Exactly. Playmakers. All game long and not just at end of games. Its great if those guys can shoot, but you need 2 guys on floor that can make plays. Can be big or guard. We barely had 1 this year.
Iowa State Transfer/Recruiting Class 2023
- Thread starter CoKane
- Start date
But obviously they play a lot of Madden. So that's just like coaching.
im a coach i know ball
Here is an interesting question for Cyclone Nation: If TJ would have had Nowell and Johnson on the team, would ISU made the sweet 16 or further? I say yes. Good players make coaches look good. So, is Tang THAT much better than TJ? Or did those 2 players make it appear that way?
College basketball is mostly recruiting with some coaching.
College football is mostly coaching with some recruiting.
I'm exaggerating but the two sports have different emphases.
Seems to me coaching is just as important as players. A good coach can meld the great recruits into one cohesive team, a good coach has a system that executes even in crunch time and a good coach has a feel for the game.
There are a lot of coaches who strike gold for a few seasons, not many coaches are elite over their career.
It's year to year. I think this year's team was better than last year's team yet won less games overall and obviously didn't make it as far in the NCAA Tournament. Both this year's team and last year's team were honestly a lot less talented than the team Tang just coached.
Will be interesting to see KSU next year without Nowell. Tang is a good coach and they had a solid squad but he made that team go. They almost lost the game against Michigan State when he went down for a few minutes
Them doctors and lawyers have all kind of money, plus Creighton owns a lot of OmHa from CHI arena to the university .
You left off Nebraska Furniture Mart/ Berckshire Hathaway.
Edit: stock is a little down, only $457,820/share

they lose 90% of their scoring and even best guy that could return Tomlin seems like transfer candidate to a big time program or tries to go pro.
it's year to year in these current times. have to rebuild entire rosters often. we'll see if Tang can get a couple more big time transfers. it's no guarantee year to year and Nowell/Johnson will be almost impossible to replace. i'd expect a big step back for them next year more like a bubble team.
Thought it was interesting ISU was specifically listed in the teaser though...
Im not getting excited about anyone until we are in their final 3. not their grocery list of everyone that has contacted them.
I believe we are playing in Maui next year. Has to help a little bit with recruiting transfers I’d imagine.
Disagree
In every sport recruiting is #1. You cannot win anything without players. In basketball one guy can make a program, football takes more
No coincidence that our recent football “success” coincides with the most guys in the nfl that we have had in years.
True basketball can be more 1:1, and football requires better (more coordinated) coaching.
