Yes. I'd guess it's been asked around 10 times.
It’s been asked and I’d say there is a good chance Caleb transfers back.
True. I am not so high on your long list of positives. But he will have a chance to earn it.
And, unlike probably 70% of the posters in this thread both pro TJ and against, I’ll be at all the home games cheering them on.
I agree with this. Like Hoiberg when he first got to ISU, hiring an experienced X's and O's guy will be key for TJ. He probably was able to get away with it to a certain extent at SDSU because he could recruit superior talent.
How often does that happen?
Was he one whose parent or something ripped ISU post-transfer or am I thinking of something else?
Would be pretty eye opening to see him come back and flourish/be allowed to open and play like he can.
Wolters played 4 years in the NBA, not 5. His final 3 years he played in 11 games, 10 games, and 5 games. He played 267 minutes in 3 seasons, which amounts to 5.5 total full games over a 3 year period.
Making the NBA is extremely tough, obviously but let's not equate basically a 2 way player for most of his career with someone playing in nearly every game over a season.
I was being factious and I certainly hope not! Sorry for the repeat, should have known.
I am hoping that he retains Jayden Nunn and brings Nunn's teammate who he was recruiting to UNLV. I am going to guess Hunter chooses to go somewhere else.
Roster spots as of right now:
Bolton
Johnson
Jackson
Hinton
Conditt
Foster
Harris
Dubar
Blackwell
Walker
Only 2 free spots as of right now. I am guessing we may see some transfers out though too.
If it's TJ, so be it. I dont know enough about college basketball to know if he is a good or bad hire, but hiring a coach because he may have been the right fit 6 years ago, doesn't make him the right fit now.
It is one thing to advance at your job and maintain what you helped build, but a complete rebuild is different than continuing an existing culture. The older players who help pass on the culture to the younger players are gone. We are a different job now than we were, but he is also a different coach now than he was. I like that he went and got experience as a head coach, but I don't know if those extra data points paint him in the best light. Sdsu he was successful, UNLV has had lesser results thus far, but i think you need more than 2 years to say if he was a failure or not.

Honestly I can’t think of another time an athlete has transferred back to the school they originally left.
And yeah it’d be cool to see him in another light. I’m assuming a lot of people didn’t get to see him play this year, but he did get better from last year. He still looks a bit awkward out on the floor, but hopefully that could change with having a true PG and him being another year older.
He shot the 3 a lot better though. 25% to 34%.
Yeah that wasn’t my point. I was saying Daum was not the first NBA talent SDSU has had in a long time. I wasn’t trying to make Wolters out to be an NBA all star.
I think there is a far better chance we retain Hunter than get Kaluma from UNLV but who knows.
I think his success will depend on who he hires as assistant coaches. Hoiberg has fantastic assistants in both X's and O's and recruiting. Bobby Lutz, Doc Sadler, Otzelberger, Henry were all really good. Then you had Abdelmassih recruiting transfers. Those guys all had/have experience at other P6 programs. Some of them had head coaching experience as well. Prohm's assistant coaches sucked once Otzelberger left. He was too loyal to those guys.
James Kane, Williams Small and Daniyal Robinson have never been assistants at the P6 level outside of Iowa State.
Shes had so much work done she doesn't even look like the same person. Now she looks like the joker.
As quiet as you’ve been i assume you hate it, but you've decided to be a good soldier.
