What were Babb's sophomore numbers?
Is he better than the kid from WDM that plays there?
Chris put up 9.2 ppg 3.2 rpg 2.2 apg in 29.7 minutes per game as a Sophomore at Penn State.
Michael Jacobson is the WDM kid on Nebraska.
Jacobson is 6-9 235 compared to Horne at 6-7 222
Jacobson put up 4.7 ppg and 4.3 rpg as a freshman in 18.3 minutes and 6.0 and 6.2 in 24 mpg this year. Nearly identical per 40 numbers.
Thank you!
A lot easier decision with another year of play. Sounds like they're significantly different players. I watched a interview/highlight video from this fall that made Horne sound like more a mismatch/tweener type.
Horne' final 6 out of high school was Nebraska, DePaul, Kansas State, Iowa State, Wichita State and Pepperdine.
Linked is a his HS evaluation sounds like a stretch 4. I'd say he'd be worth a call from the staff to see if there is interest.

Nothing is really tickling my fancy so far. Horne maybe but whatevz.
Very early in transfer season. Should pick up in next few weeks. Only guy i've seen so far that I hope staff takes a real look at would be Geno Thorpe

Agree to an extent. I think the 3 remaining scholarships should be used on players that will be eligible for the 2017-18 season. If/When a player leaves ISU this offseason, I wouldn't mind using that scholarship on a sit out transfer or banking it for a mid year.
I doubt Prohm is going to fill all three scholarships with impact JC or grad transfers, and that is if there isn't any unforeseen roster turnover with the non-seniors.
I actually think it is a good thing to have a sit out transfer or two to give the team a P5 players to practice against and learn the system filling the 11 and 12 roster spots most years.
One post likely Juiston and or Lake to come in for major minutes is a major need. The other two should be filled by the highest ceiling players available be it prep, JuCo, sit out or grad transfer. I'll trust the staff to figure that out.
We need a good amount of help. It's a challenge but filing those holes is what Prohm gets paid to do. If he can't, like last spring, he won't continue to be successful. Not all can contribute, but we already have a few guys that fill those "roles".
If Coach is as good as I think he is, we'll fill the three open ones with players good enough to help next year.
Two impact front court guys and a big scoring impact guard plus a sit out guy is my hopes
This is assuming that the staff is looking to fill 3 spots. With the legacy graduations Seniors ISU is loosing fans from the outside can assume there are minutes readily available but Prohm has watched and developed the roster through out the year. He may feel Lard, Kosongo, Carter, along with Young are ready to contribute major minutes next year. Also the late surge of Weller-Babb, Jackson possible development of Long and add in Wigginton, McNeil, and Lewis may have lessened the need for a guard addition.
Fact is Prohm is the only one who know how he'd like to distribute minutes next year and we shouldn't assume that there are 3 "holes" that need to be filled. JuCo's and Grad transfers will expect/demand playing time and could create issues if they aren't better than what is on the roster. I want the open scholarships to be used for the best players not just to fill minutes.
I'm really waiting for things to actually heat up on the transfer market as pickings really seem slim so far, and it almost seems like Cyclone fans sometimes think we almost get first pick of everything, which is increasingly becoming less and less true. For whatever there ends up being, we'll have a lot of competition. Therefore, I'm hoping there is a LOT more transfers to come online soon.
Maybe he's getting a medical rs for Stu, too.
You don't avoid filling needs based on potential hurt feelings
Well since it has been confirmed they would like to add an experienced guard and a couple JUCO or Grad transfer bigs I am assuming the coaching staff sees holes they need to fill.
April is the biggest month for transfers from what I can recall. Too many teams are still playing at this point to recruit transfers, so there's no point in announcing until there are some teams able to bring you in for a visit.
Will be really interesting to see who the staff goes after in the transfer market. By the time our season is over (assuming we make it to the second weekend), the transfer market will be in full throttle and there will be lots of competition for top dogs in the market. I'm anxious to see if we go after some of the most sought after transfers, because if we are going after the Holden and Bowie types again that will not be encouraging as we need guys that can make a major impact.
Link?
I believe Prohm said he'd like a JuCo/Grad transfer front court player and shooter if available. The third scholarship would be used for best available prep/transfer (Yenta? who likely would RS or not contribute much as a freshman).
If the staff can find 3 players to add to next years rotation and get them to commit it would be great. I'm just cautioning that we shouldn't expect that or see it as a failure by Prohm because he may feel the current players are ready to step up or are better than the available options. Actually I would feel better about the future of the team if that was the case.
