We can't keep a coach. That's the reason we struggle recruiting. Maybe if we can get s competent coach that wants to coach here, that will change.

It's Pollards fault we can't keep coaches abday lose them to the Bulls. Lol.

Too much waiting!

It was a bit of a dig at hoiberg

But mostly it was that I don't think it's fair to act like we should be getting top players when we can't keep a coach. I did research and there was no program that has even been somewhat successful with as much turnover as us. And I don't think we can be elite until we have a coach that stays for more than 5 years. Even if Fred had liked it enough to stay for 8 years, it would have helped.

But I do really like prohm. I think he actually enjoys coaching at college, so as long as his wife can handle Iowa, maybe we can start to develop

Thank you to those who didn't crucify me when I posted what I had heard on here. I am very happy and willing to share inside scoops when I receive them.

What about those who did crucify you? Lol!

Great Friday news.

Welcome to Cyclone Nation Lindell.

I guess feazell shoulda stayed with the good guys. Lol.

This may sound super creepy but I get Lindell's tweet notifications (just in case). Last night he tweeted and deleted "Always knew it." Assuming he heard the news about Oregon signing the 4 star, perhaps he needed an outlet to lash out? Then realized he didn't want to show his hand and deleted it. All speculation of course...creepy speculation.

This is when I thought Oregon lost the battle.

Glad we didn't get kicked in the nuts this time. I was seriously expecting another one of those.

Why are you people awake at 4 am?

2nd shift worker.

48 to 15. Didn't realize we were so bad before him

Dropped a bunch when Feazell decommited.

I don't know much about basketball, I rely on a good friend to clue me in on what it all means. He played basketball for years and has been an iSu season ticket holder for decades. IMO, he knows basketball like a coach knows basketball.

My friend was not excited when Feazell committed, didn't like his athleticism, iirc. So, likely, there are at least some iSu fans who believe, with LW now on board and Feazell gone, we have a chance to land a better class without Feazell than with him.

Just one point of view. . . .

This thread is a classic CF roller coaster ride.

Kudos to the coaching staff.

 

[RedDog]

The athleticism of both Wigginton and McNeill is off the charts good. It is gonna be fun to watch.

This class is made now everything else will be gravy. Stokes would be some delicious gravy but gravy nonetheless.

I don't buy it. Unless your friend has some personal access to Feazell scouting info, there just wasn't much out there available to get much read into his talent level.

As I've said previously we're going to look a lot more like a Billy Kennedy team than a Fred Hoiberg team in the coming years.

 

[CTTB78]

Great job by Coach Prohm closing the deal. We obviously have a coach that loves to recruit.

 

[el tornado]

Welcome to Focus Town Mr Wigginton

And 3 more schollys still open...
Iowa State is going to be Big Time

 

[Bestaluckcy]

I think we are going to see Coach Prohm teams in Hilton. That's going to be a good thing.

 

[CyValley]

I don't buy it. . . .

That's fine, just means you're not among the "some" mentioned. ;-)

 

[cymac2408]

Just want to wish him well at Oregon. I also want him to know that one time next year I'll take a nap and HOPEFULLY be able to watch him play at midnight.

I don't have to take a nap now to watch him play. Only problem now though is this old guy will have to sit out in the cold with the college kids during the winter. Don't worry kids, Kool-Aid and Jello for everyone

I'd like to see a big, just so we can keep building there and don't need a ton of grad transfers. But yes, plenty to be happy about.
