KSU game will show who ends up in the cellar of the Big 12

I am not sure he has to actually implement it, probably just say it really loud.
This team has talent, some promising young players and some good experienced ones. No surprise that this team looks like poop early. Prohm's future is going to lie in how this team progresses through the season. It isn't going to the Tournament but we need to see some kind of semblance of cohesiveness and they show some idea of following the game plan by mid season then use that to actually push other upper tiers teams in the B12 towards the end of the season it can provide a launching point and momentum for next season. However if they don't do any of that and the product is this same bad basketball we've seen for 2 of the last 3 years then Prohm gets a no confidence vote and I think the people's opinions that matter (big donors) look for a replacement.
a bunch of old women could beat k state...Iowa state is a lot better, my god if we are at the same level of futility as k state....I don’t want to think about it
I mean I have no hope, but isu is a lot better than k state

The problem that we are having is years 3/4 should have had Freds Guys. Prohm has had to piece together rosters since his 3rd year because he had zero underclassmen... I think with this class that trend will stop..Foster and DD will be dudes. Hopefully DB stays ( mom was sick while he was in HS) and I am intrigued by Walker...This class's stays together along with Jackson and Hunter and now he is no longer finding 5 new guys every year. I hope they start winning because it sucks seeing what the new coach is gonna do.
It's frustrating, yes, but those are both good-great college players. They made an Elite 8 together.
Another trend i hope will stop is people blaming a coach who was here for 5 total years and had the best win percentage in school history for the failures of a coach who has been here longer.
How many years did any of Fred's woes get blamed on mcdermott? 1? 2? Were people blaming mcdermott when we got bounced first round to UAB? No, because that would be silly.
They also nearly lost to 2-5 NDSU and nearly lost to Bradly. I know the trendy thing around here though is to pump up our losses.
Zero years we blamed McDermott, we were extremely grateful to have him gone.
The second I watched a Fred coached game made me happy. Those kids played HARD. It was the best .500 year I have ever seen. Plus sitting in the bleachers at home games was the future right in front of our eyes. We knew it would get better. I’m not sure it will with Steve.
TCU isn't full of world beaters. Hopefully we scratch out 4 wins or so in conference and see some growth in the young guys.
Respectfully, I have an issue with this take. how many four year guys have completed careers at ISU over the last 20 years? Not many at all. Prohm had a two year head start to acquire older guys and brace for what he saw on the roster. He does not get a pass for that poor roster management. He was the HC for 24 months by then- that is NOT Fred's fault.
You can flip programs and make the NCAA's in two seasons if you are good at roster management. By your third season- it's your program, no blaming the other guy. This ain't football. College hoops is a transient sport where youth can win and the 1995 way of doing things is mostly gone
Next, your hopes on this freshman class are too high. I will wager you that not more than two of them are here in 24 months.
Haha! Careful or somebody will make one of those about us! I think there should be more of a smoke cloud or something.
I'm not on the message boards as much as in past years but since when did it become "cool" to act like you don't know/support our basketball team? It seems to me that most ISU fans proudly display that "loyalty" badge through good and bad years, but now some of you are starting to remind me of Iowa basketball fans for the last 15 years or so. Kind of gross.
I am going to guess the game is a lot closer than some expect until about the last ten minutes and then ISU pulls away.
I hope Jackson plays. He will probably won't be fully ready in his first game back but I am interested to see if he has improved.
