It is going to be a tall task to replace Rob Jones, Tre King and Hason Ward. I think their contribution to our defense (and overall) is underrated. I do think we can find some guys that are maybe a bit more versatile, but there is certainly going to be a drop off in the non-con as the new main bigs get acclimated.no drop off from 3 established team seniors?? ...... right
I agree, their performance on defense is what makes our style so effective, they will be missed and hard to replace in the first year, took those guys 2 or 3 years to make it what it is
My personal opinion… with the 3 guards back… and Milan… there are ZERO minutes available at the 1-3 based on TJ’s rotation barring some major surprise from any of the others on the roster. Jones basically fills in as needed with those first 3 to provide rest and TJ kept the rotation short. I’m really curious how it shakes out at the 4-5. I don’t feel like Omaha fits the 4-5 in TJ’s system but I guess we shall see. Been a fun year!!
I think we add a 4/5 in addition to Jackson then we look for a productive big guard with offensive skills. Yes there will be overlap but great teams have that. Two more solid adds and we are serious NC contenders.
Harvard along with other Ivy League schools don't offer full athletic scholarships
Woke up, got breakfast, did some chores, noticed the time, and went to check my X (formerly known as Twitter) feed. Then 247, Rivals and now CF.
What the heck? It’s after 11AM Iowa time, and no earth shattering commitments in basketball or football yet? Did something break? What’s going on with that?!!!

Not sure why Cyclone fans should expect a drop off. We have great coaches and young players who have potential to get better. Plus, I don't feel Rock, Fish, Biliew, Watson, Paveletzke, Hamilton, Indrusaitis or Pierce will be relied on to play 15mpg+ next year.
I expect to see Momcilovic play more minutes at the 4 next season based on Lipsey, Gilbert and Curtis Jones returning. Dishon Jackson would be a logical 5th starter.
The graduating seniors were huge culture and effort guys. I feel like the staff can get those same characteristics out of the younger guys, who could actually be more skilled based on HS recruiting profiles.

We were recruiting this kid as an offensive tackle for football if I recall. Campbell can surely put in a good word if we're intersted.
I’d think UVa, his first school, would be the favorites. His HC at Charlotte went back to UVa as an assistant during summer of 2023.
I’d prefer a guy like Kyle for our defense, but a 6’10” guy that can shoot would be a big help to the offense.
That's why they go get guys that can get academic scholarships. Still the point is if you don't see a clear path to the NBA do you really want to swap out the name on your diploma?
Bad enough that ISU had to knock SDSU out on Thursday, now there #2 transfer out.
I'd add the caveat "zero additional minutes beyond what we already have coming in". I think we'll run 5 guys in the 1-3 spots and 3-4 guys in the 4-5 spots (including Milan when we run him at the 4).
