Elite gains in his foot speed
They may anticipate that means 27-28 minutes per game for Milan if the desired transfers join.
Wouldnt they be fine with anything that yields the desired play? That may mean less for Milan, if Hadley comes and is too good to keep off the floor, CuJo continues to play like he did the last half of the year, and Heise is a 36% shooter that can lock down most wings.
Those are all seniors. Some super seniors. It’s not being negative to think a true sophomore in Milan may be more at the sophomore Matt Thomas role than last year’s minutes suggest. Beating out Watson and Pav for minutes at the 3/4 spots may is hopefully much different than what he’ll face next year
He wasn't that impressive to me, but the thought of facing him and Devries shooting threes still wasn't ideal.
Except we lose 3 bigs that are out of eligibility and have a recruiting class of 2 guards. Including Hadley ( he's said to be a natural PF) i think we add 3 bigs from the portal. Heise is plenty for the backcourt.
I dug around on Dirt Burglar for reactions and found this:

Iowa state had been a huge transfer destination and has had success with transfers going back way before the portal and under multiple coaches. Wish we could find and replicate their secret sauce.
Kriisa sometimes looked like a borderline-NBA guy and sometimes like a borderline-SWAC guy.
Reminds me of Gabe K - his OFFENSE is what I mean (defensively, however, he was always ELITE).
I still have nightmares where I’m failing library 160 and never found the room to take the final. I feel like that dream happens once every year or so.
Ignorant question: Is the grading rubric used by 24/7 known?
I’m curious as to why Fish is currently ranked #16 and Omaha is #26.
It looks like they’ve awarded another star to Fish since high school. That can’t be based solely on added weight, right?
I'll admit I am quite shocked by this myself as well. Not to disparage Fish in the slightest, but something just isn't making sense here. Fish was hardly a super high ranked recruit coming out of high school (high 3-Star) and really didn't play much here at all outside of some garbage time. Omaha's ranking makes more sense being so high simply due to being a McDonalds All-American out of high school, even if he didn't produce much.
On the flip side, I can't believe how low they rank Dishon Jackson by comparison. The dude was a four-star out of high school and has proven to be a solid producer in a half-way decent conference already, yet only gets ranked as #97 on the list. I just don't get it.
Wake Forest, North Carolina. Guard reclamation U.
Probably would be a good pick by JH unless he wants to go mid major.
I wouldn't pay much attention to 247's transfer rankings. They don't seem to mean much. They just slap a rating on kids
My gut feeling is they just have some algorithm put it together and there's some bug with Kayden's profile. Omaha at #26 seems high but at least he has the recruiting profile. As you mention with Dishon, I'd imagine there's no serious scout or coach on earth that would say there's a wide gulf of value between those two where Kayden at this point comes out THAT far ahead.
I was always in just a t shirt not long enough to cover anything below.
Assume you remember we already have two bigs coming / Rock(RS) and Jackson.
I only see one more “big” a classic 4 man.
Why is there a confident assumption that an incoming transfer, that has yet to prove themselves in an Iowa State uniform and shown a buy-in to the culture, would be gifted the minutes of a starter?
