Burton it took Nader a full year (after the sit-out) to get comfortable. If Nixon is indeed a Clone then I will get on board. But this board has extremely unrealistic expectations IMO.

I think your opinion on this is better proven than most of Enstein's theories.

 

[MilehighClone]

Not sure the offensive piece will be all that important with Nixon. He will bring experience, toughness, plays with an edge. He's a good defender and very good at drawing charges. He put up some ridiculous number drawing charges this year at CSU. Good get if we land him.

As with Travis and Randy?

 

[NorthCyd]

One year, during high school basketball, I shot 100% from the line (2 for 2).

Yeahbuddy probably thinks you should be playing for the GS Warriors.

 

[carvers4math]

As with Travis and Randy?

Silence from Randy is a good thing.

 

[c.y.c.l.o.n.e.s]

Wow. If it is true that he is coming here then he will be going from Larry Eustachy to Steve Prohm. Talk about polar opposite coaching styles.
