"This is a significant undertaking," Wintersteen said, "but our combined efforts will build upon both organizations' collective strengths and proud histories. It truly is exciting to consider the new opportunities that will emerge and to imagine how we benefit from a unified approach to engaging our tremendously loyal, tremendously supportive students, alumni, donors and friends." - ISU


Not sure how this will all flush out, whether it's a full merger under a new title or a soft combo of teams, the details at this time are pretty vague. The groups are pretty cross pollinated as it is so I don't think it's anything like a hostile corporate merger. Will be interesting to see how this new group gets along with the athletic department. The athletic department has always seemed to me to be less than friendly with either group as they seem to think they are "competitors" vying for dollars that should be donated to the department, and now NIL.

Since the COVID year, and suspended ISUAA event hosting in that period, the alumni association has seemed to lose a lot of momentum and the same of the ISU Foundation as well, at least locally here. ISU Foundation used to come up to Mpls (15,000 alumni here in the greater metro) annually each spring/summer and host a big invite president's reception. They have not done that in a number of years. Granted those relied a lot on a well to do alumni to sponsor it so maybe that country club set isn't stepping up like they used to. The last one they hosted was a poorly attended one hosted in a downtown Mpls hotel, not a great appeal locale compared to something like hosting at a country club or the Walker Art Center or something of that genre.

I know that the season started off with a lot of Hype after the finish in the NCAA game last year against Standford. But everyone had to remember that we still had only 1 senior on a limited minutes plan all year long to go along with 5 sophmores and 2 tranfers and 2 true freshman. Teams had game film on both addy and audi and both played at an unbelievable level all year long. All the girls hustled all year long and yes i understand that we need to figure out a defensive game plan with Audi not being able to guard anywhere but the paint.

Losing Kinze Hare what probably the biggest dagger . She was brought in to be that third scorer behind audi and addy. I am still excited about the future of this program. Tanke had some good minutes today she has a very good looking shot just need the experience at the big 12 level.

Last thing I do not why every one wants to Bash on Bill . He has been the head coach for 30 years 800 wins and has brought this program to national respectability. How many 20 win seasons has he had! How many times has he taken the girls to postseason mulitple big 12 tournament titles. I DO NOT THING HE NEEDS TO GO ANYWHERE!

Back again! This time with a hopefully working laptop for a bit. I'll get this more formatted and updated later on but for now I want to at least get the framework out there

I was wondering if someone with a financial background could answer this for me. I have heard plenty of debate on if it is better to pay taxes or receive a refund. I always hear “giving the government a interest free loan”. What is the best option in your opinion?

Guessing he feels surpassed.

Chris Williams and Brent Blum recap the NFL Draft weekend for Iowa State and why it’s so important for the future of Iowa State. Higgins and Noel team up, Dominick Nelson commits, and more. Presented by Mechdyne.

Now that the season is over…I’ve started thinking about NIL and how uncontrolled, it has corrupted college athletics. What will happen in the off season? We know SEC or BIG teams will be sending offer sheets to Brown and Crooks. Tampering is no longer a thing. Loyalty is a fading trait for many. Thoughts?

Julian Wright wants Bill Self gone , willing donate to his buyout.

It's taken me a while to be able to sit down and look back at this season. But, it's done. Here is a summary and a few thoughts.

Sounds like Big Noon Kickoff may be coming to Ames this season for Cy-hawk game.

Looking like we will need to fill two guard spots with Gilbert and Jones leaving (assuming Curtis doesn't get an extra wavier for the year he played at Indian Hills). Our scholarships look to be 13 next year. Depending on the court rulings that could increase to 15 spots which is the current roster limit. We will have some room to fill with some dudes. Iowa State next year will be an attractive transfer destination. Here are some guys I am keep my eye on that fill what TJ has gone after in the past; Midwest ties, multiple years, low ego, "transfer up" type guys:

Abdi Bashir Jr. - two years to play
Terrence Brown - two years to play
Treysen Eaglestaff - one year to play
Bennett Stirtz- one years to play.. doubt he'd leave his coach as he followed him to Drake but kid can ball
Conor Enright - stats don't jump off the page but he's a pass first guy and very efficient. One year to play

Any other guys of note?

Lots of Cyclones playing for Rocco’s dad.

And others from Iowa like Max Duggan.

Cool chest cam on Willie Harvey.

...and I put "National Duals" in quotes because this is a totally different event from what we've historically known as National Duals.

Believe he has 3 years. Not the best shooter, but is a slasher type that can be a versatile defender at 6'5

Outside of your primary team, who do you root for the most because of that team having former Clones?

Well, that opens up a crowded CB room a bit. And lends some credence to Mason Ellens possibly playing corner instead of FS.
