Ernst
- Thread starter Cyclad
- Start date
Ernst once went 2 and 2 in 8 minutes vs Chicago State. Simeon Carter went 2 and 1 in 8 minutes vs Chicago State.
Bowie and Holden didnt play vs Chicago State.
Its science.
We pushed our Ernst to get Holden if you step back and look at it. Could have been a mistake for all I know but I just don't get the Ernst fascination.
Thought we'd have Malou and Lard, and since this is 100% prognostication thread, Lard has more potential than any big we've signed under Prohm. Young second best. You can argue Kasongo, Carter, Ernst against each other, but in reality all 3 most likely don't play much unless we miss hard on our last 3 scholarships.
Right or wrong Prohm evaluated his class in the spring and thought that Holden, Bowie, Solomon and Carter (and Burton) would be the best combo in the post for the team and likely relayed that to Ernst. I am not sure why everyone thinks a staff that watched all these guys play for over a year together are a better evaluators of talent than the Coach. Especially because Prohm is the one that would be deciding on rotation minutes.
I hope Ernst succeeds at X, other than this now I will have to see this thread every time he scores 10 points. Ernst wasn't likely to play for Prohm and will get a better chance at minutes now. If Brady was still on the roster today he'd be sitting right now too and many would be upset that he didn't transfer out and taking a scholarship from getting a different post player.
The same way Jackson does, right?
You continually miss so badly on Ernst and our big men that you could be Prohm.
How in the world am I missing on Ernst? I said I don't think he's any better than Holden considering we pushed him out to pursue Holden and Bowie.
Also, he seems to have a small head and we don't want any odd looking kids playing for ISU. Leave that for Iowa.
What production would Ernst need to have at Xavier for people to think we made a mistake?
I think people would be all over the place with that answer.
I think people would be all over the place with that answer.
Depends on how good Xavier is too, if he averages 7-8 and 5-6 on a top 25 team, that'd probably be enough to show he could get minutes here. That is what Bowie is averaging right now.
We would all take that
Well Holden and Carter have proven to be virtually unplayable, so any production from Ernst would be a net positive. It is just a really, really low bar.
247 auto defaults any juco player to a 3 star when they commit to a program. We won't know real juco rankings until May orobably.
It is a low bar, but what reason do we have that Ernst would meet that standard this year? Personally, I don't think he'd be playing over Holden this year in any case. So basically this will be a Kasongo/Carter vs Ernst debate the next two years.
Prohm seems to want an athletic rim runner type posts which didn't appear to be Brady's game style to me in the few highlight videos and minutes I've seen of him.
You seem like the type that was thrilled when we got Ernst. Maybe I should look that up
I'm not defending it either way. I'm just saying the bar is so low, whats the point?
