I agree, except Prohm will not be on the hotseat, nor should he be. This was the most probable outcome as soon as Fred checked out in early spring, particularly when JP didn't go with the type(s) of hires that would in the short run could bring the players needed in such limited recruiting time.

It's not our defense. It's the offensive consistency.

Way too many of my fellow Cyclone Fanatics drinking the kool-aid. These players (notice I didn't say "team" because they play more like individuals) will maybe fight it's way to a 7-9 record, AT BEST, unfortunately.
Lack of size, selfishness all around, in particular with Burton who thinks he should be shooting 3's and driving to the basket rather than just focus on rebounding, learning not to miss bunnies and hustling back on defense, lack of consistency with the 3-point shooting (in particular, Thomas, who doesn't provide enough to even start these days) and simply not convinced that Prohm is the answer, especially with some of the experienced coaches in this conference.
This is going to be a very frustrating season and BURTON is going to lead the pack in that category!!!

I'll go with 6 at this point.
I thought of today as a good indicator to find out where they're at, and unless something changes big time, if a team like Texas Tech is this much more talented than ISU, which it appears they are, we're looking at 6ish wins.
Too bad....was thinking it might be different.

We're going to stink so bad that we don't even get to play 2 games? Talk about overreacting.

7, if we can keep seniors to a minimal role.

Hopefully Burton never plays that poorly again and Young rapidly develops. An improved Young alongside a Burton somewhat near Gonzaga like would be an optimistic hope.
Add in more time for NWB and Jackson and less time with a three guard backcourt of Thomas, Naz, and Morris. Also, imo Bowie could be a little of what we hoped Burton could be.

Not trying to call Erik out intentionally, but I love these emotional overreaction posts.
