McDermott confirms that Hamilton and Buckley will transfer

[ChrisMWilliams]

QUote from Coach McDermott via an ISU release:


“Justin met with our staff and expressed a desire to play basketball at a school closer to home,â€￾ McDermott said. “Dominique is seeking a school where he can receive more playing time.â€￾

BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!

And let the meltdown start.

Buckley isn't surprising but Hamilton is.

Can't complain about Buckley, he's 3rd string. Ham must just really wanna play near home. Being a starter on a Big 12 team is about as good as you can get for him.




Remember folks, we only had 4 conference wins WITH all these guys. Maybe fresh blood is what we need.

We are Iowa State!

 

[TheHelgo]

my position on the fence just swung massively to the side of being in favor of replacing McD. This is just dumb how this happens every ******* year.

 

[Wesley]

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. What is in the water?

 

[Tornado man]

Good...god. What the hell is going on with this program? If JP doesn't start asking hard questions, I'm sure Geoffrey will.

 

[Dryburn]

Surprise, surprise

Gee, who could have predicted this?

 

[huntt26]

Nothing new here

 

[Knownothing]

I smell contract extension.

Excellent. Ham is going to be an outstanding player.

Another red letter day for the GMac era. :no:

Good news is that the GMac excuse makers already have the cupboard stocked for another year: (a) Gilstrap denied, (b) Ham transfers.

 

[Tre4ISU]

Anyone with knowledge. Does this make us much more attractive to Wilkins? He now has the opportunity to come in and play right away.

 

[Torks Pub]

The rats are fleeing the sinking ship.

 

[GoShow97]

I was looking forward to seeing Hamilton improve his game. He showed some very good promise at times. I think he would have become more consitant. Too bad.

 

[IowaStateClones]

Who gives up a starting spot on a Big12 team?

 

[TheHelgo]

McD needs to step down - players clearly do not like him AT ALL. I simply can't believe this.

Transfers are a part of every CBB team, but it has been taken to a whole new level with ISU under McD. Unbelievable.

 

[Cyclonepride]

I've been supporting things all along, but holy cow, I really don't know what to think now.

 

[cyismydog]

That is going to hurt next year.
Big time

I'm not meaning to turn this into anything about bashing Mac, but is next year, year 1 again? This is getting a bit ridiculous now. 1 or 2 people leave and you think, well maybe just this isn't the place for them. A couple more leave and you begin to question whats going on. When as many kids have left ISU that has, and pretty decent players also, it makes you really question whats going on with the coaching staff. I have supported ISU basketball through it all, but I'm looking for that little bit of light at the end of the tunnel and I am not seeing it.
