I’m not saying he is, but it’s also within the realm of possibility that he’s not ready to play yet next year.
Jeez are you all Rock’s uncles or something?

Well, that escalated quickly.
I get what you are trying to say but for Rock to turn out anything like Skogland he would have to appear with a prosthetic leg next year and even then I would still take JT.
Not playing meaningful minutes in what would normally be his true freshman year is a far cry from being another "Skoglund". I think you lost people with that comparison.
Why would that excuse your dimwitted response. We aren't adding 2 centers. Rock is going to play. Let me guess last fall you were concerned about Momcilovic's ability to play defense but it had nothing to do with skin color.
My point is just that I think a lot hinges on if he’s able to be an important rotation player next year. Skogs wasn’t, that’s the comp, I’m not saying I think Rock will be a bust.
Thanks for making your point without cursing at/insulting me, some posters struggle with that.
How do you know. Scoglund was a good recruit when we got him. So was Ross Marsden, so we’re about 5 other recruits that were gonna be good. We all hope Rock is good but acting like he is a sure thing is a bit weird
I really try to avoid but worrying about Rock being ready next year is ******* ridiculous.We haven’t even started the tourney and it seems like every thread has people going after each other.
This place will be a war zone on Friday if we lose haha.
This. Who’s to say someone doesn’t offer Gilbert $1M? Or Cujo $100k and a guaranteed starting spot? You never know and it’s best to be prepared for anything.
Skoglund and Marsden were not highly rated recruits. They were players the staffs at the time took a chance on because they were 7 foot or in Marsdens case, 6’10. They weren’t some highly sought after kids. Rock is a top 100 recruit who was sought after by a lot of high major schools. He is not even remotely comparable to those other two. He is definitely not a sure thing, but he is not the same type of recruit of Skoglund or Marsden.
Marsden was a 200-250 ranked recruit. Rock was in the top 100 even after reclassifying. JT might not pan out, but he and Marsden were not similar recruits.
Bringing up Marsden reminds me how those Ames teams massively underachieved. Start 3 D1 forwards/centers with a D1 quarterback running point. I can't remember who their 5th starter was.
Close but FIFYWe haven’t even started the tourney and it seems like every thread has people going after each other.
This place will be a war zone on Friday no matter what
Ok then we will use Alex Thompson who was rated 127. The fact is we don’t know how good anyone is based on their ranking. Hopefully Rock is the real deal
