I agree, I think we need another big. We have 3 legitimate posts and Talley can fill in on certain spots. If one of our posts goes down then we are thin. The problem is what kind of grad transfer can we get? Most would want to go where they will get guaranteed playing time and we have 2 legitimate starters. So any transfer that would be willing to come here might not be P5 caliber and it would be better served to us that spot for a player who has more potential (I.e Harris) to make an impact.
Jakolby Long to transfer
- Thread starter ZB4CY
- Start date
I'm cool with that. I really don't see an upside to publicly discussing rumors, behind screen names, that could be entirely false or entirely fabricated. People can PM that crap around if they must.
I am pretty supportive of Coach Prohm and am quick to call out those who are mad that he's not Fred, but one thing I am critical of him about is not red-shirting JL during his freshmen season since his shoulder injury was a significant one. That makes no sense to me.
Anyway, I am sorry to see him go, as I thought he was a good role player off the bench who does a lot of the little things well: the game at home against Oklahoma being a great example.
Best of luck to you Jakolby. We'll always have Tulsa.
JL transferring is the exact reason he didn't red-shirt as a freshman. He would have burnt up a year of eligibility during his sit-out year.
Kane was way under the radar though. Nobody projected he would be that good at Iowa State.
It would have made sense. But we have no idea if he wanted long to and long didn’t want to.
Maybe, but if you have Lard and Young playing 25-30 minutes a game and Jacobson playing 10-15 minutes a game, you only have 5-20 minutes of PT available and thats if you don't play small ball with Talley, Shayok, Babb or THT playing the 4.
I'd love for Conditt to redshirt, but he could give you a few minutes of PT in each half and not be a big problem. Just make sure he's alwyas in with either Lard or Young, so he guards the less physical post player.
You won't find many P5 players that red shirt anymore. Players want to reserve that in case they want to transfer.
What is the difference between transferring after your redshirt freshman season and having to burn a year as you sit and transferring after your sophomore year and being able to redshirt as you sit out? Either way you are still a redshirt sophomore when you start playing again.
Redshirt play play sit play
Play play redshirt play play
Both are five years, but one gives you four years to play.
You can find 4 on one B12 team this year. TCU.
There's still a chance, if you aren't redshirting, of getting PT, particularly in a year like ISU had this season. Young guys can have that chance to play and prove themselves. If you sit right away there's no chance you're going to get noticed on the floor by your coach or potential future suitors.
It's not really like football where you're going to see drastic changes in a guys strength after a RS year. The best thing to develop basketball players is getting that playing time.
I'll always remember Jakolby Long for the highlight tape of him dueling with Malik Monk.
Thanks to Jakolby for being a Cyclone. He’ll be an easy one to root for wherever* he lands.

Quiet. Francis and the Hoks haven't figured this out.
Hope not. We need a 3 point shooter not a 3rd string PG.
Yeah we all get that. But if the player isn't playing that first season anyway there is no gain.
The question was about his particular situation and redshirting his freshman season. He suffered an injury 5 games into the season and would have been a candidate for a medical hardship but instead he came back and played a meaningless grand total of 4 minutes the remainder of the season. That doesn't seem a meaningful addition to his playing career.
Would he have gotten a sixth-year exemption for the medical hardship?
If yes, I can see your point, but I thought they were being stingier about those things.
He would have gotten a medical hardship year. But he wouldn't have gotten a sixth year. He would still have had 5 to play 4 unless he suffered another injury that kept him out another whole year and they he could apply for a sixth season.
