That’s my new goal for the next tourney appearance with our next coach.

To be fair, it’s recruiting though so you never truly know and you aren’t officially out until they announce their decision. I’m not optimistic on either one but I can’t say with 100% confidence Iowa State is out. Let’s hope we get a nice surprise.
Im just holding out hope that these tight lipped recruitments will end up like Fosters, where everyone thought he was going elsewhere the week to day prior.
Let’s hope that is the case! Seems like most of our recent recruiting wins have gone that way. Wigginton and THT was kinda similar to Foster as well.
Sounds like Turner (Missouri) and Aiken (Seton Hall) won’t be coming. Hard to get excited about next season.
Do you spend your whole life being a whiny ***** or do you just reserve it for this board?
Tough to blame the GT kids for not wanting to come here, why would someone in that position transfer to a rebuild for the final year or eligibility? It'll be a tough sell even for the sit out guys. You're probably looking at a situation similar to Fred's first couple of years, if you want talent, you may have to bring in kids with some baggage.
Look, it’s the guy that didn’t know when Monte played for ISU.
Stop, or in your words GTFO
I know I'm going to get hit with a ton of optimistic notifications, but I think we all still need to allow everything to play out. This is a very weird off season due to the world we're now living in. There are going to be a lot of other transfers who end up making the move, however have not yet because it might not feel like the right time. Remember that it's still early April. The national championship game would have been played this weekend.
No it won’t- we just won 12 games and finished 9th. This may not be the bottom, but 10th isn’t way worse. Only slightly worse!
We’re only 1 or 2 good players away from having a real chance of being a tournament team. Maybe that doesn’t happen, but then we’ll likely have a couple nice redshirt transfers. That would mean 2021-22 should be better. It’s not getting way worse, it’s just a matter of how quickly we get better!
You always need to let things play out, yet the concerns posted thus far aren’t inappropriate imo.
I think we got Kane in May (which allowed Oregon to get Armardi in the summer), Bolton in May, Talley in the summer.
Although everything is shifted up with the abrupt ending, things could easily end up prolonged with the uncertainty and unusual offseason.
We have a lot to offer, so one would expect Prohm to eventually land at least one good GT this spring or summer.
For crying out loud. How many thumb suckers do we have on this board? In my 40 plus years as a Cyclone, I've never heard so much whining.
This. He needs to continue after Aiken and Turner and then after that go after good sit out guys like Dejulius from Michigan and I am sure there will be more. There is more depth of talent usually in the sit outs than in the grad transfers.
I, for one, am incredibly happy that the year in which a pandemic ended sports prematurely, Iowa State basketball sucked. Could you imagine the pandemonium us fans would've gone through had this been a year in which we were a really solid team?
Kane's recruitment was a lot like Aikens, from the day he announced his transfer from Marshall it was assumed that he was leaving specifially to join PITT. It was late in the process when either Kane or other Staffs realized there could be better fits and he his market heated up.
We should also remember this visit dead period being extended really hurts Prohm's pitch selling Ames, I think most of us know how pretty the campus is and the feeling of Hilton but these recruits aren't getting to have that experience to help sell these transfers to convince them to move to Iowa for a year. Turner and Aiken specifically mentioned that they wanted to visit campuses, and part of the reason SH and Mizzou are in the lead is they have long standing relationships with the coaches.
In those 40 plus years how have you not figured out the difference between whining and pointing out the ******* obvious?
The program is circling the drain, time to come to grips with it.
