Dudley Blackwell into the Transfer Portal

[NetflixAndClone]

Could someone give me a TL;DR on this? I may just be out of the loop this week, but I thought Bolton was trending on staying (though that may have been when Prohm was still the coach). Is the speculation around Bolton founded in anything?

All i've heard is rumors, but everything has been from twitter and conversations with fans claiming to be in the know (when they probably pulled it from twitter too.)

Spoiler: Twitter rumor

I've heard everything from he isn't well liked in the locker room. The other is his play style isn't going to fit in well with how TJ wants to play/he isn't excited about his role being diminished.

I'm not going to take these as fact unless someone with real creditable comes out and says why though. I'm hoping Bolton stays because I do believe he is a good player.

Can walker and foster stay!

Appreciate the reply! That's what I assumed, but haven't heard any specific news regarding him.

great news

Was he the one that hardly ever played on a 2 win team? Good luck to him. Has some athletic potential.

 

[ISUTex]

Stop saying hero ball. Prohm put his players in ****** positions and there’s nothing left to do at the end of the clock. No one was trying to be a “hero”.

He did that by making Bolton the point guard.

He did that by making Bolton the point guard.

It was well before that when he failed to bring in an actual PG and was left with Bolton as the only option. Recruiting is more important than everything else combined in CBB. To his credit Prohm realized that and probably pitched Hunter on guaranteed starting and as many shots as he felt like putting up.

Bolton is next

again?

 

[CoachHines3]

if i had to choose losing bolton or being able to keep hunter/foster

i choose the latter.

He's forever on the all time ISU hair team. Loved the hairstyles he had. Best of luck to him.

That fact that ISU went 2-21 and we didn't know if Blackwell or Dubar were good, bad, or just freshman who didn't know what they heck there were doing, all because Prohm didn't play them in an effort to save his job, is the biggest loss of the season.

The freshmen didn't know what they were doing, the juniors and seniors didn't know what they were doing, the coaching staff had no clue what was going on...lost cause

Scholarship Chart

Note: Players who are eligible for the COVID-19 year are removed from the chart unless Iowa State has previously noted how many years they're expected to be with the program.

Will have 4 once Blackwell is updated. Hearing a 5th is close

Thanks. Think I was leaving out the one once promised to Nunn

 

[LLCoolCY]

Good Luck to Dudley. Hope he can find success at his next spot.

Are T.J.'s UNLV signings bound to UNLV by their letter of intent? Or are they fair game as well?

Think about it this way. Prohm found a better job than Iowa State because he was a good coach. (Stay with me here it is an analogy). He lands the open Texas job and offers Tyrese Hunter a scholly there. Hunter could decommit from Iowa state and transfer to Texas. I would think that T.J.'s UNLV signings could do the same.

 

[Cyclad]

Best of luck to him. I think he’s likely another player who was nicely asked to transfer.

I wish him well too. From what I saw, very low skills and overstated athleticism. He needs to play at a much lower level.

Agree. Somewhat. I still think he should've played Walker at point though. He could develop into a nice PG.

 

[Fishhead]

I’m kind of surprised with the Bolton rumor. I read the tweet from a couple of weeks back as not letting a shtty season happen again. I for one hope he stays

Signed players can't be offered a scholarship to a different school, he would have to ask for and be released from scholarship for other schools to communicate with him. Kaluma looks to be the only one signed at UNLV at this point and its doubtful he would come here anyway.
