How bout Shawn Bankhead. He would rebound and generally ugly the team up a little. Our team is to pretty.
If you could choose one Cyclone from the past to come and help this team out

Any point guard
Tinsley
Stinson
Blaylock
any of those three players would probably have gotten this team to the tourney.

My first thought was Fizer, then Tinsley. But I might go the route of Willoughby, Hoiberg or maybe Stevie Johnson.
Here's why: A PG like Tinsley would make the most sense, but I sometimes think Diante is OK as a sort of second-point guard with Colvin at point and the front line is at least solid.
I think what could make a huge impact would be a dependable shooter from mid- to long-range. A few well-timed 3's probably could've gained 4 more wins alone.
Then again, you could go the rebounding route, too, and you might come up with an entirely different list. Or FT shooting.
Etc.

Kantrail Horton: Plays tough. Can shoot the rock from outside. Can handle the rock. Can play solid defense. All issues we have.
Hell, Sean Haluska. Not the most talented guy, but I'd love to see his effort rub off on some other players, and no way Clemente or any other guard that has torched us this year does that.

I think we are pretty strong at the PG w/ colvin starting to really see the floor better and better each night, and once he settles down a little more his shot will start to shine. My first thought was Willoughby, he was the man, clutch, played really hard and definsively hustled! Grant the fact that he was playing like 40 min. most games and still could shoot any shot at the end of the game. But another good would be CATO. We need a true 5 man. somone that will stop the other team from getting 4 offensive rebounds. Someone that could actualy reward the team with stops on the defensive side, not to mention his ability to block shots and start the transition game.
Surely you are joking. I'm not even convinced he is the best on this team. Hornacek, Halloway, Blaylock, Taylor, are just some that are leaps and bounds ahead of DG. Not an attack on DG, he gives his heart but talent wise no way he is 2nd best in ISU history. Not close.
Tinsley. There is no question if what you are wanting is instant impact. This team would be sick with a guard that could get the ball inside and be a threat to score himself.
are you ********? He was pointing out that EVEN IF DG was second best ever he would have a long way to go to be as good as Tinsley. He was not at all saying DG is second best. His point was Tinsley is so far above any other guard we have ever had talent wise that it wouldn't even be close no matter who was number 2.
Jamal Tinsley.... and it's not close.
Jeff Grayer would probably the the next one followed by the mayor....

All of us who said JT are right. Also for years i've have wondered who the best player to ever play for us is. Reading through the post and thinking alot. It is Jamaal Tinsley. I think I can say that without thinking twice.
Gary Thompson. For goodness sakes, the dude was voted ahead of Wilt Chamberlain as conference player of the year. Phog Allen called him the best ball player the conference had ever seen.
Nothing against Tinsley, but did anyone see Tinsley vs. Baylor? Vs. Hampton? Thompson would have turned those miserable losses into a beatdown in our favor.
Put the Roland Rocket on this team, and they beat Northwestern, Texas, K-State, Tech and Oklahoma.

Did you see Gary Thompson in that game against Oklahoma A&M. He cost us the game.
