Love fest 09 beginning. Ha! Gilstrap seems like a great kid even off the court. That make me happy hes on the team as well.

"Jamaal Tinsley, an Iowa State rookie in the 1999-00 season, wasn't even a Big 12 newcomer choice - and he went on to become a first-round NBA draft selection."

Why/how is this relevant?

Drawing comparisons to the last huge transfer we had?

Obviously Gilstrap is going to a become a 1st round NBA draft selection.

Hope that's the only thing he has in common w/Tinsley when it comes to his NBA career. Stay away from the guns, fights, strip clubs, and team banishment anyway

The thing that I found most funny about the article was that Calapari called up wondering how Iowa State landed Gilstrap. It's as if he was wondering if Iowa State was suddenly a player in buying players.

He probably thought that maybe Gilstrap hadn't received his check or new straight A transcripts in the mail yet and that's why he chose ISU over Kentucky

yeah, what the hell was up with the Calipari thing? That is just weird.

**twistedredbird** · 10-23-2009, 09:25 AM

It feels so weird, reading nice things about ISU MBB sans Brackins from other coaches....

**TheHelgo** · 10-23-2009, 09:25 AM

as a side note, my Mizzou friend went to a meet and greet with Mike Anderson, and when asked which Big XII team he thought was a sleeper this year, he answered ISU immediatey - citing Brackins returning, and a relative unknown player named Gilstrap.

I just hope we are not overhyping Gilstrap....

**kg-cyclone** · 10-23-2009, 09:27 AM

Watching practice...there isn't as much open space as there use to be. Kind of nice to have some size and muscle out there.

**delt4cy** · 10-23-2009, 09:30 AM

Is it me or does it just seem odd that other coaches and players made quotes like this about a JC transfer. I hope like hell the hype is true, but to me the fawning coaches is a bit strange.
