Does it really matter?
West Virginia is going to a Top 3 squad in the Big 12 next year. Culver plus a 5 star Freshmen in the post. McCabe and Haley in the backcourt. This kid can score and if the get Tucker (UALR grad transfer) then they would be a Top 10-15 program by year’s end.
Yes - they are going to be very good. They were decent at year end. Somebody posted recently that they would be 10th. No way. they would not be 10th even without these recent adds. Culver is really good, and so is their freshman big coming in. Just need a little guard help to be upper division, looks like they got it.

Not sure what his eligibility would be
I read awhile back their 5 star big was listed in a story on the most overrated players in the 2019 class. Rim protecting rebounder who's range is dunk.
That kind of guy fits in well with what West Virginia does though.
Knapper and Mathews were okay freshmen too. Imagine if West, Bolden, Harris, and Konate were staying.
Rayjon Tucker visiting ISU May 11-12

If a freshman big man gives you that, then he is a very good freshman big man.
Is it bad I almost want this guy as badly to shut up the harpy haters on here as I do fr the sake of the program? I know Tucker is obviously in huge demand, but this is an encouraging sign. This guy could probably be our leading scorer next season (if in Ames).
Very nice. Some very good competition but getting one of Tuckers 5 visits is huge (obviously) and could really help replace NWB and Lindell's minutes. It would also allow Haliburton to keep his current roll off the ball and take over back up PG duties. I think Tyrese will be very good playing point but I would would like to see him get eased into B12 PG duties.
Why is it a "big assumption" to view Solomon Young as a quality Big12 starter. He started 38 games during his freshman & sophomore years. As a soph, he averaged 7.2 pts & 5.9 rpg in Big12 play. I expect him to be a 11ppg/8rpg player next year. As a 5th option on offense- he's very solid and will give us a physical rebounder/defender.
IMO there is no guarantee Young starts, I expect to see significant improvement by Conditt by next November.
If prohm sticks to smallball dominant minutes, than i assume the job of center would be Jacobson's to loose. Starting Young and Jacobson migjt be interesting, but doesn't sound like prohm's first preference. If Jacobson were to slim down, speed up, gain some handles and a 37% 3 shot, sure. Than i think so.
