Potential individual records next season

[AMarner32]

I thought it would be fun to take a look at what kind of numbers our guys would have to put up to set ISU records. We have 30 regular season games and an unknown number of postseason games, so I will assume we play a total of 35, which seems fairly realistic. These are at least ballpark estimates.

Niang, points:
-Needs 490 points to join Stevens and Grayer as the only Cyclones with 2,000 career points. That's exactly 14 PPG. Barring an injury, Georges is going to get this.
-To reach Stevens at 2,190, Niang would have to average 19.4 PPG, which is unlikely but not impossible.

Monte, assists:
-Needs 355 assists to match Hornacek, who is ISU's leader in both career assists and steals. Luckily, Monte has two seasons to do it. He had 176 last season and to match Hornacek, Monte would need to average 177.5 assists per season, so he's right on track to make it close.

Monte, steals:
-Needs 101 to match Hornacek. Monte had 110 steals over his first two seasons, so he should get this record if he sticks around for his senior year.

Jameel, blocks:
-Homan is the career leader with 235 and Cato is second with 189.
-Cato has the single-season ISU record with 118.
-McKay had 59 last year (2.4 per game), so he could catch Cato for second all-time with 130 blocks next season. This is highly unlikely (3.7 per game) but still possible. The career numbers are messy for Jameel-- and Cato, for that matter-- because Jameel is only here for 1.5 seasons.

Naz, threes:
-Has 146 for his career. Sullivan has the record at 270, which is obviously out of reach.
-The single season record is held by Dedric Willoughby with 102. Naz had 77 last season. If we play 35 games, Naz would have to average nearly 3 treys per game.

There are more, but it's the offseason and I'm bored so I figured I'd take a quick look at some potential records.

Thanks for the info. Heres to hoping we break them all

Good stuff! I tell ya, if Niang breaks Barry Steven's record of all-time points, then the jersey retirement banter will shift toward Niang!

I'd bet the farm on Niang getting his number retired without reaching Stevens or Grayer. If he passes Hoiberg, he's a lock.

I agree, though I think he is a lock either way.

I'm curious what player holds the record for being part of the most wins? I'm guessing Georges will hold that one by a pretty good margin when he's done.

im pretty sure that's Ejim

 

[clone4life82]

im pretty sure that's Ejim

Currently yes but I believe Georges and Naz will pass him with something like 17 or 18 wins this year.

 

[mj4cy]

Wonder if down the road they'll retire Melvin and George's jersey at the same time?

 

[SoapyCy]

Good stuff! I tell ya, if Niang breaks Barry Steven's record of all-time points, then the jersey retirement banter will shift toward Niang!

Pretty sure he's a lock anyway.

Both someday. Maybe Monte if he stays his senior year, too, as the best of the Hoiberg era.

I think that if Monte stays for his senior year, he'll break Hornacek's records for both steals and assists, so you'd almost have to retire his number.

 

[Cyclonesince78]

Yeah I would say that Niang is a lock. Not Ejim though.

 

[NickTheGreat]

Interesting. Thanks for posting :yes:

I was surprised on the Homan/Cato blocking, but then thought about the length of careers.

Stevens doesn't hold the record. Grayer has it at 2500ish points. Georges is not making that record.

 

[theshadow]

Ejim is #1, having played in 88 wins.

Niang is at 75, Long 66, and Morris 53.

This is very cool. Unfortunately, I doubt that Monte is here for two more seasons, though.

 

[mjhavlo76]

My bad. Man, I don't know if Grayer's record will ever be broken! With kids leaving for the NBA early, that would be tough!

Stevens doesn't hold the record. Grayer has it at 2500ish points. Georges is not making that record.

 

[Haverhill]

Ejim is #1, having played in 88 wins.

Niang is at 75, Long 66, and Morris 53.

I want to see Niang reach 100 in the worst way.

 

[AMarner32]

I think it could be broken. These days, teams play about 35 games/year. 4 years of that and you've got 140 games. That's about 17 PPG.

17 PPG for a whole career is unlikely, but we had three players with over 16 PPG on our recent Sweet 16 team. It's not unheard of. Craig Brackins averaged 20.2 PPG his sophomore year. I think it's possible if we had a really, really good player on an otherwise mediocre team.

 

[AMarner32]

I'd bet the farm on ISU getting 25 wins this year.

The awesome thing about this record is that it's going to keep getting broken. Monte and Matt are both above 50 (I think Matt is two below Monte because of his suspension last season) so they could break Niang's record if they both stick around and have a good senior campaign.
