Omaha Biliew is a McDonald's All-American

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

Tj has definitely increased the talent level but you have to also remember they are true freshman. We have been used to 4th and 5th year guys in the program so far who have a ton of experience but maybe weren't as highly rated.

The key will be to still get experienced transfers while keeping the core guys here for 3-4 years.
All you have to do is look at some of the Freshman around the country that were in the game last year. KU has a couple of them that barely play.
Lively on Duke doesn’t look ver good etc.

Knew he was going to be a bust. WTF, only McDonalds All American? TJ needs to be fired if he isn’t going after Culver’s All Americans by year two.
Need to land some butter burger boys!

Insightful! He isn’t a prospect that typically makes the game. Granted there are sometimes one or two outside of the top but you are kidding yourself if you think his name didn’t play a huge role in him getting it over more highly rated guys.

He's got a higher rating than the Okie St and a Kentucky guy

As ISU fans we should know ratings don’t always pan out. You are kidding yourself if you don’t think kids like Arch Manning and Bronny would be rated MUCH lower if their parents weren’t who they are. Bronny is a very good HS player, but nothing I have seen screams can’t miss prospect.

If anyone wants to watch our McD’s AA in action, he’ll be on here around 7:45 tonight against #7 Centennial. It was a close one last time

Is this the Cyclones first McDonalds All American in regards to recruited out of high school with a current sitting coach? My point being when Floyd took the job here, didn’t he already have Fizers commitment ?
