He'll be a 2x CPOY I'd say that's a pretty good indication.
Sure, its information, but the big 12 is a much more physical athletic league. Curious how he would do playing against the likes Texas Tech / Baylor / KU. Was Clayton Custer CPOY in the valley?

Custer was in the big xii as a freshman then went to the valley. Green would be a 5th year guy.

If you watch Drake at all you'd see multiple guys that would of been upgrade to our current starters.

Why, because some of our starters wouldn't start on a good valley team?
Well, either Devries is horrible because he's got a bunch of Big 12 level starters and won't sniff the tourney, or TJ is unbelievable because he's got a bunch of guys that wouldn't start on a Valley team that are a lock for the tourney.

Update on James Graham III. Sounds like ISU is making an early impression (perhaps leader?).
Interesting quote on that ISU is looking to be active in getting scoring. (obvious but still notable)

Devries has a 700 winning percentage at Drake. TJ has done something none of us thought possible with one stud, an elite recruit and a bunch of roll players.

Of the other 3 starters Kunc is closest to Big XII level starter but he still isn't.

Murphy
Devries
Brockington
Wilkins
Hunter

Would be the strongest starting 5 and
Penn, Hemphill and Brodie would round out the rotation.

Okay, so which is it? Devries is horrible or TJ is amazing?

Who do you consider Big XII quality starters on our current roster?
Why are you moving the goalposts? You're saying that Drake has better talent than Iowa State. One team has to win the conference tourney to be a 14 seed in the tourney, the other is a lock for the tourney. Must be coaching?

Because you're jumping to conclusions I never agreed with.

Do you think Kalscheur is better than Wilkins?

Kunc better than Devries or Hemphill?

Conditt or Jones better than Brodie or Murphy?

Grill or Walker better than Penn?

WTF? YOU are saying that Drake has better talent. So the conclusion has to be one of three things. A) Devries has done a poor coaching job B) TJ has done an amazing job C) Drake doesn't actually have better talent. Which one is it?

A) Why has Devries done such a poor job? He has a 700 winning percentage?

B) TJ worked a miracle this year.

C) Brockington and Hunter would be the best two players on the floor, after that Drake has better talent.

A) 700 winning percentage in the Valley with better talent than a Big 12 team does not impress me...
