He had 11 points against Drake tonight. I hope he has a very good career at Colorado State. It is a better competition level for him.

Chalk another sparkling aspect to McD's management of our program while he was here.

I wish Wes well.

He also had as many assists tonight as our entire team...

Wish he stayed a Cyclone. I had the Drake/Colorado St. Game on one TV and the ISU on another Wes hit some nice shots. He would have developed nicely in our new system, good ball handler and shooter.

What? Stayed at ISU? No way! That was the problem over the past several seasons. Iowa State CANNOT compete at the national level with guys like Wes. He was a nice kid, but not the caliber of most Big 12 players. It's basically Doug McDermott's situation now. He's just not a Big 12 player.

I do believe he is skilled enough to handle the ball in the big 12. Is he a top player...No but the guy could give us good minutes as a solid ball handler and hit some key shots.

Hes at CU State? Well I guess he'll be able to smoke more often now.

He was a great set-shooter, but could not create his own shot.

Uh, check out the top 25 man the Mountain West is a solid conference. If he can play there, he can play at ISU. I'm not saying he'd be just as good here as at CSU but he could definately have given us minutes. I'm not missing him too much though I think we're just fine at guard.

Does he still look like he weighs 90 pounds or has he beefed up a bit?

He looks the same as when he was here for the most part. Remember he was just a freshman and playing some minutes. Kid will be a baller for CSU.

He also got sick and lost about 15 pounds as soon as the season started. If ever there was anybody not able to afford a loss of 15 pounds, it was Wes. I think he could have played in this conference. He had a quick release and was a heady player...

Everybody at Iowa state gets sick and loses 15 pounds and then transfers. I guess the lesson is pray that our freshman don't get sick because it forces them to transfer. I am looking at you Shawn Taggart not you Aaron Agnew.
