Interesting MBB stats that might surprise you
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
Informal observation is also that things seem to go very well at times with a particular line up, and then that line up gets scratched/subbed, then things don't go well, and the initial successful line up is not heard from again.
You do realize the other side, the thought that Prohm isn't doing as well as Hoiberg would with this team, is an opinion? Perhaps you should stay on the sidelines for this one.
here is an interesting stat:
we are terrible
the magic is dead
and im glad because you all made hoiberg your golden calf and he is not coming back ever welcome to hell

Pretty easy out of conference schedule helped inflate the offensive numbers. Against good competition, this offense has been pedestrian.
And those close games are the key. The great seasons are realized when you win them. We lost to Baylor and KU by what 6 points.
Iowa State has scored 33 or fewer points in 3 of the past 6 halves of basketball. I know Prohm likes to just let guys play, but when everything stagnates he really needs to force some offense to happen. Or this team just doesn't have the personnel to run that kind of offense.
Not really. Fred left in June of 2015, not really an ideal time for a head coach to take over. His recruiting classes are good. Last year he had no time to change anything around and didn't want to mess with Niang. He handled the personnel amazingly I thought, especially with McKay and BDJ.
He found some stop gaps in Holden and Bowie, that many on here were raving about. But those two were the backup plan if Malou or Lard didn't work out. They haven't exactly worked out, and some of that is on CSP. But I can tell you it's not for a lack of working them hard.
Now some of CSP's in-game coaching is questionable and I will not argue that point. He won't either. It's funny, not in a ha ha way, that he says all of the things in the post game that you all complain about in the game threads. So he knows the problems, but unfortunately it's like he needs more time, which you don't have.
Will this guy work out? No clue, but I think it's a disservice of us to not allow him to coach his kids that he's bringing in before we send him packing. Most on here think to this day McDermott is a bad coach. It didn't work out here, but to say he's not a great coach is silly.
CSP isn't going anywhere this year, and probably not next year. So I would suggest stopping the witch hunt if you truly love the Cyclones.
On the very first day he walked on to Ames, he knew he needed to get a top replacement for Niang. Now, two years later we don't have that guy, and I could argue that at the end of next season we aren't going to have him either. (IMO, Young is not the guy.) And, worse, I don't see any blue chip replacements on the bench for Burton, Morris, and ___ Long, either. Hey, I get that CSP is our coach. I just want him to do something. Soon.
You mean like having one of the best recruiting classes in school history signed?
Pls help me out. Just askin'.
Who are the players by year? What are their contributions, expected contributions?

You can check the scholarship chart for yourself. http://cyclonefanatic.com/basketball/mens/scholarship-chart/
Malou was that blue chip, and Lard may be that guy. I hope Young will become that, he has tools. That is 3 QUALITY guys off the top of my head.
Not to mention we played two of the most uptempo teams in the entire country - adjust these numbers for the competition and it's a completely different story.
edt: actually we played the top two uptempo teams and they're top two by a mile
