***Official 2024 Transfer Thread***

Where there's smoke, there's probably fire. I'm guessing that's why they're moving so hard on interior players.

IDK if they knew anything or not, but when listening to the podcast, I got the feeling in February that Omaha was pretty much done, as far as any significant role at Iowa State. Zero enthusiasm about him--only that he "couldn't crack the lineup".

It wouldn't surprise me at all if he left, but it would hurt a bit that it didn't work out . So much physical talent!

Side note, one could infer that maybe Rock is working hard during his redshirt season, and if he can play with that frame. . . hoooooo boy.

If Omaha improves his game like Tamin improved his shooting this year he could see the floor. But that's a lot of work over the summer. Guess we will see!

For the second time I've seen on a west virgina web site that Omaha is hitting the road to Country Roads. Will see

I have heard, fourth hand, something other than this. They may be right, but not sure I’d trust WVU websites quite yet.

Would be interesting if Payton Sandfort (Waukee native) followed as well. Cupboard beyond bare in Iowa City he would be smart to get out. Devries, Sandfort and Omaha alone would be a solid core.

Well, I hope he stays and realizes his potential. Rock/Jackson/Omaha could be an *insane* group.

They are talking about Sandfort a lot too, again probably baselessy based on the Waukee connection. You need a lot of talent to surround that 3 with. If more than one of those guys is in their top 3 players they would be near the bottom of the Big XII.

That is also mentioned.The Waukee reunion.

My guess is they're finding players who went to high school with the big transfer they just got and fantasizing.

 

[cyfan92]

I hope Omaha stays and makes a jump like Lipsey did

Devries and Sandfort are both really high level P6 players. Devries is first team all Big 12 level good. Sandfort put up 16.4 ppg last year.

DeVries is a good coach, but I think untested with developing bigs. Otz has shown he can develop them. You never know how it ends up, but it'd be a bit puzzling if that's the move.

Cards were stacked against Omaha. Rather than being here this summer he was playing on all-star teams. Reports were he lacked offense. I remember watching him in the state tournament seeing he didn't handle passes cleanly. Didn't think it would be an issue but it has been. Until he got here I'm not sure our coaches new how much work is ahead of him. It's entirely possible Biliew gets recruited over this transfer season. I hope we add a 4/5 as insurance instead of blocking either JT or Omaha. That way whichever is best prepared next fall will be in the rotation.

They need to send Omaha to spring football practice and make him snag footballs out of a pitching machine. Even do the one hand drills. His hands need a lot of work.

He seemed to have trouble staying on his feet too. He was on the floor a lot (in situations where you don't want to be on the floor).

I mean their defense would be pretty bad if those three are on the court as starters.

Defensively though woof. Now maybe they can somehow show something defensively none of them have shown, but that would be tough.

Devries is good. 16.4 points in the the up and down no defense Hawk system is about 12 or 13 in any other system.

You, me and apparently TJ. Anyone else with us?

He's a " 3 and NO d guard" ( in more ways than one).
