Ya but I'm not sure he was ever making it to the League. He was probably correct taking the money. I'm not even sure he would have beaten Tamin out.
Tyrese Hunter Enters Portal Again

Those quotes weren’t bad and neither was the smoke comment.
Moreso then transferring though, Hunter’s biggest mistake for development was wanting to play off the ball. He’s not a good shooter and has trouble finishing at the rim through contact. His size also limits him from being a good defender on combo guards. He’s much better defensively harassing the primary ball handler.
He’s a PG through and through, but for some reason he wanted to play off the ball at Texas.
2 yrs out I'm guessing CF is the only place he is remembered.
You know, this is really what happened to young men wanting into the pro game in the past, no? Now, they just get just earlier practice for it and are making a little bank while in college.
I, for one, know that I would have been very satisfied to leave my college experience a) close to a degree, b) with no debt AND c) at that time, a clear 110k. I could have gone back to school, and 20K later, still have almost 100K left. Starting with a little nest egg would not have been terrible. AND, the lack of loans would have been nice too.
Prior to NIL a lot of these kids who didn't get any pro run started off with zip.
It's a cruel, unfair world, but I'm not sure this is presently so terrible for the young people right now.
Now, if you want to talk about college experience and personal development, that is where many are losing out on my opinion. But who needs that when there is money to be made?
You don't have to make the NBA. Better development = better skill set = more $$ in Europe too.
If a kid has the potential to play professionally, even in Europe, college years should be seen primarily as an opportunity to learn their craft, improve their skills. A good investment there can pay big down the line. Maybe not for guys like Halliburton and Lebron, but for more average NBA players.
I think he also tweeted some stuff after Texas beat us in football. Nothing crazy, but he didn't tweet about other games Texas won.
Sure, he was probably extra happy about that W.
Just odd so many people are aware of trashing ISU but won't post what it is.
(To me, it's most likely a telephone game situation.)
Didn't he take a tweet down that was pretty clearly aimed at ISU after he got some pushback?
CW has talked about it, as has Blum. Hunter essentially left Ames after the NCAA tournament (not sure he even came back to Ames), which I believe is where the animosity started.
I don't doubt that something like that could happen at all but thats still a far cry from "trashing Iowa State."
Now you tell me! I've been wasting my time at the golf range hacking away at buckets of balls
During the season, he wasn't shy about posting stories about Men's basketball losses (he sure had fun during our streak where we were like 2-7 in February), even our "broke football program".
Interesting. I'm sure people screen shotted that stuff.
I don't think it qualifies as trashing, but his comments about going elsewhere to expand on his skills (paraphrasing) seemed kind of cloaked in making it sound like his skills weren't fully realized or displayed with ISU's coaching.
He improved in areas the last two years although there's plenty of evidence that ISU's coaches know how to get lots of improvement out of players.
Maybe in the end it was just a 'fit' thing and now he's back to finding the last one.

I don't care how some feel about him, this was pretty bad ass.
He didn't have a great game vs Wisconsin, but his game against LSU is one of the more impressive individual performances in Cyclone history.
I think a lot of it could be fit and I'm OK with that. By now, we've seen the success of guys that buy in and operate as a team. If Tyrese didn't want to do that or value that as his priority, that's his right and his loss of fan support.I don't think it qualifies as trashing, but his comments about going elsewhere to expand on his skills (paraphrasing) seemed kind of cloaked in making it sound like his skills weren't fully realized or displayed with ISU's coaching.

I don't and have never bought his NIL comments. Never have, never will.
