Iowa State Transfer/Recruiting Class 2023
- Thread starter CoKane
- Start date
Grill and Gabe were amazing defenders and when they were hot look out. I'm hoping Gilbert and Pav can be a little more consistent offensively and at least drive the lane and draw more fouls or finish at the rim and put pressure on the defense. Teams were selling all out and Grill and Gabe shooting and they couldn't make teams pay. Not saying they will have the highs of Grill or Gabe and probably not as good defensively (the first year) but having the ability to create off the bounce more than those 2 could will be a big bonus.
Landing more than 1, especially with two conference freshman of the year seems unlikely. Hope I'm wrong. I think the most likely is Gilbert since he was a legacy TJ guy.
Gilbert and Gabe seem like basically the same player. Great defense, streaky on offensive end
Don't give a **** about mid-range jumpers unless you are Morris, Shayok, Brockington or Beverly. Just need to Hoiball it on O.
This. I think the last 2 years TJ looked at his limited roster and found a way to manufacture wins with that aggressive half court defense. Lots of double teams and traps to force turnovers and get easy baskets. But it was high risk-high reward. If teams took care of the ball and spread us out we ended up with games like Iowa and home vs OU where they made tons of wide open looks and shot us out of the gym. It allowed us to be really good in the non-con both years but Big 12 teams seem to have figured it out.
I expect TJ and his staff to adjust as recruiting improves and he builds better rosters.
Gilbert was better in every statistical category last year beside the overall volume of shots. A year in which Gabe was an all-big12 player. Not to mention he has more athletic ability and a better ball handler
Another common denominator for the Iowa and UCONN games - referees blew the whistle early and often, putting us in foul trouble
Huge get. Hopefully we get Williams or Pavelzke now too.
Focus Town wins another one
Well, there was the 2 years Perry missed because of the war...WW2. ;-)
Nailed it. Just look at the top teams every year. They don't double like we do. They may double in spots like on the baseline but it is basically straight up.
CW mentioned on the Sunday night pod that Williams and ISU are "not a fit"
He expects a commitment from Jackson Paveletzke
There was mention of a third kid, who Kyle Green has known for awhile... Any investigative journalists out there?

i know i know i know i know
you can probably put some context clues together if you rummage some other places
Three schollies will probably go to:
Keshon Gilbert from UNLV
Jackson Paveletzke from Wofford
Curtis Jones from Buffalo
