He was really a Steve Prohm guy though, right? TJ just convinced him to stay.

I'm seeing some coin flips when I put together a 6-way tiebreak scenario.
I took the default results, gave TCU losses to OSU and KSU, and gave Texas a loss to KSU.

Was just talking about this with a co-worker - they might be better without him. Having a high-volume inefficient scorer in a system which emphasizes effort, length, and defense could breed a lot of discontent. They have won with team effort, and having a "me" style player - even if that is what he is supposed to do - seems dicey to me.
Now watch him come back and score 30 on us. Either that, or its the Ewing effect. I am horrified about this game happening less than 48 hours after Mizzou.
Valid concern but if this team is going to be B12 champs then those are the games they need to win. TTU has nothing to play for other than vengeance for the ass kicking they received which is pretty good motivation.
As much as I despise KU you gotta respect they took everyone's best shots through the years because they were the top dog and always had a target. Since we are on the top we are going to have to take those same shots.
Not sure why it is assumed Omaha (I assume that is who you are referring to) has an ego? From everything I have read he is a GREAT kid. He was elected homecoming king. Id assume he is a level headed and kind kid. No reason whatsoever to think he isnt coming here with one goal in mind and that is to win. If you win the individual accolades and individual rewards will come. Not to mention the frontcourt is wide open next year. He will get all the minutes he can handle.
Well, to be fair it is only one poster that I've seen bringing that up.
But yes, it is pure silliness. And I hate silly.
It's good for gambling/predidction. It's not great as resume evaluator...yet come march people inevitably use it as a resume evaluation tool.
That's pretty much impossible when college basketball centers around a tournament where a committee ranks resumes for a field of 68.
It's a contradiction...the most popular metric/ranking isn't designed to do the only thing that actually matters for college BB.
I do see the value in it as a fan looking at how we went from a terrible team offensively and are moving up 4-5 spots almost weekly this year and you can see it on the court just because the offense is actually fun to watch. Splitting out the offense and defense in a widely followed ranking does a lot for discussing and obsessing over the teams.
It’s really not lol maybe he hasn’t had a lot of high upside talent but his rosters have been very seasoned to this point and not a lot of egos. I mean we had one high major talent recruit last year and he left…..
I feel like TJ is a no bull crap kind of recruiter. He tells the guys if you come here this is absolutely the expectation of you. Now things may not work out from time to time with a guy, but it will be known how we want to play and what we expect/hope from them. I think this style will help ease transitions between eras, so to speak.
Yes, they mentioned KSU being 10-0 when leading at the half on the broadcast when they were up at the half.
This is absolutely amazing! Being an ISU fan and a "root for chaos" kind of person this would be a dream scenario. Although, KU getting at share of the Championship while being in the 4-6 seed range for the BigXII Tourney would be the most KU thing the KU has ever KU'd.
this would be insane but i don't think all that out of the question.
So much JFC in this.
TJ is about to take ISU to a 2nd straight tourney which McD never even came close to. Nobody's anointing him anything but there's no evidence to support this kind of stuff.
You summarized it well.
The line of thinking in recent pages about this (mainly by 1 person) is that simply because the "caliber/talent" of HS recruits is climbing, it automatically suggests those guys are likely to be more self-centered, lazy or poor fit for the system. But we have to assume those things are baked into the recruiting process ... only difference is some might have higher upside & impact, (collectively, if not individually).
