I remember at the end of the CPR years and how much more talented even average teams looked in their ability to function.
In 2017-18 the 'there's talent there, they're just young' worked and it even showed in some really nice wins, but the last two seasons it's really not the case.
I honestly didn’t know if only seniors got that or if it trickled all the way down
When you take out KSU and ISU, the Big 12 is pretty solid.

Gonna be tough to get folks with a future to a program swirling the drain.
Take out Niang and other NBA guys 2 prime years, we have 3 sharty years outta 4. And we underachieved their prime years as it was.
You can acknowledge the significance and still not like Prohm. They aren't mutually exclusive.
While I understand the economics of this situation, I think we're on the cusp of completely nuking Iowa State basketball into oblivion. See Nebraska football. Pollard needs to do something. We've got the blind leading the blind right now. It was a horrible mistake to give Prohm an extension based on a tournament championship. Those are fun, but really no one outside of Iowa cares. We need to find someone with ties to ISU who has a basketball mind to try and get this thing out of the gutter. Someone who has an offensive and defensive philosophy, a recruiting strategy and a 5 year plan to get back to where we were - then build from there.
I seem to recall a 7' Center, who played for Johnny, right at the start of Johnny's 'Hilton Magic', who might fit your job description
To me this time around you need a person who has built a program (preferably two programs) at a lower level. This is no longer a “maintain” situation this will be a full rebuild.
That list will look like this:
Joe Golding, Abilene Christian
Ryan Odom, UMBC
Scott Nagy, Wright State
Darian DeVries, Drake
Brian Wardle, Bradley,
Niko Medved, Colorado State
TJ Oztelberger, UNLV
Craig Smith, Utah State

I'd much prefer to stay away from mid-major coaches at all cost. Get me someone with experience as an assistant at the major CBB level.
No way. You can’t afford to have a guy with no head coaching experience. It literally looks just like what we currently have. This list is full of great X and O coaches. They have taken teams that were single win squads and turned the programs around. In the case of Smith, Medved, Wardle and Nagy they have done it at multiple schools.
Yeah I think we've entered into how important it is to manage egos in the P6 area unless the mid-major type had lots of experience there prior or something.
You don't need someone with head coaching experience. Prohm had that. And Medved? He would be in over his head.
