Just adding the other angle since yours makes it look like the largest arena in the nation.

If he goes to nebby good for him. He obviously didn't want to coach at Iowa state. He left the cupboard bare, didn't like recruiting, and used us a a stepping. I hate to say it but the transfer market is night and day different now.

Cupboard bare....he left CSP with two players whose respective jerseys will hang in the rafters at Hilton. You want to discuss cupboard being bare see what Morgan left for McDermott and what McDermott left forbFred.

Yeah it's a real dump. It's as nice as any arena in the country. I can't believe you are this butthurt that Hoiberg may start dating someone else! Just admit it's a great arena. You could sell that to a recruit just as easy as Hilton.

Diante Garrett, Thug Life, Big Silky, and an incoming freshman named Melvin Ejim, who should also have his number in the rafters, was not that bad with some hindsight.

Man, McD was really bad in Ames.

Big silky was such a liability on defense, although he could hit threes. That first team had zero depth and Fred had to scramble to get Jake Anderson, Jordan Railey, Calvin Godfrey, and Demarcus Phillips. Of the guys you listed that McD left Fred, only one had more than a year of eligibility left.

It’s not Morgan’s fault that Stinson and Blalock hated McDermott so much that they both decided to forgo their senior years in a terrible decision to try to go pro. Stinson, Blalock and Clark would have been a pretty good foundation, I think. Didn’t Carr transfer that summer as well?

Jesus. I can’t believe how many are drooling over the Nebraska basketball job on here. The way some of you are losing your mind, you’d think it is a top 20 job in thd country.

Compare that lineup to what Fred left and get back to me.

McD could recruit, there is no doubt about that, he brought in great players, but he could not keep them once they got here. And his actual coaching left a lot to be desired. He tried too many plays, too many different sets, and the kids just never could catch on. Some of that might have been because many did not stay around more than a couple of season.

McD failed differently than most coaches that move up, his recruiting was fine, it was his coaching and not keeping the kids on campus that was his downfall.
