Remind me, why did we not want Woodbury?

[Wesley]

Woodbury is going to be a monster. He's so raw right now. Can you imagine him as a junior. Wow

Yep. He looked very good. AND HE DID NOT FOUL.

[kingcy]

So you would rather have a guy like SDW who is redshirting or Okoro who hasn't shown any ability to be a B12 player than Woodbury? Fred would have taken Woodbury in a second if he had any interest and would have taken him over either of those two players and probably Naz as well.

On this ISU roster who would he take mins from? Im not saying he isnt going to be a good player, but there may not have been a place for him at ISU.

I don't know if Woodbury is going to be a monster, but he's going to be a really valuable player for them. Definitely better than I expected. Clemmons was really good too.

He could have Bookers minutes for sure. Some of Gibson's too.

The honest truth is CFH passed on Woodbury because he looks like a goober. You need to be aesthetic to play for the Cyclones. Same goes for Gessell.

There...it's out. Now you know.

[cytown]

It's too bad the cyclone defenders weren't smart enough to stop his one move. The drop step hook shot. Incredibly frustrating to watch him do that whenever he got the ball last night and the defense refused to do anything about it.

The kid is 7'1''. He had a hand in his face. If he can make that shot, its damn near impossible to stop.

[cytown]

This is my only point. We can stop with the Cyclone butthurt. I get it. We all hate Iowa. But that doesn't mean all their players are garbage and they don't have some nice young guys to look forward to.

We didn't ever factor into Woodbury because he was a lifelong Hawk. It was either Iowa or a big name school.

Saying he sucks or wasn't a factor is just butthurt and not objective.

Woodbury

23 min
9 points
5 boards

Niang

33 min
13 points
5 boards

Clearly both were factors. Maybe the biggest thing that Woodbury did was go cause one of our senior starters to pick up 3 quick fouls in just 5 mins of game action.

You just became my fav poster. Best freshman on the court last night was Niang. But that doesn't mean Woodbury won't be a big time college player. The butt hurt right now on this site is ridiculous. The kid got an offer from North Carolina for christs sake. He didn't want to be a Cyclone - life goes one. Lazard just committed mostly because he bleeds cardinal and gold. You win some, you lose some. But every single one of you saying hes awful and he wouldn't play for us make our fan base look like dumb *****.

Les Jepsen II.

I think he is decent. However we don't match up well at all with him. We are to small for 7 footers. Whithey will have his way with us. Good thing is there are not many tall centers in tue big 12.

[Bobby45]

Typical overreaction thread. Our team, which is better, or at least will be by the end of the year, doesn't show up for the game at CHA last night and some posters spend the rest of the evening asking why we didn't recruit their mediocre players that had better than usual evenings last night, especially when they had no interest in coming to ISU?



No wonder I avoided this site last night after the game - stupidity reigned the night.

If our team is so much better how come we lost by 9 points and committed 19 turnovers??

[cytown]

Because our team is full of transfers who have never played together. They are still adjusting. They had an off night. It happens. Get over it.

EXCUSES EXCUSES.............not gonna get it done with 19 turnovers and playing defense like a 7th grade pickup team.

this

a 7 footer who can shoot a hook shot is impossible to stop and that doesnt even mention the fact that he shoots it with either hand

thats why ive never understood why post players dont work on the hook shot more often, it cannot be stopped

woodbury is going to be a handful for the next 4 yrs

[CycloneVet]

Adam Woodbury showed up on his official to ISU with a Hawk T-Shirt on, that should tell you why he isnt at ISU. I also think that is a classless move by him to do that, have some respect or dont waste a visit. Anyway, Iowa played above themselves some last night. I will eat crow if they are able to bring that much energy every night out. i say that because I know they wont, hats off to them.

[NEICyFan]

Woodbury thats easy...


Because he's a SLOW WHITE KID & we at ISU do NOT recruit SLOW WHITE KIDS.....


Its as simple as that!!

LOL except for the "simple" fact that we offered him a scholarship and had he accepted we would have taken him with open arms. But don't let a fact get in the way of your false and racist rant.

I don't know how high his ceiling is but he's 7'1'', runs the court well (nothing "slow" about him) and he's active. He's only going to get stronger. He was outmuscled/pushed around at times tonight as he will all year but the desire is there to bang with the big guys. Looks to me like he will become an above average to good college player.
