Lipsey was considered one of the top recruits in the country before his injury.
Tyrese Hunter Enters Portal Again
- Thread starter CyVeteran
- Start date
I was at the game with my daughter................and it was flat out embarrassing. He didn't have to honor his recruitment once the coach that recruited him moved on....but he did.
And here is all you need to know about the about hatred being thrown at Tyrese by ISU fans.....................he was a Steve Prohm recruit. That's it and that's all.
You think for a second if Omaha Biliew comes into Hilton the student section will be blurting "F Biliew" the entire game? Heck.......some might even give him a golf clap during intro's. This really isn't difficult. And if you have been on Cyclonefanatic for any amount of time it's as clear as day.
He talked trash about Iowa State on his way out. If you dish it out expect the same in return.
Omaha seems like a stand-up kid. I doubt he will say anything negative about Iowa State. That's why he won't get booed.
BEFORE his injury. Before being the key word. He was not ranked as high as Tyrese was when the final class rankings came out.
Also continued to do so on social media during the season.
You didn’t hear? He took a picture in front of the Johnny Orr statue in his Texas gear giving the Horns Up sign
Where did he talk trash? Maybe I missed it. That would change the facts, but where's your source to substantiate this?
I think booing a past player like Hunter who played hard while he was here, was upstanding, honored his commitment to ISU and a new coach, and then left to take a lot of money at another school is a horrible precedent to set. Particularly someone with his rough upbringing and tragedy in his family. Context matters.
I bet those of you booing have never been booed before (or done anything of athletic significance for that matter).
The two aren't really comparable. Hunter left when he was believed to be the centerpiece of the team. Omaha was having difficulty getting on the floor. One left for money, the other left for playing time. It's possible Hunter left believing Tamin would take his starting spot, but I doubt it. His time in Texas wasn't a success, but with the promise he showed as a freshman, I think it's possible he could do very well at a school that allowed him to take a greater leadership role. Probably not a top 25, but someplace like Iowa.
If you leave to go to the most hated school in the conference, fans are almost obligated to boo you. Deal with it.
To be fair, some of that (at least publically) came as a result of Kalscheur doing the same in the other direction.
I have zero problem with fans relentlessly booing him during an Iowa State-Texas game, but in a game in which Iowa State isn't even playing (where this conversation started), it does seem unnecessary to me.
Tyrese transferring also caused you to post that you were done watching college basketball so you may need some self reflection on that.
His stats weren’t significantly improved over the year before. A slight uptick in overall FG % and assists but also more TOs per game and worse from the FT line. He’s definitely not an efficient player so he really needs to be making things happen out there to be effective.
The only thing I've seen was the "You don't want this smoke" response on twitter to that video of Kalscheur saying he was looking forward to playing Texas. It wasnt really a shot at ISU, but ISU fans were looking for any purchase to go after Hunter so they took it.
I think it probably comes from this, as well as the "free smoke" comment:
In hindsight not bad of quotes, but I think people were frustrated by the disingenuousness of suggesting that NIL didn't play a role. I think people just wanted him to admit money was the reason he left and he didn't do that.

Yeah I just need more than that. It appears many others have seen or heard something that I haven't. Looking forward to finding out what it was though.
I asked a bunch in the past and no one could come up with anything else. I'd love to know if there is something else too.
