This dude would, without question, help ISU but he's not a replacement for Ward. Two different skillsets, IMO.

That's great but you can sell positionless BB all you want but asking a 6"8 wing to defend the 5 isn't a recruiting recipe for success. He's already thinking how he best fits an NBA roster and your ask would 180 from that.
Maybe he's a 3/4 type for US you pair with Momcilovic (both getting around 30 minutes) drastically cutting minutes available to our in-house PF candidates. Before you add a guy that is going to cut into those players minutes you have to be sure he's an upgrade.
Tre King replacement, possibly with upgrade shooting.
I do like this get, add the Okie State center Garrison and we could be scary good.
Lipsey Gilbert and Jones play strictly 1/2 minutes and put them on a quick sub rotation to bring our pressure to an even higher level.
Momcilovic and Okani logging around 25 minutes each leaving 30 minutes for our 3 PF candidates.
Garrison gets around 25 minutes Rock 15. Maybe Rock surprises and carves out more?
Indrusaitis is the out of rotation guard option. Biliew or Fish emergency Center. Indrusaitis and Watson could fill in for the wings when needed. Not necessarily all rotation but it would give 11 guys plausible paths to minutes.
You're right, Garrison would be great. He's going to Kansas or SEC, though. McDonald's AA that had a good freshman year. I'd love to be proven wrong but this is punching above our weight in the transfer portal.
Omaha Biliew is NOT sticking around to be an "emergency center". I think everyone needs to understand that. Either TJ thinks he will be ready to be a MAJOR contributor next season or a hard conversation will need to be had between TJ and Omaha in a few weeks.
I'm curious as heck when it comes to the portal opening so soon. Here comes the wild wild west NIL player hunting.
1. What was the thinking behind opening it up so soon this year?
2. We have a huge next 2 weeks, need focus. lot to play for yet.....but do we have SOMEONE on our staff that you think is already working on this behind the scenes, not falling behind?
3. Do you think we have to use NIL money just to KEEP people from coming after MILAN and of course any others?? Hope they're committed, but I get that there are those bench guys that will want more playing time.
4. Another Hassan would be huge. And another Tre King warrior. Oh for Pete's sake, I want another of all of them. LOL
Would love to see a pure athlete like this paired with a 6'10" type pure scorer that we can throw the ball to on the block. 6'10" Georges Niang available out there?
Good for him. He’ll land high major
Darn good thing, then, JT enrolled early and has had this year to practice (and eat!) and learn under the tutelage of the Big 3. Such a different possibility if JT was still in high school right now.
You referred to Omaha Biliew as an emergency center and in the same breath ridicule people for wanting to slide recruits "out of position". Omaha Biliew has zero desire to play center in the NBA buddy.
If Omaha Biliew isnt a lock in an 8 man rotation he will not be in an Iowa State uniform next year. I truly hope he is back. I think he can make a major leap.
I can't fix your inability to read very short paragraphs.
At 3/4 Momcilovic 25, potential 6'8 transfer wing 25 minutes 30 minutes left for our 3 in-house PF options. Before you get critical take the time to read the WHOLE POST! BILIEW IS ONE OF THE THREE IN HOUSE PF OPTIONS.
Biliew and Fish would be the emergency 5s just like King and Biliew were this year.
