    Opportunity for optimists

    I don't have a lot of years left to watch Cyclone sports-- I'm 88. So tell me why I should be excited about Bball next year. We need a quick turn around. Hunter is the only guy of the returning players that has a chance of improving. There is nobody who will morph into the next Naz Long or...

    Not needed

    Cyclones don't need Dan Dakich and Seth Greenberg to tell them what's wrong and how to fix it. They already have Chris Williams, Randy Peterson and the Fanatic forum.

    Recruiting

    Here's a novel idea for whoever is managing this site: How about updating the scholarship charts so we can get an idea of who might replace Bry?

    Elephant in the room

    I've read page after page of comments, yet no one has pointed out the fact that this team does not take what they consider "lesser" opponents seriously. After several close calls, the players say "we can't keep on this way." Yet they do just that. UAB only gets in by winning their conference...

    Recruiting

    What I would like to see on Cyclone Fanatic threads is information that actually concerns recruiting and Basketball, without searching through 5 -300 comments full of nonsense and trivia.

    Big 10 in NCAA

    I am surprised there isn't more fussing about the Big 10 getting 7 teams in. Colorado finished better than any of that mediocre bunch with the .500 conference record. Does having the AD at Ohio State as chairman of the selection committee have any thing to do with that? I just want to be on...

    Basketball recruit

    Bronson Koenig, PG 6'2" soph. Aquinas HS LaCrosse WI. Scot C went to Aquinas . Reported to have offers from Wisc, Marquette, North Carolina, Wash State, and Virginia, among others. Bennet Va, was at the game last night. Roy Williams visited last week. I assume with the TJ and Scotty...

    Why do you do this?

    Some of you wannabe experts keep bringing up names of people ISU should be recruiting, without any indication of interest by the coaching staff. Like Carrick Felix, or Jeff Jordan or Royce White? Then those of us who come here for real information, have to sort through pages of BS trying to...

    New Guys

    I realize this could just as well be lost in some other thread, but I want to point out: There are five new guys on this roster that have not played 1 minute of Big 12 Bball, and each of these guys plays a different position. And this combo, IMO, could beat any combination of players that you...

    Question about Buckley

    This question is not intended as criticism of Buckley, nor do I want an answer from some high school kid out in Podunk Center or some "expert" in California or North Carolina. How would you compare Buckley's play/progress with where Garrett was 1 year ago? Garrett was playing more minutes then...

    Tyrone Appleton

    I wonder what thoughts go through his head as he sits on the end of the KU bench and watches the ISU guards shoot 17% while "limiting" the guy he's not playing behind go off for 26?

    Wanted: Miss V State Nov.29

    I am going to be in Ames Thanksgiving weekend, and plan to take in this game. I know there will be tickets at the door, and plenty of room. I am interested in 2 bargin tickers for better seating. Any offers?

    Consider this

    GMac has been criticized by some as a failed recruiter, especially after losing several big men to Wisconsin. I see Wisconsin has stopped recruiting Royce White so please consider this: Ryan and GMac both are seeking the same type of player, that is, good citizens, hard workers, academically...

    Rules question

    Player drives to the basket, is fouled during the shot. Ball is touched on the rim by team mate thus basket interference is called. Player gets one shot if basket is good, does he now get 2 because the basket did not count? Or is the foul null and void because of the basket interference...

    Future for the Sisters

    I don't suppose anyone wants to discuss the future with all the excitement focused on the present, but this team has a really bright future ahead. Next years backcourt is set and could be stronger with some more depth coming in at PG. And the front court will be deep if Ross and Weiben are...

    Instate recruiting

    Just thinking about all the instate Div I recruits that didn't go to ISU. Seems we miss out most often on those that originate east of I-35. For example:Collison, LaFrenz, Mark Gannon, Chris Street, Jess Settles, Brunner, Gatens, Gibbs, Bohannon,Horner, Etc. Some we got West of I-35:Homan...

    Hawkeye basketball

    After close losses to Indiana and Wisconsin, I was busy heaping praise on Lickliter and went so far as predicting the Hawks would go 6-1 in their remaining games. Instead, they were lucky to win one game since with 2 to go, neither of which is a cinch. Lickliter turns out to be human after...

    Relevant?

    As a source of sports information regarding ISU, I find this web site becoming more and more irrelevant. Maybe that is the generation gap showing up. Or to be more accurate, 2 generations.:sad:Im guessing that to more than half the posters here, I'm older than your Gramdpa.
