Interesting you didn't highlight the word "probably" in my sentence. In my mind... "probably" means greater than a 50% chance. Is that the same thing as saying "he will never play here"?? Hmmm??

no.... depends on what your definition of "probably" is. I don't consider that meaning something is going to happen for sure.
It's just a fact that if a player doesn't make an impact in year 1 they likely aren't around for year 2, no matter why they aren't playing in year 1.
I'm hoping that with the end of the COVID era and with (hopefully) some moderation in NIL that will change.

How many schools play every scholarship player? There’s no enough minutes for everyone every year. Nothing wrong with having guys develop, even if they end up dropping down a level later. Still need body’s.
The only recent examples of a transfer sitting out and leaving before ever playing are Blake Hinson and Jeremiah Williams. One of those was a pre-Otz transfer who clearly didn't fit with Otz's style and the other was caught up in the gambling investigation--it's not exactly a trend.
If you want to group freshmen in with that, I suppose that's your right and the group becomes larger. But then you might as well just stop paying attention to college basketball because it's just going to make you angry.
Lol, didn't fit in with the style of averaging 50 points per game.
That's one way to look at it.
A different way would be that he didn't fit in with the culture that led to a Sweet 16 in year #1.
We don't know it was a bad culture fit. From what I heard he wasn't good enough on defense, but then transferred and was an All-ACC player.
Join the premium forum where this type of thing is discussed by people who know.
Being an All-ACC player doesn’t make you a great defender all the sudden, not every player fits every system. Hell being let go from Iowa State likely was what caused him to pull it together and put in more effort.
What was it Johnny said about somebody back in the day...?
"He's second in the country in scoring? That's great. Too bad the guy he's guarding is first."
Someone once said they would eat human feces if Cam Lard ever played a minute in a cyclone uniform.
Only a question for the premium board….evidently.
There is enlightening information about this situation back there.
But information that was VERY specifically asked not to leave those confines.
TJ and this staff tends to be about ten steps ahead and given the landscape of men's college basketball and college sports generally right now are pretty much maxing out on what Iowa State can do.
No thanks, I don't care enough about the situation to pay for it. It's more out of summer boredom.
"I'm not informed and know I'm not informed.
I'm not going to pay the money/time to become informed.
But I'm gonna run my mouth anyways."
I know you love to argue with other posters out of ignorance, but I promise you'll find new things to argue about once informed.
Relax, some of you guys take this way too seriously. I thought you put me on ignore anyways? This is the first time you've responded to anything I've posted in like 2 years.
Lol, this is very junior high and borderline creepy. I guess it's highly classified.
That was about why an injured Gilbert couldn’t travel with his team to the tourney….
