Mason Williams commits to ISU

Don’t be a jerk. Not true at all. The kid has already sacrificed a lot to be in Ames.
Many things can be true at once. Iowa State fans shouldn't be jerks here. Let's be supportive of Williams and send all the positive vibes possible that he can make a full recovery and be the player this staff believes he can be (and prove the reason why they targeted him so early in the Portal - the potential is there). There have been sacrifices all around in this situation, a situation that nobody (on any side) wants to be in, particularly in this NIL era where decisions are tough and there are real $$ that matter to CBB teams.
 
lol we will not see this guy play in an Iowa state uniform. With the transfer portal these days why on earth would we take a transfer who needs hip surgery? Most Iowa State thing ever.

I like it! Without saying it, you're saying your judgment is better than that of ISU coaches. Right? If not, explain why your judgment is superior to that of theirs.

If you were us, how could you possibly believe your opinion could have relevance here? So, that leaves we here to wonder about your motivation. Care to explain your position?
 
Depth could be a concern come February-March again with the news Williams is out. We will have injuries every season based on the defensive intensity the team is required to play with. I don’t think Pleta is on campus either so we will need Batemon and Toure to be ahead at the guard position.

It’s been known for months he would be out for the year, that’s why they brought in Nelson after the injury. It just resurfaced today because of the surgery announcement.

Well that is not the answer Mason gave when asked directly about his injury status on another premium site. I will leave it at that.
 
Underrated that if he plays two years here he'll be a fifth year senior. Smart to find old guys after the covid exception ends.

I'm fine with it. ISU has made serious hay with guys that have sat a year. It's just an investment for the following two years IMO.

ummm... okay?? interesting take for sure. not sure how you took my statement as a shot on the kid? it was the complete opposite of that.... I think he's smart.

And to add to that.... I didn't say he'll never play here... I hope he does... he looks like a good player. I'm just saying us Cyclone fans have been down this road before... and many times the kid never plays a single minute for us. and not always the kid's choice either I'm sure.
 
Free surgery courtesy of Iowa State…. then probably never play here.
