Probably a good thing for both parties. Also for CF, because that actually gives us a free scholly to discuss!

I agree. We're going to be a completely different looking team next year. Not just roster moves, but the style of play.

Unreasonable expectations was the reason the internet was invented.

The thing that excites me the most about next year is that our bigs shouldn't be afraid of playing aggressive defense, because none of them will be as crucial on the offensive end as Royce. We may not be as smooth next year, but I think we could easily be just as good as this year with some defensive improvement.

Careful. I once had a post deleted with the same joke. Apparently making fun of Al Gore's comments on inventing the interwebs is political.

Getting Pelle to ISU would not be critical, but it would be nice to start "priming the pump" with a 5 star recruit when Fred has 5 - 6 scholarships to give out this summer.

Pelle is not coming here.

Replacing Tammy with TCU and Mizzou with WVU can't hurt our chances matching those results. One main reason Royce was so important is because of the lack of PG we had. The mismatch would be nice in addition to Lucious, but with our guys having another year of experience with Clyburn coming in and the recruiting class I would expect a better season overall.

A top center recruit has more potential than Percy Gibson. NO WAYYY!!!!!!

It would be great if we could get him but he has yet to visit and I'm on the side that he just straight up doesn't want to come to Iowa State. Crucial? No way in Hell

Actually the Al Gore jokes have moved into the realm of just being funny at this point after the climate blowup talk.

It is not that crucial.

We have Ejim, Gibson, Niang and Booker to play in the post next year. Clyburn is a guy that could see some time at the 4 spot as well since he is 6'7.

Thanks for being that guy. Unless you know him, you need to stop posting. And I would bet all the money in my savings you don't.

It may not be crucial to get Pelle, but I think that it is crucial to get SOMEONE. Coming into a season with 4 players for the two post spots is worrisome. Find a shot blocker...don't care if it is JUCO, prep school, transfer, whatever.
