I was a Craig Smith guy as well - though I'm not sure if I ever posted on it (I'm usually open to seeing how things play out). Not only has he been below average but he's had Brandon Carlson as a holdover who is an all-conference 7-footer all 3 years. *Matt Norlander soundboard* "I was wrong"I noticed Craig Smith was a hot topic back then, just for reference, he's 21-35 in the Pac12 so far with 0 NCAA tourneys in 3 years.
That's because he is a **** and knows Craig Smith is the best realistic candidate for the ISU job. Hope I am proven wrong.

Actually it's a reflection of not having a law or medical school attached to your university or local oil money.Jamie going to Jamie. For someone that came in claiming we needed to expect more, think of ourselves as a major conference program, no one uses it as a crutch more.
What coaches you can attract, and get donors to pay for is a reflection of the AD. Other things as well.
Bump.
How is this going?
Still trueThis will go down as one of the greatest days in ISU history!

Lazy, small time, small-penised move from JP. CW's buddy-pumping podcast made it clear this was going to be the route. Friends matter more than good business decisions. Ridiculous
Happy to be wrong. Thanks for defending TJ’s honor. Imagine you’ve never had incorrect opinions either, must be hell of a lifeUpdate?
Update?Spent millions to bring in the 7th place coach in the Mountain West. This program is a ******* joke.
Update?In my 30ish years with Iowa State, I can't think of a single hire that was this lazy and underwhelming.
I've been a heavy defender of Pollard until today. I could look past tucking windbreakers into black jeans and being overly preachy to the fanbase because he got results, but this is just too damn much.
Update?
Woof. Love looking back on old opinions. Man are we all dumb lolDay 3 of knowing and I am still disappointed.
Hope I am wrong but March 2025 we're gonna be doing this all over again.
