I mean that's just crazy

I mean that's just crazy

TJ needs to quit dragging his feet, hurry up and land Karaban

 

[cycloneML]

So are we now middle of the pack of Big 12?

 

[Gunnerclone]

So are we now middle of the pack of Big 12?

No we were 0-18 in conference last year. We’re the worst team in the league by quite a large margin.

 

[CycloneErik]

I couldn’t even name our entire roster right now. Someone help.

I can't name the guys, but I'm excited about all of them.
That makes sense somehow. I'm cool with it.

When's the first game?

So that's the reason it felt like it's been forever since good bball news, the last two weeks is twice as long as any of the others!

 

[clonedude]

This guy looks like a stud. We could actually be a pretty decent team next year IMO.

Not all that excited about the Robert Jones commit and the Caleb Grill commit, but they will be decent role players I think.

Geesh, TJ is always talking about people's "work capacity". Has he reached his with this off-season, are is there more? What a run.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

In fairness I don't think Rasir was a PG either, but got forced into the role.

If he's a plus defender then that's probably an upgrade regardless. But as for rebounding, they're pretty even there too which surprised me.

Definitely not hating the move, just seemed like kind of a lateral move.

I've got issue with your last statement. 2-20 aside, Iowa State has a much better basketball reputation that Penn St

Grill re-committed if you know what I mean

 

[CySmurf]

I hereby sign my life over to one Thomas John Otzelberger, eternal servitude to my almighty master.

When he turns the Gatorade into wine, I'll think about it.

He wasn’t equating ISU and PSU.

 

[ForeverIowan]

Other than Cam'ron Fletcher did the staff miss on a target they were legitimately pursuing this Spring? Just an unreal hit rate.

With the staff now focusing on a spot or two for 2022 you've got to love our chances to land a primary target wether that be Karaban or Black or a player to be determined. 2022 class could be special.

Wow! Welcome Izaiah!

I was beginning to talk myself out of him coming the past few days, thinking he might go elsewhere! But TJ did it again. I am impressed by his first class for sure!

Izaiah, work on your outside shot some, yes. But even if you don't, I like your game a lot You have many ways to score. And your defense should be infectious! Be a leader, that's what this team needs, some leaders. You are going to be a big help to this team! Thanks for coming to Ames! You will love it.

I read this as “I like your *name* a lot,” and I think it still works. Izaiah is a cool name.

 

[jmb]

You aren’t a douche because you actually come to these threads and are excited. The two founding members of the lol TJ band are nowhere to be found.

Disagree. He is still a douche. He will be the first leading the torches to burn TJ down when we don't get to the sweet 16 next year.
