I think when I view this question I view it as player "at their peak when at ISU". Rob had a better floor but you could start to see it really pop for Ward towards the end of his career here.
Really hard to argue with that first team when considering each players best full year but Gilbert 2024 non-con (pre injury) was the best player under TJ, All-American level.
It's a really tough call, but Gabe was really a tone setter for the new program. Really hard to leave him off the list.
Hunter had some great games but he also had some real clunkers. At his best, he might make my second team but he was too inconsistent to count on his freshman year here. I was more disappointed in how good I thought he would become when he left and he never did reach what I expected.
On his good offensive days. He had one of the inconsistent shots I’ve ever seen. Defense rarely wavered.
I think you’ve nailed it for what I would have picked.
Production wise, no. Unfortunately he was injured most of his time here so we never got to see him at his best.
Brockington. Great player, but Kalscheur never took a day or play off on defense. That's what Otzelbergerball is all about. Gabe set the tone on defense.
