Mitrou-Long Out Rest of Season

[CarlHungus]

Fran Fraschilla very classy with his tweets about Naz. Would expect nothing else from him

I wouldn't be super confident of Naz getting the redshirt. It's not a slam dunk by any means.

Yes it is. He didn't take a redshirt. He's played in less than 30% of games. The injury is season ending. Those are the three rules he needs to meet. He meets all of them.

Let's just say this: If you thought of it, you should disagree with yourself. If a reporter thinks of the same thing as you, you should disagree with both of you.

They actually rarely know anything and very much speculate.

He isn't really a reporter anymore. He used to be but now he is an entertainment guy for ESPN. Still calls himself a reporter but these guys are the equivalent of newpaper sports columnists or radio talk dudes.

 

[CycloneErik]

Is he saying "very good" as in an upper echelon team or "aren't gonna be very good" as in worse than middle of the pack?

Not sure. I read it like he thinks we'll be jsb level next year, but I could be wrong.



Also, I propose that we can now use "jsb" as a verb meaning "panic," "suck," or "fail." The last one would go hand-in-hand with the term "windmill."

I blame @Big12Refs.

Higgins again?

Right on cue to rustle jimmies.

Re: Long Out Rest of Season

That's a pretty selfish plan by ISU coaches if you are right. What if he doesn't get the medical redshirt?

I don't see the "selfish plan" angle, every kid wants to play.

It was more in the "give it a go and see what happens" mode.

Original "Naz is having surgery" thread here: http://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/showthread.php?t=202920
There was a strong debate beginning on page 4 about the timeline to return from the injury.

Silver lining is that our depth has just improved for next year.

Is anybody else getting concerned that we will not have enough guard minutes to go around next year between Cooke, Long, Thomas, Jackson, and maybe Morris? Team chemistry may suffer.

Just kidding, I'm just ******* with you guys. :smile:

 

[CoKane]

Of ******* course.

 

[Jer]

FYI there is no truth to the suggestion the Naz is interested in any way in transferring. The guy loves ISU and will play his last game in Cardinal and Gold, at the conclusion of next season.

 

[CoKane]

Do we know for sure that he's eligible for next season or are the people posting about it just guessing?

Completely agree with this statement, but do you have inside info that confirms this thought?

Re: Long Out Rest of Season

Like I said, I doubt he gets it. Or maybe he'll just be done with basketball. I sort of doubt he'll really want to play on next year's team.

Why not? He doesn't want another chance to play in the NCAA tournament? Makes sense.

 

[swarthmoreCY]

With Monte & Naz- definite tournament team

Without Monte, with Naz- likely tournament team

Without ether, I think we have a chance to sneak in, but a lot of things will have to come together

Next year, as the roster stands now, is going to be rough IMO.

 

[Cyclonepride]

If I had to guess, Goodman probably took some heat for his initial tweet, got his panties in a bind, and doubled down on his stupid.

 

[ISUTex]

Next year's team isn't likely to be a tournament team.

But I've got this. We don't need Naz this year. And he'll be back next year.

Uhhhh, says who?

 

[CycloneErik]

Uhhhh, says who?

Just see every jsb post with that Debbie Downer picture and ignore the words.
