Hope your right, I would personally let him walk if his NIL deal is as high as I have heard. Find a defensive oriented athletic big in portal.

Sometimes the truth hurts, but must be said. These guys are now professional athletes getting paid very well to perform. It goes with the territory when you are making more than most of the people sitting in the stands. It's easy to say we had a good season, but like any fanbase we wanted and expected more, than a 20-2 run and shooting the ball like we did tonight for the first 35 minutes of the game.
Our defense early in the season was predicated on Tamin and Keshon pressuring our opponents guards. And when they that did our defense was good.
our team is just built differently and with less money. We had a good thing going before all the injuries.
This. KG (and a healthy Tamin) are what made ISU defense so formidable in the first half of the season. If they are both available and 100%, this game would have been a lot closer.
Going forward, the team probably needs 1-2 more fast, physical perimeter defenders than they had this season just to provide the depth TJ's style demands.
Next year really important, we have one guy now getting minutes that will be here in 26. we don’t have a real 3 point threat at all right now coming back. Still have some key pieces. Curt is a huge loss, by far our best scoring threat.
So how do you find two guys to replace KG and Curt? Not easy, those guys cost too much.
I think teams figured out how to neutralize ISU's bigs and that hurt the arc even more.
Good idea. I just started an OnlyFans, all proceeds go to WeWill
I get the injury justification for our defense this year. But I'm not convinced that's the main reason. Feel our top 8 wasn't 100% committed to the level of effort (and/or ability) required to be an elite defense. In prior years, if our offense stunk in a game, our defense would lock-down and we might win 60-55.
This season was more about winning with offense and it wasn't enough when guys didn't hit jump shots. We didn't have many tough losses in Big12 & Tournament play. When we lost, we lost ugly.
If you're making 6 figures in college life is pretty comfortable.
This statement probably didn't need to be made but I'm not deleting it.
I believe the guys are taking this loss worse than we are but some of us have watched ISU sports for a long time.
Curtis Jones was a great f-king Cyclone. Period.
It's worked for TJ too. Many ignore the fact TJ has already done a lot of unprecedented things at ISU in 4 years because we haven't made the final four yet. I'm not sure what has gotten us so spoiled before we've ever arrived.
Another season has come to a close and with that my end of season thanks.

A few regulars who whether it was a winner rating @GTO or mention every week or almost every week I'd like to shout out @t-noah @NWICY @danvillecyclone @Bestaluckcy @JEFF420 @NENick @67CY @Jdk @Texbudman @Hump4cy @cymac2408 @RagingCloner @Flynn4Heisman
This season occurred during a tough and trying time in my life and when I feel like passing on the gameday duties to others the support you and others not mentioned bring to every gameday thread gives me gusto to continue on. Luckily FB season begins early so offseason will be somewhat shorter.

I'm guessing it's like my OF where people pay you to put your clothes BACK on?
