People have been saying this about the PG recruiting but it makes no sense because Prohm found out about everything a few days ago. It's more preparing for Monte possibly going pro and the fact that he is and was the only true PG on the roster.
Noskowiak not returning to Iowa St
- Thread starter baagoe
- Start date
Not to add to much nostalgia to Fred, but let's remember...
McD's last team
1 Garrett (went on to play some NBA ball)
2 Christopherson (the best 3% all-time at ISU)
3 Gilstrap (conference newcomer of the year)
4 Brackins (1st round draft pick)
5 Hamilton (drafted, played in the NBA for 2-3 years)
+ Dendy, Staiger (a jerk but a good shooter), Colvin (a 4* point guard)
The result? Overall: 15-17, .469 W-L% (224th of 334)
Fred's first team was the scraps of that team
Garrett, Christopherson were back (the "worst" 2 of the 5 starters above at the time)
Add in Uncle Jake (underrated transfer), JVB (a shooter in a big man's body), true freshmen Ejim and Godfrey, and walk-on Bubu to spell Diante
Fred's first team had less talent than any McD team. And he still did more with it.
Overall: 16-16, .500 W-L% (190th of 345)
= Fred Hoiberg... pretty good at this basketball coaching thing...
Not saying Prohm doesn't have his own pedigree or chance for success, but Fred took the worst 2/5 starters and some bench scraps from McD and made a team that was, not only better, but a MILLION times more fun to watch.
Right now, we could trot out something like this for next year...
Morris
Cooke
Thomas
Burton
Carter
(heck, we might see that line-up, or a version of it with Niang or McKay, this year)
= still needs some size and experience, but it is *well* on its way compared to the ashes of the end of the McDoorknob era
spot on post. team needs no distractions during the year. And yes the NBA talk has put us in tough spot after this season. But lots of quality kids looking ISU, and we will have lots of playing time
Yikes.....I was reading your signature with the hoiballin33 quote........and I thought I was having a stroke or something!
So he never used the scholarship/took a class when he was Ames? When do scholarships renew each year?

About
“Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?†is an incoherent question which is often quoted on image boards, discussions forums and comment sections across the web.

The question first appeared in a thread on the /v/ (video games) board on 4chan about an upcoming Wii game The Conduit on February 12th, 2009. The original post featured a link to a YouTube video of someone playing the beta version of the game, accompanied by list of notable features. An anonymous user responded to the post asking “Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?†(shown below). Several users attempted to decipher the question, speculating that it was asking if a video game company had ever gone to such great lengths to make a game appear realistic.

If NN was not enrolled during the Summer Sessions, as is usual for basketball and football signees, even women's teams, then something was amiss from the beginning for ISU. Good that it is resolved now, before Fall classes begin. There are problems all over the collegiate athletic landscape. ISU isn't immune. Carter fell into a place. There will be numerous opportunities to fill that scholarship with a quality signee. ISU basketball is just fine, in fact, it's doing great.
I was for bringing him back until the Baylor stuff broke yesterday. It's not really a comparable situation but you can't bring a potentially violent person on campus. Best of luck to nick though and I hope he can find some stability.
Yikes....and of the 9, that includes two guys coming off injury? (Long and Ernst) Not good. Don't even like that we only have 10 when Burton is back. So, Babb, (GT's and NN's now vacant ones) are the other 3, right? We could have filled NN's now open schollie as late as July, as there seemed to be several transfer guards out there transferring late. If only the staff would have known that NN wasn't going to work out, but that's hindsight. Of course everyone has jumped on the bandwagon when hoping that the kid get's his life back on track and that basketball is secondary. I hope he can too. But there's no denying the chance TJ took on him has backfired. Unfortunate.
Agree. Which many on here have been bashed for saying four months ago. Look, we all have confidence in our new staff, and people prefer to look at glasses half full, not half empty. But sorry I can't buy the line some are selling that this program is in 'great shape'. More like hopeful to build it back to the point where we can say that. We don't even know the impact of Cooke, Burton yet, on a big 12 stage, muchless Babb, Ernst, Carter. In other words, I don't think any of us can claim what the program will be in 2016-17 until we start getting some commits from recruits. Btw, why did we go from being led to believe that we were in great shape with Xavier Simpson, and now CW is stating not-so-much. What changed??
It's not the best situation long term.
However the # of coaches that will be able to hit the ground running with a roster like we have at ISU is extremely small.
It's not ideal but it's a heck of a lot better than any ISU coach has ever inherited.
