Iowa State Transfer/Recruiting Class 2024
- Thread starter CoKane
- Start date
Yeah, but now everyone else can hand the bag to players too. I don’t love NIL, but it has, in ways, leveled the field a bit.
The funny thing is despite all of the money that UNLV was paying to get top notch recruits, they couldn't do anything with that talent.
Does that prep school still exist that they got all the high school kids to attend in Vegas then would basically pay them?
As an aside, this dude complains about everything, so not sure he'd fit
Great fit at Iowa, though. Except that he plays some defense and has a little athleticism.
He'd also be a huge liability for us if asked to guard anything more than 5 feet from the rim
I took a look at his stats - I remembered him being a much more prolific scorer and rebounder at TCU, but maybe that was just against us. To paraphrase Bill Simmons, you can get away with having one, um, character on a team, but I’m not sure Lampkin fits what we’re trying to do on either end of the floor.
I tuned in to a few Colorado games down the stretch and was amazed and what little role he had. I recalled him being a pretty solid player at TCU and he didn't do much of anything for Colorado in the games I watched.
I've said it before, but it's not surprising to me that three years into everyone being able to pay their players above-water, suddenly there's more parity than ever seen before and the likes of KU, UK, UNC, and Duke are not so dominant anymore. Yes there's been some turnover of historically great coaches on two of those teams, and yes KU won the whole thing in the first year of NIL, but that was before ~every team had their NIL operation up and running smoothly.
The new thing that the blue bloods and "national brand" teams like UConn and Michigan State will cling to to keep their advantage will be this business of "you have to play a tough non-con schedule to be a top seed" (as they keep scheduling each other and keep getting matched up against each other in early-season tourneys for TV ratings while ISU faces the likes of DePaul), which has already started.
Love is Kind.We haven’t even started the tourney and it seems like every thread has people going after each other.
This place will be a war zone on Friday if we lose haha.
I think I Kind of Love you all.
Sometimes.
If we could just channel this energy into peace and love, haha.We haven’t even started the tourney and it seems like every thread has people going after each other.
This place will be a war zone on Friday if we lose haha.
We could be back in the '60's.
I’m trying t-Noah…I’m trying…If we could just channel this energy into peace and love, haha.

We have a 2nd confirmed contact. 6'11" Center seems to fit a need.

Let's get this guy!
It's amazing that we have signed (have we? 'declared', a better word) Jackson, but I think JT is going to be an impactful player for us, sooner vs. later, to augment Jackson. Just a feeling. He may not get more than 5-8 minutes per game next year, if that, but...
JT is going to be part of the TJ culture. I remember a couple of things about him (among others) shortly after he declared with I-State. 1) His humility and servant attitude, and not being 'above' regular people. I remember him picking up trash in a visitors gym, after a game. Who does this? And 2) His intelligence. He came across well with the interviews that I watched.
JT is going to surprise some people, even in his (redshirt) Freshman year. JMO
I expect him to get more minutes than 5-8.
My gut says Jackson starts but I expect the minutes yo split about 25/15. The way we play defense the bigs cannot play 30+ imho.
