If they can get Thorpe or Wilson as a backup that would be a good addition. But I think their first priority seems to be the JUCO guard. And then it seems they want Juiston and a grad transfer big and I would guess a sit out transfer.

Very true. Different coaching staffs though. Prohm has suspended more players for disciplinary reasons in his 2 years here than Fred did in his 5.
i'll be surprised if we get a high level transfer. different times, different coaching staff now.
My top 2 wants are:
1. Shakur
2. The New Mexico kid
1. Shakur
2. The New Mexico kid
If he's as good as we think and we land Juiston we're a very good team imo.
We weren't ever the top dog in the transfer market. We thrived on discounted goods and unique situations.
A lot of the transfers will go to a program that the staff had recruited them out of HS or a coach on staff that they know. A major reason Hoiberg success with early transfers was Otz's Milwaukee connection. The staff has only been recruiting top level prep players to ISU for 2 years, and I am not sure how many of these potential players have that relationship. Those relationships are something that will improve going forward with time.
ISU is still associated with a program Transfers have success at. Holden, Bowie, and Kasongo had multiple P5 school offers and chose ISU. There is still potential to get some top guys with the playing time and ISU profile.
I wouldn't be surprised bc of playing time. A lot of transfers want to go where they see openings.
Yes this year is totally different than the last two as far as that goes
Isn't Caruso a 6'9" forward that can shoot 3Ps?
Haha, Wilson and Thorpe will be at starting P5s. We offer as easy of a path to starting minutes as any decent team
He is but Ivy Leage talent is not very good. Had a friend who played Ivy Leage ball and played high major schools in the non con and he always told me the talent disparity was night and day.
Take Leland King at Nevada for example. ISU looked at him when he left Brown. Averaged 11.5 ppg and 6 rpg there. At Nevada now and putting up 3.7 and 2.6.
There's definitely talent in the low major schools but for them to make the jump to a high major they need to be putting up crazy numbers for it to translate to being a serviceable player at their new school.
By my count Prohm suspended Carter for 3 games. McKay for 2 and Bowie and Cooke for 1 each.
Doing some research Fred suspended more players than I remember. Thomas. Nader. BDJ. Godfrey. Babb. Palo. Lamb
My mistake.
He's definitely a position of need for next season. Partner him with a scoring guard from the JUCO or grad transfer ranks, and we have a solid chance at getting back to the NCAA's for a 7th straight season.
The kid seems like someone you would want on your team. Seems to work his butt off and does a little bit of everything.
True, but 6'9" 240 shooting 3Ps transfers most everywhere. In terms of spacing those are the type of guys that have an impact past their numbers. Caruso also had good numbers against the bigger teams on the schedule
Caruso is the 6'4 guy. Brase is the 6'9" guy. After seeing how Ivy league guys have adjusted to bigger schools in recent years, I doubt either is an option for ISU. I suppose the could be like this guy who adjusted pretty well. Not Ivy, but similar level of competition.

Did Kane put up "crazy numbers" at Marshall? I think he did ok jumping up to the Big 12 level.
