Iowa State interested in Temple transfer, Jeremiah Williams
- Thread starter Connor_Ferguson
- Start date
Not really bothering.
WI won a lot with 'boring' basketball.
Having a perfect mix like what they found in 13/14 and 14/15 is hard to hit for non-blue bloods but that would be pretty rad too.
Yeah you apparently didn't see my edit where I laid pretty much that exact thing out.
My memory was of them scoring more than that.
As far as our name being involved with this guy, I like it. He’s athletic, a good ball handler, and can play defense. Will he want to come here and not start? Who knows, but if that’s an option he’s probably a take.
Now if we’re selling him on being “the guy”, (highly doubtful imo) then I certainly question it. I don’t think we are though. I think we’re looking at 1-2 posts, a “hybrid” athlete if you will (this guy), a dynamic scorer and a shooter.

I'm not sure what is more stressful: having the ability to go on a flurry that puts you up 20 while having the ability to lose a lead of the same size at any time, or having most games play out with leads or deficits ranging in single digits most of the game.
Having an 8 point lead feel like it's 20 is pretty fun too, and winning is the most fun, regardless.
They lost to NEBRASKA in Hilton in late February.
Can you imagine CF if it were a thing back then? 'Bench Willoughby! Why is Pratt even playing? Whar Cato body language!?'
That NEBRASKA team with Lue and Moore were not bad. Beat a 11th ranked ISU team in Lincoln by 10 earlier. I still remember their OT game at Lawrence in which NU lost in OT to KU. Disappointing, but not quite like this team at 7-9 losing on senior night to a 6-10 Ok St team with nothing to play for, or blowing the KSU home game imo.
As for getting stomped by KU in the second round of the Big 12, that KU team was supposed to be a generational type #1 team. Pierce, LaFrentz, Pollard, Vaughn, Haase, Robertson. Loved seeing them lose to Arizona in the tournament.
The defense played in the Floyd era Big 12 was not the same as the defense that was played in this year's Big 12.
Yeah, if IIRC, it was more straight up man to man, with Cato as a rim protector if someone got beat (rather than hedging the screens)
I was more referring to the defenses that Floyd team faced since I was quoting a post that commented on Floyd's last team only scoring in the 40s twice.
After the way Illinois tiny guards got exposed the last month or so, they NEED this kid.
And it’s just a reminder that past connections are as important with transfers as high school kids.
That's a quick announcement.

He's picking ISU tomorrow.......will be a very good pick up if he follows through and picks the Cyclones......can shoot, drive, pass, and is a very good defensive player (led team in steals as a freshman) who can guard the 1,2, and 3.....great job by the staff
I hope you’re correct. It would be an excellent start
Losing IB’s size in the backcourt, we need a guy like this to maintain the defense. If he can play pg in the AAC, he can help our offense too.
TJ/staff have 100% earned the benefit of the doubt, but there are a few seasons of evidence that suggest otherwise.
