Let’s Get Creative: all Iowa State never was, but what if team

[cyclones500]

Coach Orr really thought he had Lowell Hamilton out of Providence St Mel in Chicago.

Oh wow, that's right, I totally had forgotten about that. I vaguely remember him talking about it at some, maybe on radio or in a news story.

Went to Illinois and started(?) on team that went to '89 Final Four.

Just think, Orr "almost" got two players who played in that FF, Rice (U-M, won title) and Hamilton.

AJ Green was the shooter we needed on 22-23 team

Glen Rice
Lowell Hamilton
CJ Bruton
Gerrod Henderson
Wes Johnson

6th Man Sam “Burger King” Mack

I thought Gerrod Henderson was going to be awesome for us. He won the slam dunk contest at the Big 22 classic at Hilton.

Wayne Morgan prize recruit after Homan and Vroman graduated.

Became very sick(mono?)right before the season started. Lost a ton of weight and never contributed that season.

Had he been %100 healthy along with Stinson, Blalock and Clark......that team wins more than 20 games and makes the dance.

Of course he transfers when Wayne gets let go. Would have been fun to see him with those three players and Wayne's run and gun offense.

Taggart actually played quite a bit off the bench as a Fr but yes had an illness and was super skinny.

Looks like he averaged almost 18 min. per game and 5.6 ppg. He had a nice role, maybe 6th man on that D Rose Memphis team that played for the title I think.

The never made it to ISU guys that come to mind:

Bruton
X Foster
Pelle
Malou
Barnes (though I didn't think that was going to happen given the status of McD)
But captain of the team is Glen Rice both in terms of how close it was to happening and having one of the best runs in college bball and the tourney in recent decades.

I once told someone that Aaron Agnew was going to be the next Victor Alexander while waiting in the porta potty line at a football game. I may have been drinking.

 

[awd4cy]

Mike Taylor, Tim Barnes, Chris Colvin, Ivan Chivarez, Cam Lard, Calvin Godfrey

 

[Drew0311]

Imari Sawyer
Jerome Harper
Chris Alexander
Theo Davis

We also had a guy named King from I think Washington state that was a playground legend and left after like one game.

Tommie King. Played just a few non-con games and then bolted

Hinrich and Collison.

Did you (or anyone else) hear about Collison getting his shorts pulled down as he went up for a dunk against Clarion during his senior year of high school?

Foster? He played a year.

His ability was there but then he was hurt and seemed disinterested in doing pretty much anything.

 

[demoncore1031]

Charles Boozer
Chris Colvin
Justin Hamilton

Did Cam Lard end up playing anywhere after ISU? I can't remember.

Geez I totally forgot his few games at ISU.

[alexssdean12]

Who needs a point guard:

Jimmy Butler

Glenn Rice
Emmanuel Malou
Cheick Diallo

Bench: Rashad Vaughn

[cyatheart]

Sam Mack
Skip McCoy

 

[CyNews]

Wes Johnson-situation badly handled by McDermott.

 

[kirk89gt]

Mark Baugh and Derrick Hayes are the first ones that come to mind

Throw in Sam Mack while your at it too.

 

[Ankency]

Charles Boozer
Chris Colvin
Justin Hamilton

He did not

Thought of another one: Skip McCoy. As I recall, he ended up transferring to New Mexico State and doing really well there.
