It's only a matter of time until an athlete sues to be able to play in college indefinitely, and I don't know the justification to not allow it.
What are the chances we go after Dix
- Thread starter Drew0311
- Start date
He’s not a P5 player. He’s just not. No matter what Ken Miller thinks.
The ISU players would duct tape him to the Jack Trice goal posts.
Why do we prefer high school recruits?
Rosters are year to year. You don’t pass on better players over a concern about its impact on high school recruiting
I don't think that'll ever be an issue. TJ and the staff he's put around him are very solid at identifying talent and getting them to Ames. You're just not going to hit on every single guy. And we're also very honest with our guys in not sugarcoating things. If you end up not panning out to where the staff thought you'd be, you'll be talked to about it.
If you want to play, be better than the guy in front of you. And TJ's had more than just those two. Tyrese, Lipsey, Milan, Watson and who knows what JT ends up being. He's still a true freshman age wise so he's not behind at all. As far as Omaha goes, the game was just too fast for him last year and he wanted to play significant minutes. It's not uncommon for top guys to not pan out. Happens all the time.
COVID years and the transfer rules have made the days of lots of freshman playing not as common. If you're playing as a freshman you're either really good or the team you're playing for is not.
Dix averages 13 points 3 rebounds in the big ten.
Heise averages 13 points and 6 rebounds in the Missouri Valley.
To say Dix isn’t a p5 player while Heise is currently on the 3rd ranked team in the country is crazy. If Dix played at UNI he would average 17 easily
I am very surprised that this hasn’t happened already, and I agree with you about no justification to not allow it.
Dix is a P5 player, but he also isn't a guy we're going to snag to be in our starting lineup next year. He'd be a better version of Heise, but I'm not sure TJ is going to sit there with the likes of Heise, Nojus and then Dix, especially with the influx of other guards we have coming in.
I agree with that. We will also have to see who transfers after the season. Probably won’t go after Dix but to say he is not a P5 player is crazy. He would be a good 6th or 7th man for a team like us but would probably be a starter at Nebraska type team
Dix is big and can shoot far with a quick trigger, but is saggy and droopy on defense. Better fit for Nebraska or Creighton. ISU only takes total packages.
Dix is a pass—-Jamarion Batemon (‘25 recruit) had a 52 point game last month where he went 16-20 from 3 (all in the first half). Didn’t play the rest of the game.
