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.

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 ?
Floyd knew Fizer before he was a prospect. That’s how he landed him.

we aren't ready for how good we're going to be

Next year we bring in Milan and Omaha, who are game changers, and Hamilton and Fish who are program builders (like Lipsey and Watson this year are)

We are in the top 15 this year, and this team will be nowhere near Otz’s best. His recruiting is insane!

Yessir. Pre-existing friendship with his mother pr something along those lines if I remember correctly. Long before Timmy was slipping cash envelopes

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.
Could be 2021 football season hype. Hopefully different result. That was brutal. Don’t want

Hope with all the talent coming in, that they also have the defensive prowess and work ethic of Gabe and Grill, among others. Who da thunk after last year we'd be talking about these two like we are and witnessing their offense especially. Lipsey is already in that mold. Will be interesting if higher ranked guys keep the level head like these guys. NBA will come soon enough. We will need another transfer guard for next season in the Gabe/Holmes mode. Or do we need to replace with an OSUN type? Maybe both?

TJ still got some work to do in the portal. Center has to be #1 priority. As long as I'm asking, TJ can you get a 2 year guy to pair with Rock the following as well.
