Agree that they all have the ability to play professionally, my only real question would be Naz with the obvious health concerns. Playing with glass hips.

It wouldn't surprise me a bit. Very few of the guys that have come through here over the last 7 years aren't playing some sort of pro basketball.....Melvin, Kane, Clyburn, Lucious, Babb, Royce, etc.

Sure didn't look like glass hips this year. I think he's good to go for a while. I have no doubt all four can play at the next level. Matt and Naz most likely Europe, but you never know.

I don't think it is absurd to think Donny Jack & Lil Babb could play somewhere when they are done. It will be interesting to see if Solo can develop into that, too. It'd be crazy if 7 guys from this team played pro in some capacity.

It's almost a sure thing they will. I can't confirm, but I'd imagine we have several teams in the recent past the have had that many play pro in some capacity.

If Young's outside shot is as good as a few have watched, he'll undoubtedly play pro somewhere.

Four ISU players going pro gives a boost to recruiting.

I don't think, outside of some big name NBA one-n-dones, recruits pay much attention to the fact that some Cyclone alumni is playing in Europe or Australia. Same thing with Hoiberg's alleged "NBA ties" being some big deal. He didn't bring in any sure fire NBA talent with maybe the exception of White and that was more Minnesota ties. And of course nobody outside Minnesota or ISU knows who White is anymore cause he didn't succeed in the NBA.

That would be extremely surprising.

Even booker played professionally in exotic locations like Lithuania and Albania so don't see how Holden or Bowie going pro would be surprising. Heck even edozie was given a contract in England.
