#1 on my wish list next year is getting someone in the portal that hits 40% from 3. Even if its some 5'7 guy from the Sunbelt
No kidding. It isn't even close. Find a god damn shooter. And then find another one. And then you can focus on the rest.

Yes. I was already pissed about the game and I heard him say that and I was irate.
I agree, the roster will look completely different.
There will come a point where he will need to have some continuity, but not in year two.
If he’s overhauling the roster like that 3 years from now, that’s bad. But he’s got to get more good players in the program.
He’s publicly throwing players under the bus for not trying, we are done for the year. And I worry about losing Brockington and Hunter.
Continuity may be a thing of the past, the transfer portal has really changed the game for schools like ISU. You may be able to find players you need, but you also will lose players you develop.
We've got to assume that we'll lose Brockington.
But if we lose Hunter, we are ******. But I doubt we will. Everything TJ has said about him is that he's a pretty level headed kid. Of course, TJ said that Tre was the best teammate on the team and then apparently Tre is a bad teammate all of a sudden.
I keep saying it, but TJ's post game comments consistently sound like he's missing the point. I'm getting worried he's gonna keep going all in on defense-above-anything-else (or effort, w/e) when it's clear it's an offensive skill/scheme issue more than anything.
When we played fast and pushed the tempo we jumped out to a lead, and we were driving and kicking. Then we went back to the same ****** offensive sets and settling for dumb shots. That's all coaching.
TJ then threw the guys under the bus on his post game interview with Walter's and Heft saying they "need to play more urgent and show effort and he's only going to play the guys who show effort and urgency".
Well TJ I don't see you showing any urgency standing on the sidelines, armed crossed, biting on your finger while the refs make horrible calls right in front of you. You want the team to show effort then you show effort fighting for your team with the refs.
I get that, but it's quite literally the coach's job to put them in a position to succeed. Do you think that's been done very well on one side of the court?I mean, I think he would go all in on offensive now if he could. We don't have the guys other than Brockington and sometimes Hunter. Scheme isn't going to suddenly make Gabe drop 6 3s again or suddenly turn anyone else into a 15ppg guy.
It's been said.
This is completely seperate to this Iowa State team, but I remember my high school team, us on the "B" team beat the "A" team just about every time in practice because the only guys who could shoot he had determined before the year weren't "A" team worthy. Needless to say, that guy got fired shortly after I graduated.He’s got to know effort and urgency only get you so far. As a coach you have to put your players in a position to succeed. Just an example, and I know it’s been beat to death on here, but when you run one set pretty much exclusively, you aren’t doing that.
I had coaches in my playing days that only played the guys they thought “played hard” even thought they maybe weren’t as talented as the others. We lost a lot of games.
Then cite it. Because you don’t exactly have a ton of credibility.
It's unreal to me but Lunardi still has us in and it's not even last four safe or last four play in.
I mean...it's a matter of time before we are out, but shockingly even after today's loss at home, he still has us in.

The ISU coaches can scout too.Probably scouting. Our defense led to a lot of easy fast break points. Also, the Big 12 is strong top to bottom.
Its because of our strong non-conference. But we cant lose out and make it, and after today I can't confidently say we'll win another game.
