    Kayden Fish will return, fills Iowa State's 13th scholarship spot

    My immediate thought when I saw that was that he didn't get a lot of, well, nibbles in the market. Pure speculation. But a decent play on words. If I were Fish, I'd ask for a regular redshirt to go with his medical one because that is one deep front court that TJ and company have put together.

    Terry Anderson passes

    The two ISU alums that were held in Lebanon were big issues on campus in the 1980s when I was there. We held vigils, there were articles, forums, panels... Through a mutual friend, I actually got to speak with Terry Anderson on the phone once. He was very proud of his ISU journalism degree and...

    Cyclones in the pros 2023-2024 (hoops)

    Does anyone know the context of this? He's been getting a lot of DNPs so I'm wondering if there was an injury on the Jazz or something. 24 points - good work, Talen.

    Yeah, trying a bit too hard, IMO.

    Earthquake Rocks East Coast

    Well, I'm about 45 minutes away from the epicenter and my house shook like the Hilton after a go-ahead 3 against Kansas. It seemed like it lasted 15 seconds but maybe it was less. I've narrowly missed earthquakes while traveling, for example, so this was my first. No serious damage anywhere near us.

    Situation with Iowa Gymnastics coach?

    Well, let's hope there is nothing too serious here other than Mulkey-like screaming or something. But I swear gymnastics has more abusive coaches - with much lower participation - than football or men's basketball.

    Does ISU have any famous fans?

    Yes, but I try to keep a low profile.

    Omaha enters the transfer portal (confirmed)

    A buddy of mine in Chicago says ol' Sam is still not on the straight-and-narrow. He was not what you'd call a "character guy". I was once in a pick-up game with him and he walked off in the middle of the game and started playing in the next court over. Left us with 9 guys and a 10-minute...

    Two guys I got to watch some this year that caught my eye today in the portal -- Danny Wolf, Yale's 5. The Ivy doesn't allow them to take their (5th) COVID year so there have been a lot of good players going somewhere for a year in a bigger leage. REALLY skilled player - handles the ball...

    ***Official 2024 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Thread***

    ISU wasn't getting past UConn, I have to admit. The funny thing is that I was at the Seton Hall - UConn game when the Pirates ran them off the court. I remember thinking they were over-rated. Shows what I know.

    Kayden Fish going portaling

    This could end up like European soccer. Start playing in 3rd tier and join a top flight club as you develop.

    Illinois fans

    I enjoyed them at the tournament in the Destin era (Niang-Monte-Naz-McKay year). Sat with a guy who really knew - and loved - his hoops. Of course, it's easier to like another team's fans when you are dusting them like we did. On the other hand, I found UAB fans to be some of the worst humans...

    Jackson Paveletzke enters the portal

    Let's not forget he made some plays for the Clones this year. Good ballplayer. And tough as nails. Bit of a logjam at guard so we can't blame him. I'll be rooting for him and hope he lands in a good spot. Thanks, J-Pav.

    I noted that Jaden Walker was leaving East Carolina. It'd be hilarious if he ended up with Prohm at Murray State. (Side note: I sat by one of Jaden's former teachers at the Brooklyn Thanksgiving tournament in TJ's firt year - Ws over Xavier and Memphis - and she had great things to say about...

    My son - recently a HS athlete - says in his generation, some people would literally avoid "Adidas schools" b/c their stuff is uglier than Nike designs. I'm sure NIL and playing time are bigger factors in the transfer portal but ugly warm-ups / jam-jams may be a tiny motivator in a decision...

    Strictly a business idea - Michael Cera is promiting CeraVe, for example. But I'll embrace the dad joke vibe. I'm old and a dad.

    Maybe he'll go to UConn. Think of the NIL possibilities of Storr promoting stores in Storrs.
