Fred giving up on recruiting many good players is no ruse. Give him credit for being too honest I guess, but he definitely hurt our recruiting for his last two years at ISU.
What I know about the Prohm/Alabama speculation...

So, you saw Nader as a draft pick after his one year with Fred? You saw Naz as a guy who would play in the the NBA? Deonte Burton never played a second for Fred, but you thought he was an nba player after his half season?
I just hope Prohm's showing against tOSU was good enuf to keep Alabama interested.
Haha, preseason rankings matter? They were
From a team that lost every time they were ranked #9 the year before.
They were decent but not an actual top tier team.
How did this NBA roster compare to other teams with NBA lottery picks and such?
Did you see Naz Long as even a fringe NBA player? Nader?
How did Ben Simmons' college team do?
Ummm yeah I thought they looked very solid with a bright future. Much more potential than Jeff Beverly. I think we all knew he had zero nba potential along with several other transfers Prohm has brought. Besides the point though I was just agreeing with several other posters that get tired of people acting like Fred completely screwed Iowa state and Prohm and left absolutely nothing behind.
And this is my biggest issue with it all.
We have the best offensive talent in the Big 12 and I would argue it got progressively worse throughout the year.
This. There is no offense. What is the offesnsive identity? Transition? That’s about as helpful as having an identity of special teams in football.
Just roll the ball out and hope your players make plays. Middle school teams run more set plays than ISU. And then the inbound plays...We literally forfeit a would be advantage a just hope to safely get the ball in.
Prohm anticipated the 4 guard lineup being a bigger mismatched than it was, and never adjusted in games where it wasn’t working.
Some high skilled guys but ISU was an easy team to guard when the offense turned into a dribblefest.
Happened again last night when they just needed a good look. You either figure it out or you don't.
What Jamie does and what should happen are two different things. Pollard has improved a lot but still has a couple of flaws.
This game was kind of the perfect storm. A tough, defensive-minded, slow-paced team coupled with an officiating crew who allowed very physical play.
Everything I read said Wesson was a really good player IF he could stay out of foul trouble. He did that for the most part due to officiating style but also due to tOSU defense.
We did drive the lane and tried to take it at Wesson but tOSU guards did really good job protecting Wesson. Then, if we did get into the lane our guards seemed to fall away from him instead of going right at him. Then the few time in the beginning of the game when we did take it at him, he maintained vertically well.
Jeff Goodman still saying he thinks Prohm goes to Alabama.

Click the link at the bottom to the Vanderbilt job and Prohm is named there too. “Fits Vandy in many ways.”
He may not, but it's far from a sure bet. There's been plenty of scuttlebutt the last couple days.
Why is that funny? Texas Tech fans don’t support the program and don’t travel well. It’s not crazy to think he’d leave for Alabama. WHP 810 out of Kansas City was talking the other day about how Tech fans need to realize what they have in Beard before he bolts because he has no fan support. I’m not saying Alabama basketball fans are better, it’s very plausible he could look at it as a better job.
