Iowa State Transfer/Recruiting Class 2024
- Thread starter CoKane
- Start date
Waiting for ZRF to critique the transfers and TJ’s recruiting, or is that Madguy’s new job.
A step up skill wise from Jones/King but if whether he'll be as intense and energetic as Jones remains to be seen.
Damn, I didn't recall that.
I am confident TJ will have us much higher in those ratings next year. We will need to be in order to make a (legit) deep run.
The offense was really good when Milan was hitting shots and had to be accounted for on every possession, and struggled when Milan hit the wall. An improved, more consistent Milan will improve the offense. A 5 that has more than 5’ of range will help, too.
To reset a little, with Hadley out of the picture. Who are primary, remaining realistic targets?
Visits in the works have been reported for Joshua Jefferson and William Kyle III, both guys have some other visits working though so nothing guaranteed.
Jefferson is being courted by Michigan. I have doubts about him coming here.
Gaining strength should help him to post up more where he can use his fadeaway more effectively. Although I only remember him using his half hook a couple of times, that shot can also be an option closer to the hoop.
Thanks. I thought those were the two "known," but I've been somewhat out-of-loop past couple of days.
I don't recall any others that had been mentioned as possibilities. That could change, of course.
So based on that, likelihood is we're trying for one more big, and being content with guard/wing. ("Content" might be an understatement)
Ezra Ausar has been contacted, but no visit set so no idea how serious it is
What I've been thinking as well. He used the hook a lot in high school, but it seemed like he fell in love with the fadeaway a tad too much this year when he could've got an easier shot. Getting position early and using some booty ball could be a dangerous addition to his arsenal.
How many P6 teams is not a starter? Maybe 5?
How many teams is he not the best guy on the freaking team?? I bet he would be the best guard on the team for maybe a third of the P6, ffs.
With Big Rob gone, i think Curt is my new fave player. Just so solid.
Yeah he needs to add some other moves. Some counters to the fade and when he gets a smaller defender needs a go to shot to the hoop rather than fading away
Haven’t heard much about Omaha or J Hamilton offers list ….. it sounded like an earlier post suggested TJ would have liked both to stay , do you think TJ has left the door unlocked for a possible return from either? Apparently they both wanted more playing time …(like all players) maybe they are seeing it differently out in the open?
It was obvious after the non-con, everyone knew about Milan's fadeaway. I often thought he should just turn and go straight up, a lot of defenders would have jumped into him expecting him to fade back.
Yeah some sort of up and under type move or something. Defenders were really leaning on him
