Rahshon is cool...

Given all the recent player defections, supposedly because the big-city kids can't stand being in Ames, I have that much more respect for Rahshon for being willing to stick it out. I think that's a sign of a leader and a real mature person.

It will be great see how he develops as a player and leader under McDermott. I have a feeling we are in for a real treat having him around for two more years. I think he will also be glad when he hears his name called in the 1st Round of the draft.

I'm excited to see what RC is going to do this coming season. He by far is now the leader of the team even if Blalock does come back. He's been the face of optimism through all these changes as we already know that he was probably the most active player on the court last year. Hopefully that attitude rubs off on the new guys and we'll see one of the hardest working teams that hustles on every play. I don't know how many times I said "man I'm glad we have Clark" after he'd come out of no where for a tip-in or hustle for a loose ball or long rebound and make something happen. Little plays like that can be the difference between winning and losing sometimes.

here is the difference, I never said that you were stupid, just that your post was.You said these players came from winning programs, and their teams will miss them, in a post about taggs leaving. That clearly insinuates that taggs old team didn't do either of those, which they did. In addittion if you have never seen any of those players swear, then you must not watch any basketball. I know this for a fact, Johnny will never be invited to a team event, McD may have a heart attack. It is an emotional game, and when things happens a player swears. What I have come up with from the people on this board as to who we need to get as recruits now it is:
A) somkeone who really truelly wants to be a clone
B) don't have to be talented, just need to work hard
C) no swearing or you get the bench.
What that basically describes is the small portion of the menonite community that could be considered an Iowa State fan. Does anyone seriously think fizer dreamed of being a clone, or tinsley, or clark for that matter. They all came here for the coach people. If you got rid of everyone on the team who didn't come to the school to be a clone you would be left with ross, AT, and likely the walk-ons. And that would be considered a pretty good team in terms of what we are looking for. If Mcd is chewing out people for swearing, what will happen the first time he hears that 21+ year old players go to a bar? He mightrun them off too. We just got rid of the puritanical reign of BVD which put my contributions in the tank, and now we may have the same situation in the head bball coach? As much as I have always loved the clones, there is absolutly no way I would have played there with a coach telling me I can't swear in practice, because I have to image he has a list of rules as long as WB's arm. These guys are not children and should not be treated as such.

I am very excited to see Rashon play next season. I think he will flourish in a structured offense and be set up nicely for some mismatches. He will be an outstanding man-to-man defender and will be an All Big XII player newt season. I can't wait to see some of the dishes he is going to get from McIntosh.
