After seeing him play at ISU, I could never figure out how he was a 5 star. Really good athlete, but not an elite athlete, and had limited skills. He looked like a high 3 star player only because of his athletic ability. His skill set was lower three star and his career has proven that.
Biliew was a crazy bust tbh, clearly very athletic but nothing translated to the next level. Wonder how he’d look at in MVC or a lesser conference, also kinda crazy this is his senior year
He was a serviceable Big Xll backup PG. I think he can be a quality rotation piece.
He had a productive season finally in the ACC. I’m guessing he thinks he can move up but will most likely take the biggest paycheck. Can’t blame him. He’s international bound so he could use a nest egg.
I remember that volleyball player from Johnston throw his jumper in the lane into the backcourt at the state tournament.
Why not come back to ISU? Concentrate on rebounding and defense?
Doubt he wants to play 5-10 mpg his final year
I bet it's either uni or San Diego. I imagine it's really helpful as a new coach to have at least one guy who knows exactly how things are done in your program.
Yeah with Tamin and Jefferson done, I would have loved to keep him here just for that reason. But can't blame him for wanting to transfer either.
Maybe not. But if he dedicated himself to rebounding and defense, he's athletic enough to play more than that. No idea how big he is now though. He has enough offensive ability to be dangerous if he is the 5th scoring option on the floor.
He's just not very good at rebounding or defense for a guy who has played 3 seasons. His rebounding rates were lower than any player in our rotation and fouls nonstop. There are better fits for him to play and better fits for Iowa State
I'd rather get Hamilton, Rock, or Pav back before Omaha. Unlikely any are on TJ's list.
I bet Greene would love to have him because he's gonna come in and know exactly what's expected because I expect Greene to run his team like TJ
I don't know either of these people but it sounds like it might be an intersting story?
