Robert Jones, Tre King and Hason Ward Appreciation Thread

[Cyclonepride]

It's hard to overstate what these three guys have done to build a foundation for TJ's program. The emotions are going to hit me when I watch some postgame interviews, because these guys gave their all. This is a team that will be remembered for a long time (29 WINS!), and they were a big part of that. We'll miss them next year!

Very different payers, very different personalities. But all 3 were a massive part of our success.

I have that Conditt feeling for these guys.
Just love that they stayed and played hard.

Sure were. They bought in.

3 guys that came out and played hard every single night. We will definitely miss them!

Ward getting into early foul trouble was a big part of why we lost. He has been huge the last 5 games and wasn't able to get a lot of minutes tonight. Had some great blocks late in the game though. Over the last couple weeks I think he became my favorite player on this year's team.

Warriors. All of them. They deserve every ounce of success that has and will come their way.

 

[CycloneErik]

They helped set the tone that just might create a monster.

Solid group of tough dudes.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Huge impacts. Glad to have them as Cyclones, and glad they all had some real success.

 

[madguy30]

Man what a group and what great memories of all of them.

Talk about setting a bar.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Will miss them next year. Great Cyclones

Robert Jones finishes his career making 2/2 free throws.

Sigh...now that the season is done I'll start reading threads like this and get teary-eyed. It's already happening.

Man...what can you write? It's too bad that Hasan didn't have a great game tonight, but there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that if he had been healthy for the Florida tournament that we would have beaten either Virginia Tech or Texas A & M, and maybe both, and then we get that one seed.

I was happy to see BRE get the steal and the runout towards the end of the game there, even though it was in a losing effort. Also happy (well, no, not at all), but I liked that Tre got the last bucket of the season.

Tough loss, but great season. IMO the second best season in program history behind only the Fizer/Tinsley team of 1999-2000. And that's thanks in large part to these three young gentlemen.

Of course he did. That makes me laugh...in a good way.

They chose to come here and stick it out and were all key contributors in different ways and in different games. (Eg Tre King against Kansas this year). Best of luck to all of their futures.

I have a feeling we’ll see them around the facilities in the future.

Yes! Thank you Robert, Tre and Hasan for being great Cyclones, playing great, and giving key aspects to the current culture that TJ is trying to build!

I will always remember this year, the teamwork, the attitude and the effort, the number of wins, 2nd in the Big 12, and the Big 12 Tournament champions! These guys were a huge part of it. Definitely will be missed! Great year!

Robert and Hason both looked like 80% foul shooters on their last 2 each tonight. They improved so much and were really clutch when it counted.

 

[cstrunk]

Proud to call them Cyclones. Sad their time has passed.

 

[Dannynoonan]

Love these guys!! Thanks for everything you did for Cyclone basketball!
