RECRUITING: A transfer to keep en eye on

[LLCoolCY]

Jones is also exploring his options on turning pro. Initially I thought that was going to be the outcome though he may have gotten additional feed back and decided another year of college would be the best move. Guess his final destination won't be decided for a while. Obviously would be a nice fit (as would Livingston or Davis) for a post addition to impact next season.

Umm if he's not 7'2 we don't want him. cute:

Has to be a crazy good shooter from all over the floor too. And occasionally play point guard.

Turning pro in what?

 

[Hoiball92]

Turning pro in what?

Yeah he's not going to the NBA or the D league

I'm guessing this means Livingston wasn't as interested in Iowa St, as Iowa St was in him.

I'm guessing we are just casting a wide net since we can't afford to strike out

Turning pro in what?

Basketball.
“It has always been a goal of mine to play professional basketball so I plan to explore all of my opportunities,” said Jones. “I am going to work hard over the next month to position myself for the best available option, but I do not intend to sign with an agent. I would like to thank our entire coaching staff and administration for their support through this process.”

I think it speaks volumes that you're hearing Iowa St in on multiple immediately eligible bigs. Shows Prohm is intelligent and humble enough to know we have a position that needs improvement, and he's not afraid to go against top programs to fix it.

recruiting is like dating because everyone else is still looking for something better. at least in recruiting it's out in the open.

Non athletes just don't get it.

You can play professionally in basketball and not be in the NBA or D League. He'll have to decide if he wants to play one more year of college basketball to try to get more exposure for a better overseas contract or if he'd rather just go start making money now

Did not realize this was such a big thing until I started reading some of the Scout board.

Is it a lot worse over there?

(set to Farmer's only) You don't have to be school-less, at TBPMC.com.

There is a current thread that they are just ripping him to shreds. Only had a job bc of Fred, only player he brought in was Royce, etc. Giving him zero credit for anything.

Yes. You'd think Matt A slept with some of the posters wives the way they talk about him.

My commercial will be a clip of Fran yelling at a player and then a clip of Prohm hugging a player.

My commercial will be a clip of Fran yelling at a player and then a clip of Prohm hugging a player.

And you can have Fran at an empty Carver with an assistant and he says: "Where are all the P5 transfers at?"

But only Nicholas Baer appears.

Maybe a good 7th or 8th man, but that's about it for us.

I know there's all different talent levels and what not, and that Nash was a McDonalds All-American, but Jones actually makes me think of LeBryan Nash from Okie State watching his game. Maybe a poor man's version, who knows.

He looks pretty good. Can catch a bounce pass on the run so that's a plus. Appears to be aggressive. Also looks to have a decent jump shot. He only attempted 3 three pointers this year but I could see him be serviceable if left wide open.
