Lard as a freshman was an elite offensive rebounder. Usually guys with that skill aren’t guys where you have to question their effort but he really fell out of favor with the previous staff.
Wasn't Lard from rural Louisiana? I find it kind of odd he's still hanging around Des Moines 4 years later.

I would hope he would find Iowa a better state to live vs. Louisiana.
He's undoubtedly impressed by current political forces and trends in Iowa.
It's not about it being a public record. It's about having some empathy for a fellow human being. Just ask yourself if you would want people posting and talking about your mistakes or criminal record? That's the question you should ask yourself before posting about him, and I suspect for most on here the answer to that question would be "no." That's the test I'd hope one would apply before deciding whether or not to post.Everything posted on here is by law public record.
And nobody has said anything derogatory about Cameron.
We were mostly reminiscing about the outstanding flashes of talent he displayed during his tenure in Ames and lamenting how this has become a cautionary tale. Everybody feels bad for him.
Damn we've had these same unis for a LONG time.
I'm guessing that's not a problemCan somebody start tracking his private jet?

Green would run him off in a week. We now have expectations.Would have loved to see him in TJ's system for a couple years.
Maybe, but as others have said, different people respond in different ways. Maybe a permissive attitude allowed his bad habits to fester. Maybe discipline would have reached him. Maybe not, we'll never know.Green would run him off in a week. We now have expectations.

Wilt Chamberlain was the best rebounder in NBA history.
Drop the recency bias.
Living in Virginia, I'm not able to attend many games, but I took the opportunity to go to the Myrtle Beach preseason tournament with my then-4-year-old daughter. At the end of one of the games (all wins in case you don't remember), we made our way to where the team was coming off the court and my daughter held out her hand for a high-five. She was obviously small and we were a bit out of the way, so almost everyone walked or jogged right by. Everyone except Cam Lard. He came over and slapped her hand, said something like "Go Cyclones" or similar, and smiled. I don't think she remembers it anymore, but I always rooted for him a little harder after that day.
