If nothin else, him sitting out a year gives the team a big body on the scout team to help deal with the Embiids of the world.
Potential Transfers '14
- Thread starter LLCoolCY
- Start date
He only played 15 minutes a game. I think he has great stats for a role player off the bench. Wouldn't play much here until his junior year, probably. But still…wouldn't be a bad get.
Laughing pretty hard at this Gesell talk. The only people that should want him to transfer and come to Iowa State are Iowa fans. Everyone makes fun of how Iowa can't finish, and he's 90% of the reason for that. Multiple times this year he could've clinched a win for Iowa by making his free throws, and he missed every time there was pressure.
Looking at some high school highlights of Thompson, he doesn't have an offensive game outside of the paint. The highlights didn't show much for defense either. He would have a year to work on his shot and strength. It goes without saying, if Fred wants him, I want him.
Not saying I want the kid, but some times having a coach that will give you confidence and not strangle you when you screw up does millions for your confidence.
Agreed. I doubt that Naz and Thomas would have snapped back from cold streaks if they had Fran there to jump down their throats after a bad game or 2.
According to Goodman this Thompson might get a look from Kansas or Ohio State. Maybe he's better then stats show, IDK. Seems weird that a 7 foot starter only averaging 5 points and 4 rebound would get that type of attention.

Last year alone, Zeller and Oladipo were top 10 picks, and Vonleh will likely be one this year.
Now I would say none of them were transfers.
Why are you arguing about this? You're not a recruiting guru, or expert, I'm guessing you've seen very little of Clayton Custer in action.
So what do you have against Custer? I think he'll be just fine.
I guess I haven't noticed before, but he seems to be a bit of a knowitall/jerk.
