VA Tech's Blackshear Looking at ISU.

[Blandboy]

I’d almost bet the farm that he doesn’t transfer to Iowa State. Most likely will test the NBA waters, and then go to a blue blood.

where’s your farm?

if Blackshear came to ISU, it would change mine and other predictions from a rebuilding year to a year similar to last year.

I'll believe there's a chance if he visits.

It would change mine from a contending to a championship year. Solidify the middle, and everything plays off that.

Blackshear ... Beardshear. We got this.

Has there been a single real link between ISU and Blackshear yet?

Good luck finding a big Iowa St can get that made as many 3s as Niang.

Isn't that the role Luke Anderson is slated for?

I was referring to the transfer market, but yes, ideally Anderson is the stretch 4 type. I'll be pleasantly surprised if he makes the rotation next season.

Not in complete disagreement, however, given prohm has said he expects 10-15 mpg with a bigger rotation, i expext we are open at the 3 and 4 spot. There are a few that could fill that roll, but Luke might be interesting.

I know Leech has the former 5* aura and Jackson might be a diamond in the rough, but Anderson actually has the highest 24-7 rating of the three of them. I would argue that Anderson had the better offers, too, discounting Leech's interest and offers from some of the major powerhouses in the country before his injury. He might be the best of the three of them.

We just have more need at guard/wing next year than for big men. Jacobson, a healthy Young, and a sophomore Conditt sounds like plenty for the big men space.

Prohm was also very clear in the OTR podcast that he was looking for either/both Zion and Terrence to step up and fill that stretch roll as well. Although you could argue that they are both more traditional threes than stretch 4s.

Agree, but no way we are running as much offense through them as we did Shayok, Burton, or Niang.

It’s just he may not be able to guard anybody. Prohm has talked about how playing guards early is easier than playing bigs early because of the defensive responsibilities. We were able to hide Georges his freshman year by having him defend the 5 and doubling on post ups. Anderson isn’t a offensive player on the level of Georges.

Not ISU but I thought some would be interested in where Kerry is playing next year. Side note it leave UK with an open scholly that they could use on N'Daily this summer (if he reclassifies).

@coreyevans_10 Kerry Blackshear just committed to Florida, he tells @Rivals. Top grad-transfer makes the Gators a Final Four contender
