Everyone needs to realize the word commitment doesn't apply to college athletics anymore unless it's applied to the participant in regard to themselves. Thank you society and NCAA.
Players know they are in a temporary relationship. I'll miss guys like Niang.

I think you’re being a little pessimistic here. There’s no might with Tamin.
Also I don’t think anyone else leaving would surprise people too much.
Robert Jones is going nowhere.
I do see however in this day and age there could possibly be a year that happens.
I would agree about Omaha. He is physically a Big 12 ready player and skilled ball handler for a 6'7" kid. But agree it's best if he can be 3rd/4th option in half court offense.
Momcilovic is a great shooter and ball handler, but it will be interesting if he is Big12 ready from a physicality standpoint. In limited game action, I don't see an explosive player. So it might take time for him to build up his body to play starter minutes. I'd be happy if he is a 15mpg/7ppg kid as a frosh.
It actually wouldn't surprise me if Hamilton doesn't surprise. As a guard he might have easiest adjustment from HS to P6 competition.
Tre King sat out nearly two years to play for Iowa State, and his role will be bigger next year. I would wager a large sum of money he will be back next year.
Milan's limitations will be seen on the defensive end. That is why I think TJ is going to relax this all or nothing defensive insistence.
Still stress it.......but not make it a priority to play or sit. Because you can't bench someone who might give up 10 easy on one end.....but give you 25 on the other. We will see.
Kinda agree, TJ didn't expect everyone to play like Gabe on the defensive end but that's not to say he doesn't expect the same effort.
Sign me up for a downgrade in defense to get a lot better offensive production!!
2022/23 Duke is around 50th in offense and around 20th in defense

2022/23 Iowa State is > 100 on offense and top around 5th in defense

Can we pay him NIL not to come back? I love his energy but having a 5 that is limited offensively and shoots less then 50% from the line is a no go for me.
Most backup 5’s in the country are limited. Rob is honestly no worse than most backup centers in the country his biggest issue is that his usage is wayyyy too high. Osun was so hot and cold this year which caused Rob to have to play more than he should’ve, and then of course we ended up seeing him step into Osun’s starting spot to end the year.
I’d love Jones back as my backup center. He’s going to outwork almost every guy on the court. I just don’t want him to start and he has to get better from the line.
Jones was better this year than last year and I would expect Jones work ethic will make him a better low post player in 2023/24. He is a solid backup center.
With the loss of guys like Gabe, Jaren, Kunc and Osun- we need a core group of team leaders that understand the discipline and hard work it takes to be an elite defensive team. Guys like Jones, King, Lipsey and Williams are going to be critical in establishing TJ's culture.
Definitely in agreement with the poster who said Fish will be a sleeper recruit. I’m extremely excited for him. His game is just fun to watch.
And they’re both watching the rest of the tourney from home.
