Don’t know what to think of that quote. Either Bob is going to be a stud this year or our front court is going to suck.

Bob looks like he's made some significant improvements physically. Good for him. Hopefully he's also improved as a finisher around the rim and can find a way to make more than half his free throws going forward. He will be an experienced backup post the next couple years.

Osun will start and Ward will be the primary backup. A major step up from our frontcourt last year.

That's right, and it will be nice to have a deep and talented front court for the first time in well, maybe ever at ISU.

I am nervous about the back court though. Who is going to make shots, score, play point guard etc? The incumbents from last year don't shoot great (Grill the best at 34.8) and nobody is really that proven of a bucket getter. Hopefully Holmes is the 2nd coming of Brockington, but I think it's probably a bit of a tall ask of him. Really scares me that PG duties will likely be split by the 2 freshmen. We can probably get by with them in the non con ok, but once Big 12 play rolls around, look out.

I don’t know but Cato was pretty good big man and Big Vic wasn’t to bad either!
