    ***Official 2024 Transfer Thread***

    People are attracted to shiny and new, but Watson will be a major factor next year. Mark my words.

    Scheelhaase to Rams

    Great spot for Nate! If he is to be viable as a head coach (including an eventual successor to CMC), he needs to be in more high end “programs” and few in football rival the McVay tree (maybe only Shanny and Reid for offensive side coaches). Not going to be popular opinion, but NS is a bigger...

    Jeremiah Williams to the transfer portal.

    Roster is very different than when he was recruited. He was brought in for 30+ minutes running point, defending and scoring a lot with a true freshman backup. Minutes and shot opportunities project to be much harder to come by in the guard court with the current roster.

    OU Depth Chart Observation

    I noticed on the OU depth chart released that they have their defense in the Heacock 3-3-5. Don’t recall hearing of that formal change. OU Depth Chart

    Paul Haynes? Rumor started by football scoop that may or may not be true

    Not for sure, from either side, yet.

    Paul Haynes? Rumor started by football scoop that may or may not be true

    This was an easy option Matt noted when discussing the 10th assistant. If this happens, it will be because the TE position can fit into various existing rooms (OL, RB, WR). If there is a specific position add to the offensive side, it is because they have determined Joe's role works from a...

    Roster Weights Updated

    Where Leo lines up in Fall camp probably has more to do with whether Tongamoa is able to join in August than anything. He's a project but should still be one of the top 12 guys on the DL. That is about the number that the staff would like to see get snaps to be able to sustain energy and effort.

    RECRUITING: Big time 2018 DE visiting this weekend

    The only high school guy we got on either line with any offers of consequence in as long as recruiting coverage has been "a thing" is Jake Campos prior to the arrival of this staff. Good-Jones was the only other HS guy on either of the lines with any Power 5 offers for a number of years. Last...

    Big Week for MBB

    What a difference a week can make. With Baylor losing at Tech, wins this week at KState and at home over TCU likely puts ISU in a tie for 2nd in the conference with Baylor and WVU and puts at least 2 games between any other trailers, assuming chalk otherwise.

    Over/Under on Solomon Young's minutes tonight.

    Iowa State's big advantage against Texas is keeping the Texas bigs on the bench because they can't guard anyone ISU has on the floor. To go well, we will see a lot of Burton and Weiler-Babb at the 4 and 5 to help spread the floor, which I think will comprise most of the second half minutes...

    Kansas hires Doug Meacham as OC

    KU added Joe DeForrest from West Virginia as well this offseason. Quietly putting together a far stronger staff, on paper.

    Offensive struggles

    That actually helps to illustrate my point. The ball thrown into the post ain't comin' back out. It's a hoop, a missed shot, free throws or a turnover. As a perimeter guy, you aren't dumping it in unless you feel good about getting the good results of the 4, and the free throw percentages out...

    Offensive struggles

    They have got enough touches to average 4.5 turnovers, 23.5 shot attempts and 9.5 free throw attempts per game, as a collective group.

    Offensive struggles

    One stat I have noticed this year to help illustrate why the offense struggles at times is assists, especially post assists. Last year, Burton averaged 1 assist per game, McKay averaged 0.9 per game, and George provided 3.3 per game. This year Burton is averaging 1.1, Bowie 0.7, and...

    Matt Rhule to Baylor

    I have not seen a defensive, Big Ten-type style like is his MO and background work in the Big 12. Eventually all defensive coaches figure out they need to outscore people, and if they can't, they disappear. Charlie Strong is a really good coach and recruiter who couldn't win in this league...
