I have nothing against Adam, and I'm glad that Sean is walking on. Sounds like one of the better walk ons that we've had in a while.
I hope this thread pops up next season when he is contributing on the court and everyone loves him.
I followed Adam's career when for a few years in high school as well as college, and it seems like I've been paying attention to him in some capacity for 8 or 9 years now. I have nothing against him, I won't begrudge anybody for transferring. If you don't want to be here, I don't want you here, period.
Let it freaking go. I doubt he regrets his decision and I don't think he would have been a huge part of the offense in Morgan's scheme. I think he had more success in Alford's system and good for him because of that.
It was almost 4 years ago now that he left the team. Seriously, get over it people.

I don't know the kid personally, but from what I have seen on and off the court he does not have the same personality at all of Adam. Adam had no friends at ISU getting along with no one and really seemed to distance himself. Last year when watching Sean at the Capital City League he seemed much more social and was trying to get along with the current ISU players. But granted those included some that are now gone including CMAC, Jessan, Ross and Dodie who may be leaving also. Every kid is different and Adam's situation doesn't even relate. I am excited about Sean as I think he has a lot of talent and was surprised he didn't get a scholarship from Drake, UNI or any other lower level D1 schools!!!
Oh don't let this get under your skin... The nature of this site is to discuss Cyclone athletics and vent glee as well as frustrations. Most of the people don't know any of the athletes personally and stories can get twisted into National Enquirer proportions quickly.
Glad to see Sean is on board. Hope he has better hair then Adam.:wink0st:
"He's gone but he's not forgotten, Johnny Rotten, Johnny Rotten"....:wink0st:
Adam's situation is a little different than other high profile players who stiffed the ISU program (Raef Lafrentz, Kirk Hinrich, Glen Rice, etc.). #1) He actually played at ISU and left. #2) He left us for our hated cross-state arch-rivals. #3) He just finished his stellar career in 2006-07, so he's still fresh. #4) He stuck it to us pretty good in head-to-head games. #5) He was the type of player every program desires (entire player package plus academics) from a PR perspective. #6) We had to listen to our hawk brethren blather on that he left us for "the better program". I don't find it unusual at all that he's still a topic of conversation on Cyclone message boards! Analogy - He's the beautiful smart girl who broke your heart, dumped you and married a neanderthal you detested, and you'll always wonder what might have been... :laugh8kb:
Having said all this about Adam, I have no idea why it applies to his sibling who's walking on at ISU. If he's a player, I'm thrilled to death to have him and his surname means nothing to me!
I wish sean the best at isu. as far as adam, the isu program was in turmoil with the coach eustacey situation and a badly botched coaching search. as i recall adam didn't say anything negative publicly. i don't hold anything against adam and wish him nothing but good luck. as far as their dad, he was heated and not kind in some of his comments but he was being protective of his son also. sorry for the babbling, but life is to short hold something against someone for things that in the grand scheme of things mean absolutely nothing. welcome to isu sean!
If Sean plays with as much heart and all out effort that he showed in the Capital City league games last Summer, I'll take him in a heartbeat. He was scrapper who hustled his butt off and at times got rebounds away from guys a lot taller then him....He will make us better and I say Welcome to ISU
What is all this talk about his brother Adam????? Adam who??

It's time to grow up, people. And I'm not talking about the hate toward Adam - that's an entirely different topic.
I'm referring to these childish and vulgar terms I'm reading in this thread. Please knock it off.

OK, I'll bite........
I went back and re-read the whole thread and have seen maybe 1 word considered childish and/or vulgar and that would be the d-word up a few. What other terrible terms are you possilbly talking about?????
As I said before, it is a bit weird, mainly because it hurt us that his brother left and etc. On the other hand, it may help heal some of the hard feelings from Cyclone fans. I mean, Sean could have walked on at Iowa or somewhere else, but chose to come here, despite what might be some difficult feelings with the fan base. That shows some guts.
I hope he has a great career with us.

You're right if there is no way they'd go to that school otherwise. However, if he would consider ISU on its on, using the girlfriend as a deciding factor isn't a big deal. People use friends, location, campus, party school as factors in the college decision all the time. Its not like a beuatiful campus like ISU is going to make ISU a better place to learn. It would help the experience as a whole. I see no problem with the girlfriend being the deciding factor if he would consider the school anyway.
Has anyone ever watched him play down at Indian Hills? From what I've read down here in the Ottuwma Courier he seemed to have a pretty decent career but I don't know much.
Give this kid a break!!!
My brother and I are similar in some respects, but for the most part, are VERY different people. I would not want to be held responsible for his actions, why penalize this kid with his brother's history?
