You haven't been paying attention then. People have been talking about Des Moines and Minneapolis for a year.
Didn't Des Moines get announced in April?

There's a chance...So you're saying that I can be like Michael Jordan since I didn't make my high school varsity team as a freshman?
I don't see anyone saying they will have a deep run but Shayok is better than Jackson. Jacobsen is better than Brase. Wigginton, Lewis, Lard, Babb, Young, Talley should all improve.

Certainly, albeit that chance has less to do with basketball and more to do with smoking 6+ cigars a day and being a degenerate high stakes sports gambler!There's a chance...
So is saying anything about Jackson, Brase, and Beverly.Not sure what your basis is for picking Shayok/Jacobsen over Jackson/Brase. I've seen Jackson win games for us under pressure situations, but haven't seen that from Shayok at this point. They're also playing totally different positions. From what I've seen on film, a healthy Brase is a better player than Jacobsen due to his outside shot and defense. Not saying that they Shayok/Jacobsen may not end up being better, but to say that now is without support.

Something like that but Minneapolis has been known for a long time and people were excited, then blew their collective loads when Des Moines as announced and we weren't host. Talk of '18-'19 being the year haven't been hard to find on here and anyone saying we'll miss the tournament and also go deep the following year is delusional.Didn't Des Moines get announced in April?
You're nuts or new to college basketball.People seem to think that I don't think we will be better in two years than this year. I absolutely do. But the talk of having a down year this year and then turning around going deep the next year is foolish.
We'll be fine this year.
Not enough ball handling ability in that lineup.

I’d bet lunch Talley is a better ball handler than Lewis or Long right now.
How well is it going to work with Nick and Zoran at the 3 and 4 if neither can hit a 3 pointer? Not much spread to that offense.
Ya but not better than NWB.
You don’t really have to be that effective of a 3pt shooter to force them to guard you. Also, it’s not like we’ll have a big man that will force defense to sag to them either. Honestly, a guy that just shoots is probably more of a liability on offense than a guy that can dribble drive and pass and shoot a little.
Hmmm, if I'm coach on opposing team, I'm playing a little amoeba defense on them, sagging inside till they make a shot.
Wouldn't sagging inside disrupt the pick and roll?
It won’t take long to bust that. Wigginton will bag the 17 footer all day and Jackson will stroke the rhythm pull up 3 all day.
What I want to see:
DJ
Lindell
Talley
Lard
Young

Yeah but most skinny freshman that ended up being skinny seniors disnt have a dad that was anything but skinny and played football for ISU. He has grown 3 inches in a year and just turned 17. It is 100% reasonable to expect George to bulk up. I was a 180 rail on my 17 birthday and 240 with little fat by my sophomore year in college. Anyone who new my dad or grandpa could have predicted that too.Monte Morris, Anthony Davis, Larry Bird, Kareem Abdul-jabbar, Jared Uthoff, Dirk Nowitzki, Manu Ginobili, etc. Also, players rarely bulk up that much. If they are skinny as a freshman, they likely be skinny as a senior, most of the time. It seems like some people think George Conditt can bulk up to 250lbs in 2 years with no adverse effects on his athleticism or health. I am also on the side of "strength/bulk is extremely overrated."
