Recruiting misses override actual wins and losses? This staff has been pretty good when it counts. You do realize coaches do more than recruit, right?
RECRUITING: Rodgerick Brown to Wichita?
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
After next years recruiting class our scholarships should be much more balanced moving forward. I wish more people could understand this!
Getting the tranfers was bigger than landing a couple late addition freshman. Brown wouldn't have seen the floor much with Babb, Lewis, Brase, Beverly, Long,Young, and Lard. All playing positions he could get some playing time at. Next year wouldn't be any better.
Having six Big 12 players (and down to five when Naz had to shut it down for the season) is not the same as having seven or eight. If that same season was...
Morris
Mitrou-Long
Nader
Niang
McKay
---
Thomas
Burton
Bielfeldt
...with a healthy Naz, then it probably ends up a little different at points. Probably was not making it past UVA, but maybe we would have had the seed to avoid them.
I agree with you -- depth gives you a margin for error. But having a good #8 is not that relevant, and nobody was coming back from losing a Georges Niang in the tournament.
You can get away with 6-7 if all goes well, but 7-8 is ideal.
Our top five that year were as good as anybody, you are right we suffered for a lack of really viable and flexible options behind them, and the minutes wore that team down.
Wigginton
Lewis
Shayok
Jacobson
Beverly
Brase
I'm not worried about the staff bringing in elite - by ISU standards - talent when they don't have 8 scholarships to fill.

Yeah, I agree with you here. Another perimeter contributor with decent size would have me totally comfortable going into the season.
Recruiting would be easier if we went after the Scott Christofferson and Sean Haluska's of the world.
Scotty C would be one of Prohms better recruits thus far.
Haluska was a walk on.
I'm not seeing your point.
Scotty wasn't even a top 150 recruit
Agree completely. If they can sustain the level of the first 4 on your list year after year (nothing against the grad transfers), we'll consistently be at the top of the league and making runs in the NCAAs. 4 per year like Wigginton, Lewis, Shayok and Jacobson is more than sufficient to keep us at the level we're accustomed IMO.
Haluska went on scholarship. Probably easier to recruit kids already on your team.
I think some one this board just want to add players. Even if they are just decent. This guy was wanted by a few teams because teams has ships to fill. Not because he was great. Let's be honest. Us and WSU were his only two good offers. If we got this kid in 2018. Everyone would be disappointed we could not get better than beating out some low mid majors and a high mid major.
One thing about this staff is they'll go after any recruit. Evidently not afraid of rejection. Give them time. Last year maybe could have been a rebuilding year. It almost was. Wigg, Young, Lewis and Lard are going to be good. I don't care why they are here. The glass is half full. Lol.
He averaged 8.9 points per game last season...
In 20 minutes per game on literally the slowest offense in college basketball. I don't think it's crazy at all to think he'll put up 15+ ppg in Prohms offense
Have you ever watched him play? He will be really good here.
Shayok's points per 100 possessions in the ACC last year...
25.9
Compared to some of our guys in the Big 12 last year...
29.9 = Burton
28.6 = Mitrou-Long
25.3 = Morris
22.2 = Thomas
20.9 = Jackson
This guy will get buckets.
