J'Vonne Hadley (Curtis Jones' cousin) to have zoom meetings with Iowa State & MSU this week

[Cymark86]

So to summarize for some of us... We were no longer leading for Hadley? Likely need to commit more $$ to land him?

Sounds about right. My concern is the other players knowing what he may be getting.

No offense to Iowa State, but some our current guys would get more than Hadley(what’s he alleged to he getting). How much is loyalty worth? We may end up finding out.

Shut up and get back to selling pizzas and beer.

A loooooot of pizzas and beer.


Just kidding, Blum. Keep fighting the good fight.

Is there an Ames Lager IPA? I would buy that.

I vote Ames Ale or ISUPA

There was some ISU IPA in a Black tall boy with silver Trice stripes, but i haven't seen that in awhile.

Are you talking about Cyclones Hazy IPA by Backpocket Brewing?

Give those minutes to Nojus Indrusaitis. I understand we are "all-in" for a Final 4 run next year but lets continue to invest in the future at the same time. Prep recruits need to continue to be the foundation. Developmental program. Indrusaitis is a stud could very well have a Momcilovic type impact his freshman year.

No, they were role players alongside transfers. Roles easily filled by transfers if needed, and in Lipsey’s case, only available because of an injury to transfer and AJ Green deciding late to go pro

Rosters are year-to-year. It’s not preferable to have a freshman Nojus get time instead of adding Hadley, based on the archaic concern of “if the staff doesnt count on him this year he is in the portal less than 12 months from now”.


We won’t compete with prep recruits as the foundation. Being a developmental program means being young. It doesn’t mean bypassing NIL- see Hunter

If we want to have a great culture or an "Iowa State way" we have to have some freshmen that turn into 3 and 4 year players that carry on that culture.

 

[AdRock4Cy]

That is the one. So if I buy that none of it goes to the NIL?

 

[cyclonespiker33]

I believe some of the money goes to the athletics dept. None to We Will.

 

[WhatchaGonnaDo]

Is there an Ames Lager IPA? I would buy that.

Pale Lagers exist. But Ales and Lagers are entirely different categories of beer with wildly different brewing processes.

"Lager IPA" is not a thing.

That would be an IPL

Yes and no. I'm certainly not disagreeing entirely. Ideally, yes you absolutely would want culture guys to come through as freshmen for sure and not have to "unlearn" other types of ball, so to speak.

At the same time, I'd argue Jaz and BRE are the peak examples of what Otzelball is all about, and neither started here.

So when do college football and basketball completely break away from academics, and eligibility, etc are no longer a thing and it's just a complete semi-pro league? That's probably coming sooner than we think especially with these power conferences forming. Seasons, tourneys, etc will then get extended to create even more revenue. We are starting to see that with high school sports. High school sports still exist, but are starting to pale in comparison to these regional/national club leagues which are slowly becoming revenue generators as well.

They already have. It's called the SEC, minus Vanderbilt.

I get that once in a while. Pretty good. I think what would be a big seller would be a session IPA sold in 15 packs like Founders All Day IPA

 

[nfrine]

The system is broken at this point. I’ll keep contributing, but us smaller donors start to wonder how much benefit we are having.

Two things that would help:

1. Get JP to sell Ames Lager in JT and Hilton.
2. Get Ames Lager to distribute to other cities with Cyclone fans. KC, Minneapolis, St. Louis

3. Sign a beer deal with Busch Light...

Alright, West O, time to start mass production on IPAmes.

 

[HoustonClone]

I believe some of the money goes to the athletics dept. None to We Will.

That's what I thought as well. I enjoy the hazy and went with that as my drink of choice during our Big 12 Tournament and NCAA wins. But I also buy the Ames Lager to support We Will. I have to be strategic as I live in Colorado, but our oldest is going to Iowa State next year, so my supply chain will be more intact.

 

[jcyclonee]

Or CyPA.

 

[Pat]

Or CyPA.

That’s better, but licensing might pose problems?

 

[CycloneVet]

Since NIL was approved and implemented in August of 2021, we have had zero incoming transfers from any of the P6 basketball conferences that I can think of. We had a slight advantage with Hadley given relationships but he was always going to command higher dollar being a contributor on a P6 team.
