Looks kinda bad for Texas when TJ can find an upgrade at the local high school.
I doubt this is the truth, but FWIW:
If I had to guess, a $500k windfall is a life changing amount of money for at least 75% of Americans. It still sucks for ISU but maybe it helped his family as well. We’ll see if that was only a short term gain at the cost of future NBA money. There’s no denying ISU has had a much better 10 year stretch putting talent in the NBA vs Texa$ and their oil money.
He has a very low chance of making to the NBA no matter where he plays.
This is no longer sour grapes because my feelings have faded, mostly due to Lipsey’s great play and this teams great season thus far. He’s just not that good though. He has a hard time really affecting the game offensively because he doesn’t finish at the rim and is loose with the ball. Im sure he’s still an asset defensively but it certainly doesn’t jump off the screen.
And maybe he realized that and is taking the money where he can. Who knows. I just hope that if Texas comes back to Hilton next year (assuming they play in Hilton after conference expansion), the students don’t ridicule him this time. They got their chance and ISU won, let him be this time.
Yeah, hard to blame him for taking that kind of money. Its what came after that pissed a lot of people off.
Eh he will get a solid look. He needs to shoot better though. If not he will make a bunch of money in Europe.
Few things in life are guaranteed. That amount of money, when well managed, can be transformational. I don't believe I've ever faulted him for leaving, but do wish he had left the big 12
After Gonzaga game, many people including some ISU fans thought he vastly improved his shooting and is likely a first round pick. Now his overall shooting percentage fell below 40% and is slightly worse than his freshman year.
