Gonna save this post for the next time you're throwing another tantrum over people not being positive over Iowa State basketball next season


That you think that shows how poorly you read.

there’s a difference the size of the Grand Canyon between being positive, and the nonsense that is continually posted about the coach and certain players.

Grill potentially but no way Butler would touch Lewis or Zion

Butler is a good program for reasons including they don’t take guys who can’t shoot (Zion) and they don’t play guys who don’t buy in (Terrence).

I was optimistic about both guys when they were Cyclones but think I’m being more realistic now. Terrence is a legit stud on offense though. Fantastic finisher, good shooter with a nice release. Nose for the ball.

You are very much not the person who should be talking **** about other people's reading skills my guy.

If Lewis proved anything over 3 years at Iowa State it's that he's not a good shooter at all

I just want what’s best for the guy. He deserves it.

I'm thinking he's made that choice by staying at Iowa State. He's played for the Cyclones for a long while now and as far as we know, still intends to. It's perplexing for Iowa State fans to hope otherwise, altruistic or not.

I could see him potentially transferring closer to home, if he does decide to. Especially since he strongly considered transferring out earlier in the season.

I’ve never seen an isu fan base truly hope for a HC to fail. Embarrassing.

There’s plenty to blame for Prohm but losing 2 underclassman to nba last year and 1 this year..3 in two years no program expects.. let alone a program like isu that can not afford to lose 1.

We’ve lost grad transfer targets to SDSU, Michigan, Cinnci, Seton Hall, Turner stays at BG, Bama, Syracuse, Kentucky.

that’s basically who we’ve lost out to thus far.

All of those were ranked programs last year accept BG.

it’s not like we are losing transfers to Northern Illinois.

it’s Mid April. More will come on the board and those teams above won’t be competing with isu.

I think if Lewis had played for Johnny he'd of been better than Hurl but worse the Barry. Maybe about Elmer level.

Stevens wasn't big on D. So much so that when Knight brought his Hoosiers into Hilton he described Steven's performance as one of the best "offensive " performances he'd ever seen.

You have to beat good teams for good players that’s how this works. The issue that everyone seems to have their head buried in the sand about is that the grad transfer isn’t thrilled with this roster on its face and you can’t meet any of the guys on campus. Secondly, it has become abundantly clear that CSP’s future at Iowa State is being used in a big way against him and those coaches are preaching to these kids the overall trajectory of the program the last three years.

That combination is going to be difficult to overcome prior to November of this year when we sign for 2021-22 because we don’t know if the 4 freshmen are talented enough to turn this thing. So you have non-existent class, strong class, non-existent class over the last three recruiting cycles in Year 5-7.
