RECRUITING: Jaren Holmes commits to Iowa State

[CoKane]

Will be interesting to see the final scholarship holders and where this roster shakes out. A lot of potential for diamonds in the rough with what we're seeing now for somewhat ideal projections.

AJ Green and Manny Bates

If we get more than 2 wins next year I’m happy

In the tournament.

Not impressed. Should fit in. Can’t shoot.

He can shoot. He's put up some big scoring numbers on occasion, and 14 per game is not too shabby either.

The thing you have to remember about him is he averaged 38 minutes per game. Some games he played all 40. That definitely will affect a guys shooting % in a bad way.

Between Holmes, Williams, Kalscheur, Grill, Lipsey, and E. King, next year’s backcourt is sneaky good! Get Green and it’s the best in school history for sure.

Haha what?

 

[Hayes30]

If Green is a Cyclone, you have 5 guys that averaged double digits in a season and two top 150 recruits. Depth wise, absolutely the best in school history.

Bro how old are you?

It also inflates the stats, that you just referenced

I'll have to take a wait and see approach with these transfers. They are all mid-major guys, last year IB and Gabe were already proven high major starters.

We might take a significant step back next year losing Hunter and IB

If green comes, he and Holmes for sure and probably Williams are better ayers than hunter right now. Maybe 2 years from now is a different story. But this upcoming year.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Look at the prior two years and he shot over 30 and around 40 percent from deep

Except that was 2 years ago. Each year his percentage number has dropped.

offensively maybe, but none are better than Tyrese on defense. His instincts were crazy.
But I'm on board w/who we have.

 

[singsing]

Nice get! I like these big CG's TJ's bringing in.

 

[Cycl1]

Welcome to ISU!

Steve...is that you?

 

[cyclonepower]

Not impressed. Should fit in. Can’t shoot.

Honest question why do you post here? Look at this guys post history... There literally isn’t one glimmer of a positive post and that was going to mid football season

 

[NWICY]

With Holmes being the pickup next to AJG, I’m not sure it’s overall as good as last year, but a tough offseason to rebuild in.

Last yr at this time there were 100s of posts how the team will only win 5 games blah,blah,blah. If TJ's good with it I am also. He has already shown he knows more about coaching and recruiting than 99.9999999999999999999999% of this board.

He must be related to clonedude.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

If we add Green, I can definitely see us being a 20 win team again.

 

[alarson]

I think people need to put expectations in check if they think this would be best in history. Strong offseason going but not Top 25 good most likely let alone historically good.

As a consequence of this year's success, we're going to have some overinflated expectations around here I think.

We could have a team exactly as good as this year's next fall and still not make the tournament if things don't bounce our way as well as they did this last year.

Hopefully this staff (and team) can continue to overperform.

Only a matter of time before it happens.

Welcome Jaren! Best wishes for a great last year in Ames!
